How do I make a player stay higher up the pitch and not track an opposing player back who has the ball? For example: I want a left winger or striker of mine to NOT pursue the opposing team's right fullback ( or whoever else has the ball) into my defensive side of the pitch. The reason being that my defensive midfielders or fullback will make an interception, launch the ball upfield to the winger or striker who has now been left isolated by the opposition's attacking fullback.
This is a simlilar situation to the tactic Brazil used in this World Cup; where Robinho would rarely track opposition players who advanced and would then be left with space when Brazil intercepted the ball. This happened in the Brazil x Chile game when Robinho was able to score after that exact situation.
I have tried to adjust individual settings in the game to reflect this but my players always seem to want to track opposition players back into the defensive half. What do I need to do to get my players to stop pursuing/marking opposition players back into my defensive half?
