Defense play  (20/23)

 

Appropriate zone covering causes a lost possession in rival formation. Try to control your players. Press [S] to switch between them.

 

 

Press [D] when you get close to opponent. It’s called conservative tackling. It’s a safe move and you shouldn’t be punished with a free kick.

 

 

Second way is a traditional tackle – press [A]. Remember that this type of play has some risk. Referee can punish you with a foul and a yellow or red card. Don’t try it when you’re running from behind!

 

 

Striker in possession of the ball is a big threat. Force him to resign from dribbling. Press and hold [D] button to use pressing move. Selected players will run to him and try to regain possession.

 

 

Fight for the ball to keep your team in possession. Situation on the screen above is quite typical – two players take part in a duel. Press and repeat [S] button as fast as you can. Quicker footballer will pass to his teammate by impressive tackle.

 

 

Do not forget abort positioning on the pitch. Especially when opponent has throw-ins. Switch to a desired player and move him towards a spot on rival’s front. It’s a smart move to gain possession and use counterattack to score a goal.
