Opposition instructions | Match preparations

Penultimate important pre-match screen allows you to give instructions on particular players of the rival team. The orders are divided into four categories:

• Tight marking;
• Closing down;
• Tackling;
• Show onto foot.

In all of those categories you can give an order that will efficiently reduce capabilities of selected rival player. It's a good idea to force using the weaker leg that is not preferred by selected footballer - only the greatest stars are capable of playing with both legs. Trying to close a footballer on one of the sides might eliminate any threat he might be. Keeping a watch over a specific player can be a good way to eliminate him from receiving passes - and it might frustrate him enough to become more aggressive.

In this section you should listen to advices from backroom - they often show you interesting aspects of some players and they allow you to reduce the threat that some of them might be to your team.
