Daniel A. Hi Daniel, thanks for the question. Keep firing away; we have no problem answering these.
If you’re 3v3 in midfield, we’d suggest your far-side wide forward positions himself to split the centre-back and the opposite full-back. That way, if the ball is switched to the free centre back, it’s the winger who looks to jump.
If he’s got his starting position wrong, or it’s a quality pass, I’d ask the winger to hold his position. But for any triggers, like the ball in the air or a pass behind the centre-back, I’d want him jumping.
And if they go back to the keeper, you just reset your press.
Your questions show a great understanding. If you have any more, let's jump on a call.

Hi, thanks for the question.
Against a back three, we’d look to control it with a minus one, using your 9 and 10 to press their three centre backs.
If they’re playing one of the 3-4-3 systems, your 9 and 10 work together in that minus one and you jump from your midfield when you need the extra player.
If they’re in a 3-5-2, jump press on the side the ball goes to.
Worst case, go 3v3 with your front three up against their back three, and force them where you need them to go.
