Some players are hard to defend in 1vs.1 situations and therefore cause a big danger for your goal. In such cases you can use the Second Man Defense in FIFA 22 to bring in a second player who presses the opponent with the ball. To do this, you have to press R1 / RB when the opponent has the ball and another of your teammates will attack the opponent's player on the ball.

Be careful with the usage

However, you must be extremely careful when using this type of defense. You must not press R1 / RB continuously when the ball is in your opponent's possession, otherwise your players will lose a lot of stamina relatively quickly. In addition, SMD only makes sense if a player is behind or next to the opponent with the ball, otherwise you will tear gaps in the defense if you get the wrong player selected.
