High pressing is no longer a single, fixed idea. Today’s top teams press in different ways depending on their structure, player profiles, and game context. As a coach, understanding how and why teams press — and not just where — is essential to build an effective defensive model.

In this introductory webinar, we will explore the foundations of high pressing through three main approaches: individual (duel) pressing, block pressing, and an introduction to hybrid pressing. You will learn how these models affect decision-making, space control, and defensive transitions, and how to start identifying which approach best fits your team.

In this full webinar, we go beyond the introduction and analyze high pressing through a complete tactical lens. We break down duel (individual) pressing and block pressing, showing how each model prioritizes different defensive references: the ball holder, passing lines, space, and collective structure.

Hybrid pressing will be explained as a logical combination of duel and block pressing, helping you understand how teams mix individual references and collective structure depending on the situation, triggers, and zones of the pitch.

Using real-game examples — from teams with a strong individual pressing approach like Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich, to more block-oriented models such as Manchester City, and more flexible approaches under coaches like Hansi Flick — we connect theory with real tactical behavior.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear framework to choose, adapt, and coach high pressing according to your players and competitive context.
