Counter-Pressing may conflict with the Mid Block strategy, risking gaps when counter-press fails.
Potential Overlapping Wing-Backs
Aggressive attacking wing-backs might leave spaces behind when opponents counter.
Overloading One Side

Adjust Mid Block Height
Consider adjusting the height of the mid block to balance pressing need and defensive organization.
