Welcome to the big interview bite size. I'm Graham Hunter and in each episode

you'll hear an elite footballer tell a story that's guaranteed to brighten your day.

All of them will come from my podcast, The Big Interview with Graham Hunter,

which you can find by searching on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts?

What's the percentage split in the concept of pressing and positional play that's mental compared to physical?

Because I believe when I watch teams who try to press, I sometimes see footballers who do it because they're told to do it, but they don't believe in it and therefore their work efficacy goes lower.

You have to convince everybody, is that fair?

Yeah, it has to come from the stomach.

You cannot have one second of

of disappointment losing the ball.

It's always the next situation, it's like an invitation to create a new situation to win the ball and to use it.

And this is, you can only stimulate in certain

exercise you can only stimulate when the players really believe in it if all the

exercises are based on what we do about the better you play the more you play

the if you don't count the press well if you don't

press well the more you have to defend then it becomes like a natural skill of the

players because we really believe that they have to be with the whole body in the

training session. So not only the legs, not only the heart, not only lungs, but the whole.

We want this high level of concentration, specific concentration, and that creates like this

intensity everybody sees in our game.

And that's what you're going to ask for each day.

From the ultimate in team movement to maybe the ultimate in individual movement.
