    A strong pressing forward can disrupt opposition builds.

    Conflicting Directions

    Wide Players vs Central Play

    Wingers might be isolated due to central focus in possession.

    Defensive Depth

    The higher line may expose defenders against quick counterattacks.

    Transition Vulnerabilities

    Counter-pressing might leave gaps when possession is lost.

    Tactical Suggestions
