How Ismael approaches his players regarding the press is shared in his own words: “The first question I always ask my football players is: What is the press? We make a plan according to their answer. Let’s say the team fell back 1-0 in the first 15 minutes, what will we do next, how will the press continue? These are all processes. We must know the answer to all questions. “How we will play with the ball and how we will play without the ball, we must know all of them. The whole team must gain the ability to move at the same time. So when a press starts, everyone should be together, everyone should know when the press will start. This is a process, it does not happen immediately. This is a topic with my players one by one. I’ll work on it.”
