Overtaking an opponent

In FIFA, it is immensely difficult to overtake an opponent - this may be affected mainly by major changes that the defensive game of the opponents. It goes without saying that it is one of the key ways of halting the opponents and, to the major extent, it consists in preventing wing attacks in a shoulder-to-shoulder duel. A good way to knock the opponent out of the pace of running is to pull him by the t-shirt - you do this by pressing the tackle button, thanks to which you slow the opponent down and get the opportunity to tackle the ball in a non-invasive way. For this reason, it is a good idea to keep muscular and agile players on the wings of your defenses.

 

If there are any problems interrupting the opponents action, it is also a good idea to use the help of another player - thanks to this, you can, predominantly, push the offensive action to the side and corner the opponent, who either loses the ball or kicks it out of the sideline - Advanced defensive techniques - Defense - FIFA 16 - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Teammate contain

If there are any problems interrupting the opponent's action, it is also a good idea to use the help of another player - thanks to this, you can, predominantly, push the offensive action to the side and corner the opponent, who either loses the ball or kicks it out of the sideline. It is a very useful technique, although it opens up an empty area and allows one of the opponents to move around freely. To ask the goalkeeper for help, hold down the teammate contain button.

Blocking a shot in the penalty area

Blocking a shot in the penalty area, with a slider, is a difficult and highly risky a tactic - if performed incorrectly, it results in a penalty kick and a high chances of losing a goal. If it is possible for you to do anything, it is a good idea to use teammate contain, or control the pace, at which your opponent enters your penalty area - at this points, the opponent often searches for another solution, by escaping into the wing and playing the ball to another player.

Contain on the opponent's field

Contain on the opponent's field is especially useful when you need to make up for the lost points and the opponent is carefully planning on the next position attack and plays the ball among his defenders. In such situations, it is necessary to send out a greater number of own players to the opponent's half and try to tackle the ball. Especially, it is a good idea to contain goalkeepers, who are usually the recipients of such balls - it is frequent an occurrence when a hesitant pass takes place, or you win a throw-in from the sidelines after the goalkeeper's inaccurate pass. Of course, such tactics may provoke the opponent to counter, but well - in such situations you simply need to take the risk.

Maintaining the tactical discipline

Maintaining tactical discipline is immensely important, when it comes to a defensive game - if you are counting on good results, you need to go by the predetermined assumptions on the numbers of the formation and on the behavior of the individual players. Any attempts to break up the defensive formation, or to cover an individual player make no sense, - this model of defense works much worse than zone defenses, with the option to double the covering of the individual players.
