Meaning of こうまでも and use of 掛ける


> **こうまでも** プレッシャーを掛けられるとは

I don't understand how こうまでも works here.

Does プレッシャーを掛ける mean "to put pressure on"? I'm trying to translate 掛ける
individually here.




「こうまでも」 means "to _this_ extent". 「こう」 is used emphatically here.

> Does プレッシャーを掛{か}ける mean "to put pressure on"?

Yes, it does. It would need to be remembered as a set phrase. Otherwise, one
would probably not be able to come up with 「掛ける」if one were translating word
for word from English.
