There is a saying in the world of football: the attack wins the games, but the defense wins the championships.As well as in real football, knowing how to defend in Fifa 22 can make a difference for a season, a WL and much more.That Fifa is unbalanced towards the attack is well known, also because according to EA's philosophy there is no fun in grinding clean sheets and 1-0 victories.Furthermore, in the last chapter of the series the reversals in front are the best way to pierce the opposing defense, therefore a good defense can lead to lightning restarts.For this reason, today we want to explain to you how to defend effectively in FIFA 22.

The best attack is the defense ... no?

Every year, FIFA updates bring more control and immersion than ever.This year in the game, numerous improvements to the AI in attack have been introduced, so it will be necessary to recover the ball as much as possible to defend the advantage or to start quickly.This also and above all depends on the ability of a player to intercept the wandering passages, how quickly he closes on the ball and how likely it is successfully sinking tackles.As already mentioned, an effective defense can also turn into a quick attack.In FIFA 22 take the ball and leave on the counterpart with the opponent in numerical inferiority, gives a huge advantage.In other words, learning to defend in Fifa 22 is considerably more important than the previous chapters of the series.

Question of intuition - FIFA 22: how to defend

Defending in FIFA 22 is reduced, most of the time, to timing and anti -plot on the ball.Be careful though, because relying on the AI in defending for you can lead to disastrous results.To defend in Fifa 22, the best strategy is to put the opponent in difficulty.In particular, face in the correct way by holding down L2/LT it proves to be absolutely fundamental.In this way, it is possible to force a difficult passage or intercept the ball, or move the player out of the trajectory to cover a lack.In addition, a faster defensive player will face more quickly than other slower, as well as anticipating with more readiness (see Kante or CLL tonal, real game changers in the midfield).The body also plays a key role this year, with the most "bulky" players more incisive in the recovery of the ball.

Once positioned well with the player, it is possible to intervene manually (with or/b) to cut the attacker out.Hold or/b has a stronger blow or the extraction of the opponent, so be careful not to commit useless fouls.Also, remember to use the tackle in a slide (square/x) only when you are absolutely sure to enter the ball, or to spend the tactical foul (paying attention not to end up in the shower before time).

Not just tackle - FIFA 22: how to defend

Another fundamental Pasasggio to learn is to master the change of player to defend intelligently.The manual gearbox of the players is increasingly effective than the pressure of R1/RB, preventing your defense from being disrupted.To manually change the players, use the right analogue lever towards the player you want to select.In addition, in FIFA 22, pressing the right lever while defending the ICON Switching function is activated.Four defenders have a specific direction above their head, allowing you to slide the right lever in the direction of the defender you want to select.This mode of Switch, however, is extremely complex and difficult to masterate so we advise you to make a lot of practice with the CPU before going in the competitive.

Pull in an AI player with doubling (holding R1/RB), to press the opponent while trying to close the passage lanes, is another effective way to stop action.In FIFA 22, teammates during the doubling have a resistance bar, so they cannot contain forever.This depends on the players with a high defensive work, the higher the work, the more effective they are in automatic interventions.
