Defensive Problem

[Pugge]

HI!

I have a big defensive problem.
I play as Sevilla and its going great, at least with the goal scoring. Almost every goal i condence is because my fullback loses his winger when he runs deep. The winger receives the ball behind my defensive line and has often two options, pass or shoot. See Screenshot!

I play a Fluid,high pressing zonal marking system.

Any tips of how i can defend agaist this?

try pressing less often instead of high pressing mate

You mean like lower the pressing mentality on the fullbacks with like 2-3 clicks?

 

[craig curtis]

yeah can give it a try! am not fan of zonal marking either

 

[Pugge]

ok! What to you think happens if i select tight marking for the fullbacks?

Try setting your defenders to tackle soft, I know it sounds silly but it has the same results as telling them to stand off but I think it works better
