In a full on squeeze you are looking for a mistake (esepcially by an opposition CB).

A mistake might be a :

• Bad pass (off target, to the wrong foot), in the air, bouncing etc). Press while the receiver recovers the bad pass.
• Bad first touch (to heavy/soft, bouncing, to a poor position)
• The CB facing the wrong way (a corner - when it is hatd to find a good pass)

Once the moment has been recognized and the squeeze is on, ALL players get involved and constrict the space around the ball, and make it really tight. If the ball is won, then the opposition may counter press, so move the ball quickly once won.

This is especially effective if the oppostion CB makes the mistake, as winning the ball high can reap high rewads, but a press is always more effective following a mistake from an opposition player.
