Regarding Ste's point on Ronaldo pressing. He just had to mention Park Ji-sung man mark job on Pirlo. He basically block every pass Pirlo tried and at points the other players stop passing to him. This is all Ronaldo has to do sit on a centre back.
the main point for me that prove Ronaldo should be the first name on Ralf lineup...
when u win the ball with the counter pressure, who would u like having more on the pitch to act on it then RONALDO?!?! he will score 4 every match!
Press:
Actively pressing the opponent when out of possession
Counter press:
A delay tactic upon transition away from possession. Immediately swamp the opposition player when he wins the ball. Help the defence get back in position.
Joe don’t think that Malcolm Gladwell Revisionist history reference slipped by us. Love to see it

Ball pressure is secondary. Number one is being able to maintain possession.

Love this channel. Much better than listening to moaning and 30 second silences during watchalongs on another unnamed united fan channel.
