Martino demands better pressing from Barcelona players

Barcelona coach Tata Martino is demanding an increase in pressing when without possession.

Lionel Messi revealed the new approach from Martino yesterday.

"He is telling us that we need to get back to being who we have been for the last few years," Messi explained. "He wants us to create more pressure and work on recovering the ball as quickly as possible. We're out to do that.

"We're still getting to know each other. Every coach has his own things. He hasn't come to change anything, just to get back what we lost a little last year."
