goon Everything we do with Zinchenko, and also the way for example that White "stages" his overlaps when we're already settled in the attacking phase, is pretty much enabled by the quality of our high press. And other details.
When you see these sorts of tactical extensions to the press, it makes you understand the obsession with the defensive attributes of our forward signings.
It's true we're imitating City through Arteta's apprenticeship with Guardiola, but I still feel like this is a style that hasn't been seen in England before. It's not too similar to the vulnerable high press we used to play in Wenger's tiki-taka era, which was neither as advanced, nor as secure in recovery, nor arguably as capable of initiating relatively higher risk attacking plays.
