Counter defensive tactic

[pcmacdaniel]

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.
