If you press the defender as a striker, he rushes his pass we gain posesion, and an attack builds, your striker is almost on top of the defender he has pressed.
Strikers like to play on the shoulder of the defender to spin off him, keep between him and the ball, or alternatively, find as much space as you can to get away from the defender.
So what do you do, stay close on the shoulder, or find space ?
You can't press if you're trying to move into spaces.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't !
Kinda feel sorry for him, but it seems he just doesn't, or perhaps can't, give Klopp what he wants!
