With this Out-of-Possession role the Pressing Wing-Back is asked to aggressively 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 them. Because of this higher positioning, it's important to ensure that there's enough defensive cover behind them from their teammates.
You'll notice the Pressing Wing-Back will press aggressively opponent’s widest player on opponents half and mark normally on his own half. Against teams without wingers, he’ll still hold a higher position but won’t actively press, instead reverting to normal behaviour based on team instructions.
