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 covering the vast space behind falls to the keeper and quick CBs — high risk. Knowing one run in behind can blow the game apart is part of the thrill.
Analysts say“A very high line — their No.9 is eyeing the space behind, so expect a thrilling game.”
