Passing Lane Pressing: A Tactical Approach
Looking at passing lane pressing, we're focusing on persuading the opposition into playing a pass. When they have the ball, we're not locking onto early, allowing them to think that they've got options on the board. In reality, when we go to play it, we can hunt in packs and win that ball, stopping them from playing their forward and keeping possession.
Players moved towards the ball on lost possession and then blocked passing lanes, leaving other options as bait. A red player in the middle has got the ball, and we're looking at a Barcelona scene with our midfield three of Bush, Get, Iniesta, and Javi moving into position. Esther is blocking that pass into the striker whilst also forcing the play backwards.
Iniesta locks onto the player, while javi locks onto the player. This creates a 5v3 overload, where the play goes to play a ball into the winger. We have two players who can intercept the ball, and our back four is in place, with Daniel having an option to get Ythen in behind. Our front three of Pedro, Messi, and Vera are protected by Bush getting Abidal and Dani Álvarez covered.
Our approach is to win that ball by baiting the opposition into plane passes where we want them to go. We're trying to force the ball into areas where space is congested and we enclose the center of the pitch off. When we spoke about last week's bolt and closing the player on the ball's field of vision, this approach continues.
The player with the ball is aware that there are options available, so they want to lock onto them and close the pitch. This creates a situation where our players can come inside and win the ball from them, playing it into positions where we have runners. By beating the opposition in two areas where we want them to go, we're now pressing a team to win the ball and having possession of the pitch or even in the middle.

pressing but before we get into this week's video make sure to give us a like and subscribe and if you missed last week's video click on the link above so we're going to be looking a passing lane pressing a method which has been frequently used by pep guardiola so let's get two minutes on the clock and let's go okay so looking a passing lane pressin we're focusing on persuade than the opposition into playing a pass and so we're seemingly openly before intercepting the ball so when the opposition's got the ball we're not locking on to early well let them think that they've got options on the board when in reality when we go to play it we can hunt in packs to go and win that ball to stop them playing their forward and stop them being able to keep the same possession so the players moved towards the ball on the lost possession and then blocked passing lanes where I leave on other options as bait really so red player in the middle here's got the ball so we're looking at a Barcelona scene we've got our midfield three of bush get in the air center be so Jami any Esther here is blocking that pass into the striker whilst also forcing the play backwards at the same time because of Iniesta locks onto the player here and then javi locks onto the player you can only go this rate where you've got 5v3 overload so the play goes to play a ball into the winger here we've got two players who can intercept we're still in an attacking beta formation so we've got our back for here so Daniel this has got the option to get Y then in behind got our front three here so Pedro Messi and Vera's are from three you know obviously we've got our midfield three are back to their poor y'all and pique protected by Bush getting an Abidal and dani álvarez can cover back in and obviously yeah victor valdez so what we're looking at doing is as soon as we've lost possession coming on win that ball by baiting the opposition into plane passes where we want them to go okay so we're trying to force the ball into y the areas where space is congested and we enclose the center of the pitch off so when we spoke about last week a bolt and closing the player on the balls field of vision so the plane here's got the ball so if any s there or a V so sure he wants to lock on here and closing the pitch here okay so then this player here can come inside maybe for us that ball in here for then TT it or Messi to win the ball so then play in we get runners in here to then go and score okay so beating the opposition in two areas where we want them to go so now presses a team to win the ball have the pitch or even in the middle of the pitch to then go and score thanks for watching this week's video for more content follow me on Instagram Twitter and Facebook the links will be
