Defensive third pressing

when playing against technically skilled teams, the defensive block tends to move back a bit and is only able to excert pressure between the edge of the penalty area and centre of the pitch. Often positioned very deep, these extremely compact defenses allow few spaces or possible between the defense and mdfielder. Teams that put pressure on the opponents in midfielder are able to close down space around the halfway line and put pressure on the opponent when the ball enters that area of the field.
