European cry at a bullfight under pressure (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european' is the definition.
(Pole is an example)

'bullfight under pressure' is the wordplay.
'bullfight' becomes 'ole' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'under' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'ole' put after 'p' is 'POLE'.

'cry at a' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pole that I've seen before include "Round rod of wood or metal" , "Rod; shaft; European" , "Rod, perch" , "Punt propeller" , "Staff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
