Ultimately, some people don\u2019t understand what we need to play with that high defensive line. It\u2019s our own style; it\u2019s not just about the defenders. The forwards and midfielders also initiate the press. That\u2019s what I need from the players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThe blame seems to fall on the defense, but that\u2019s not fair. If we don\u2019t all press effectively, we\u2019ll have problems, I want to make that clear. I said I was optimistic because we did some things well, but we need to improve in attack when we start the press. I want to see what I see in training, and I like what I see. The players are very focused and have a lot of quality. Pedri, Raphinha, and Marcus will contribute even more. I have to tell the players what I see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIn today\u2019s training session, I saw good dynamism and more intensity, more confidence with and without the ball.
