How to play

Defense: Main focus on defense is also your wingers come back as supportive defenders. Use the midfield and also striker line (if they are also coming back) to defend first before risking going out with your defenders.

Offense: Try to build up your game from the wings and get the ball step by step towards the center. Your need to feed your wingers' runs and use the power of through balls to get yourself free.
