Instead of the introduction.

First, it is not the Research because it is not confirmed by tests (in a kind of their impossibility) and, in general, any special efforts for studying of a question has not been undertaken by me (therefore a lot of screenshots is not expected, as you can see all this facts within one match personally).

It is attempt of the answer to a question like "Why my FM-player under which it is written Henry cannot finish at least one of 1-on-1 from ten?", or: "And what is the main reason of these 1-on-1?"

I analysed playing of AI defenders. All that described below is a generalisation of my own supervision and impressions from a long enough period (in particular some things have been noticed in 07th, some are actual only for 8.01), accordingly, this cannot and is not any definitive true.

1. P without ball (PwoB) vs running P with ball (PWB)

PWB stay. Where will run PwoB? Sure. There, where PWB is staying

Everywhere, where it is not described separately, it is considered, that goal is somewhere at the left-from below).

PWB run. Where will run PwoB? Sure. There, where PWB was few seconds ago.

”it's incorrect!” - you will say! ”PwoB should consider speed and a direction of PWB movement. It would be much better!”
”But that variant is easier”, - I will respond.

And more: PwoB should consider position on the field and at first try to cut PWB a direct way to goal, and then choose a correct position”, - you will add.

” But that variant is easier ”, - I will respond.

2. Defender (D) vs Forward with Ball (F1) and Forward without ball (F2)

F1 is free, D mark F2. D is on last defensive line. What will do D? Sure. Runs to F1.

"it is not correct!” - you will say!. ”Potentially F2 position is more dangerous”, - you will add.
”But that variant is easier”, - I will respond.

3. Defender has dropped out of a line.

Defender has escaped to put pressure or has not returned after corner or has broken or has lost to a football boot or smth else. What will do other defenders? Sure. Nothing.

”It is not correct!” - you will say! ”Other defenders must mark his empty zone”, - you will add.
”But that variant is easier”, - I will respond.

4. Defenders and flanks.

Ball is on flank. How many defenders are going to closing down strikers and wingers? Correctly, only those, who are situated near the ball.

”It is not correct!” - you will say. ”And what about flank pressure?”, - you will add.
”Well, you know. that variant is easier”, - I will respond.

5. two defenders vs one striker
Will defenders co-ordinate their actions? Correctly. No, no, no.

”It is not correct!” - you will say. ”It's NOT so as IRL”, - is will added by you.
”That variant is easier”, - I will respond.
