How to Be a Possession Based Team in the Premier League

In every Premier League match next season, both teams are going to have at least one spell of possession. If United are going to be the highest pressing team in the Premier League, that means they're going to spend a lot of time in transition phases. You can be possession based and extremely vertical. And not even have particularly high possession numbers. I would say you can average like 52% possession and still be possession based. Very vertical passes. Play the ball over the top because possession based really at least how we use it.
