In this short thread, I've highlighted multiple instances where their pressing worked to perfection in winning the ball back, closing all the outlets for Napoli to build up and compressing the space required to defend in the middle. Let's examine how it worked: 👇
Counter-press case 1:
• Pass played to Frenkie about to result in loss of possession in zone b5
• Alba, Pedri and Busi positioned close to be able to press and cut passing lanes
• Overload created by numerical superiority, Alba intercepts, possession won back in b4
