The Loons press but are not a pressing team. The Loons sit back but are not a bunker and counter team. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, let me explain.
The Loons do not try and re-establish possession by constantly pressing the opposition à la Matías Almeyda. The Loons do however press in key moments when they think they can regain possession. They don’t necessarily consistently counter-press, but they do look to apply pressure to win the ball of an arrant pass in certain key areas where it triggers. This generally occurs when the opposition center back plays the ball wide to an outside back, and looks to find a central based midfielder.
