Pressley Gears Up to Face Rangers’ Intense Pressing Strategy
Dundee’s head coach Steven Pressley is preparing for an intense challenge as his team is set to face Rangers. Under the new management of Danny Rohl, Rangers have adopted a robust pressing strategy. Rohl, who previously managed Sheffield Wednesday, took over from Russell Martin at Ibrox.
Understanding Rangers’ Pressing Strategy
Pressley, who previously served as the head of player development at Brentford, knows what to expect from Rohl’s coaching style. He mentioned meeting Rohl a year ago when he visited Brentford alongside renowned manager Hansi Flick.
- Rohl emphasizes a pressing game plan.
- His strategies have already been visible in Rangers’ performance.
- Adaptability in formations is a hallmark of his coaching.
Formation Changes
Rohl has implemented a 3-4-3 formation for his team. However, he also demonstrated flexibility during critical matches, switching to a back four against prominent rivals like Celtic and Roma. Pressley remains uncertain about which formation Rangers will adopt in their upcoming match.
“We need to be prepared for either a three or a four-man defense,” Pressley noted. He acknowledged that understanding Rohl’s tactics will be crucial for Dundee’s success against Rangers. The Scottish Premiership clash promises to be an intense encounter as both teams strategize for victory.
