Hello, buddy. I hope you find this helpful. First here is my team. I don't know who you're playing with right now. I managed to win like this.
I remind you that I only use instructions for players in some games. I play most of the games myself without instructions.

You have to watch every game. You don't always have to press defenders if they play long balls right away. But let me try to explain to you what it is about.
Here I made a picture as if the opponent is playing 4123. It is very similar with 4231, but more on that later.
Here are some of the rules for this tactic:
1. Before the game, he always tells the players to do it for the fans, that the fans expect victory.
2. At half time I encourage them, you are doing a great job, . I lost a lot of games 1-0. After halftime and looting. I was winning with a lot of goals scored.
3. I never speak during the game price. Relax and in most games I lost. I don't tell them the price even when we are leading by a big margin.
4. If they really play badly, I demand more from them.

I never put a single instruction on the central striker.
Put the right back to force the right leg, the left one to force the left.
Here's an explanation why.
Let's take the example of their left back who is marked in yellow. He comes to throw the ball. We instructed him to use his right leg. He runs in, our players force him to the right foot. He must go back as marked in orange and throw. And by then, our defenders have already lined up and are waiting patiently.

If we press them non-stop. They will be moody and often make mistakes. We make the players use their worse leg, they will be nervous and make a lot of mistakes. Be careful when making changes to adjust the instructions.
As you have seen, I never put a tackle instruction on attackers.
Why* So they will study in my penalty area, my players will commit a foul and they get a penalty.
What do we gain by pressuring everyone?
Well, it's simple. We press, they make mistakes, they are nervous. The ball does not reach the striker. And if he comes he has a bad grade and he can't score.

If they play 4231. Watch out for the player behind the striker. He knows how to often enter the penalty area and score a goal.
if they change the lineup during the game. Take care of someone from the wing to play central striker. If he changes his position, he takes the instructions with him.
I hope I helped you at least a little. Report your results. Although you discover something else interesting with this tactic.
