With this Out-of-Possession role the Pressing Full-Back is asked to actively engage opposition wide players high up the pitch to support the team's press. The player will often take up a higher starting position during early phases of the opposition attack in order to be in a better position to engage players ahead of him. Because of this higher positioning, it's important to ensure that there's enough defensive cover behind him from his teammates.
You'll notice the pressing full-back presses aggressively in the middle and attacking thirds. Sometimes stepping out of the defensive line to close down the opposition full-back and at other times he'll holding a higher position even if no wide player is present. In the defensive third the pressing full-back reverts to behaving like a standard full-back.
