Defending Controls

Your best offence is a great defence! Since the only way to win is to prevent more goals from going in your own net than your opponent's, a great defensive understanding is crucial.

Discipline is the key to great defence; don't panic and use common sense. Knowing your attackers and their tendencies is very helpful in planning your defence.

The defending controls work a lot like the sport in real life, so get to know when to "jockey" and not "stab in" and you will find your keeper getting a lot of "clean sheets." Once possession is lost, all team members are now defenders, starting with the forwards to do their best to prevent the ball even getting into their own half. The first line of defence are not the stoppers; they are the forwards and midfielders.

Listed in this section are nine types of basic defending controls as well as how to best use them
