Counter defensive tactic

I like this orders but I prefer to use mix and not short passing.
I 'm afraid that short passing reduce the chance of counter attacks - which I want to have as advantage.

Thanks Nik, I prefer mixing my passes, instead of going "short" in most cases as well.

In case of confusion with this system, I want to emphasize I have counter-attacks turned off. My opponent was sitting low, and playing with 5 defenders + a dmc, if I turned counters "ON" the counter-attack would have been stopped before it even started. My best play would have been to just sit back defensively, control possession with a short passing game and break up her counters. This was the mistake I made in the first leg, and ended up leaking the equalizer at 83' minute. I assumed opponent would go on the attack to try for the equalizer, but she just waited for me to make a mistake and capitalized.

use low press if you use 4 defenders with DMC

use high press if you got many midfielder/attacker than defender

Can you explain this?

Thanks

well, sometimes you must choose the orders depending if oppo is present
(that's why I don't like the auto-support in asso games 2nd round )

Agreed on both points. Especially that leg 2 auto support.

I feel safer taking more risk tactically if the opponent is not present.

well, high press is full pitch pressing,

and we are talking about countering defensive formation,

when he say defensive, i bet the opponent got many defenders at their own half,

if you got less forward players to do full pitch pressing, it will be just a waste and drain out your player with nothing
