Southampton manager Ruben Selles has no problem drawing on former boss Ralph Hasenhuttl's high-press principles.

The Austrian had a lot of success at the club before this season, but was sacked with the team in danger of going down.

His replacement, however, did not last more than a few months, with Nathan Jones already replaced by Selles.

Speaking to the Daily Echo, he said: The ideas implemented, especially the high-pressing, is an idea that I have developed and especially with Ralph got to know, that is not a question.

One or a lot of the principles of the defensive high-pressure are coming from that, but I think we are also improving situations especially in possession with different ways to build up.

We probably did this better in the Chelsea game than the Leeds game, there were moments where you can see a team that find the offensive lines, find diagonals and can play between the lines and combine."
