Hi, i would like an advice for pressing the opponents when they have the ball.

In my current tactics, it seems like all my players just drop back when the opponent has taken control. Instead of trying to win the ball back, my MC just let him have it, and take position outside my box ready to defend.
It is not just closing down that is wrong, it is my players are not agressive enough in fighting for the ball. It seems like my midfield just drop into my defence, making a very heavy defence but no pressure on the ball controller.

How can i make my midfield stay in the middle of the field and try to win the ball, instead of having them drop back in the defence line?

try:
1. Heavy closing down for your MC's
2. Hard tackiling for you MC's
3. Perhaps a quicker tempo
4. Perhaps puching your defensive line up a bit more (not too high)

Do you have counter attack on?

I think this is a replacement for 'behind the ball'

Try ticking it off
