          Indirect pressure

          A player may be trying to close down the space and control the direction in which the opposition player in possession can move with the ball, but is not attempting to directly recover possession themselves.

          Direct pressure

          A player has directly and aggressively closed down space between themselves and the opposition player with the ball and can compete for possession.
