Ideally you play with a 2-1-1 or 1-2-1 formation.
If you‘re the sole defender the only thing you have to do is to mark the offensive player and aggresively guard him. As long as you can push the attacker outside you can wait and block his shooting lane. If hes pulling inside you have to run backwards to close the angle. He then either has to stop or pass outside. The most lethal offensive play is a simple run through the middle followed by a ping pong pass of a stationary attacker. This should ususally create enough space to shoot. If you‘re in midfield you have to cover the outside lines when you fall back as those are being used for runs into space. The attacker should always cover the middle and close the space between the lines to make it difficult to move inside without contest. If youre the keeper you have to try to create long balls into space for your attacker if he can win one on ones. If your 9 is marked give the ball to your 10 to bring it up deep and create chances. If you‘re the 10 speed up and slow down your pace to push into the defensive line and pull as many defenders as possible. That will create passing lanes to outside players who can shoot freely on goal.
