3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
The higher the line, the more compact the shape and the more the press stays in their half. But the vast space behind relies on the keeper and quick CBs — high risk. The thrill that one run in behind can shatter the game is part of the appeal.
Analysts say“A very high line — their No.9 is eyeing the space behind, so expect a thrilling game.”
