Want to park the team bus in front of your goal? If you want to make sure that your opponent doesn’t have many chances to score a goal or that they have to at least take difficult shots, the best way is to keep the value of the ball as high as possible when the opponent has the ball in your defensive area. To make this happen, always try to overpower your opponent in the area where the ball is, especially in your defensive zone, and always choose positioning as an action if you can. This way you give the opponent the chance to shoot at the goal, but it will be harder to score a goal.

Skills you can pair with this tactic: doubling, sweeper keeper.
