"If the opposition have a small centre-forward they will want to thread balls through, work through the lines and play into feet or the channels," says Norwich City boss Chris.
"Pressing high up the pitch won’t let them do that. Don’t press man-for-man as they will just work the ball around you and create chances to score.”
