high pressure is not good if you are playing defensive with counters because your defenders will push high up during your attacks and you will risk of getting counter attacks from opponents
Yes but high pressing has a double effect
in attack and in defense (because you don't let oppo to come in your area so often).
Imagine the pressing style of Barca.
They do a high pressing and do not let oppo comes in their area + creating more attacking chances.
To avoid counter attacks, use a DMC and man to man.
