This is Jurgens way, scamper towards the ball, to harry a mistake and if we get it keep control.
We absolutely do not press teams we harass the ball carrier, a true press (Italian style) goes man for man.
Every team we play now is almost completely unmarked giving the ability to pass around us at will.
I could criticize this method at length, but Jurgen has used this method of ball retention to tire the opposition.
It does not (apparently) need heavy or forceful tackles merely dislodge or disrupt the opposition flow.
I personally hate it , but hey ho it has served Jergen well, and I dont see it changing anytime soon.
The best friendships are built on a solid foundation of alcohol, cake, sarcasm and a dislike of the same people.
