well.. try short pass too
and see what work better normal/att/def mentality
my problem is he will have 4 players facing 5 in ur backline .. it gonna be risky but imo you have no other choice bcz he choosed to attack you, as long as u close his attacks , u can epxloit his weakeness in mid and less player in mid to dominate the match , short pass thus ideal to build better attack
