Thanks for your advices - turn out we did not have time/did not care to change anything. So kept the tactics/orders I showed above. I agree that it it very dangerous to tic in the counter attack box when playing really good opponents.

Lost 0-3, and opponent did not watch the game.

The return leg now gives room for experiments. Thinking of something like man-on-man with easy tackling, and hard attacking on left side, otherwise keep my set up. I hope to outsmart the game engine, if they believe I will attack from left side, maybe Marinho Pereira on the right side will be un-marked and score a goal
