Protect The Ball - This move works in a similar way to the one above, in that you’re not immediately trying to advance as soon as you receive a pass. With this one though you’re not going backwards either but just holding your ground and watching the defender before making your next decision.

As the pass comes in hold LT or L2 as soon as you receive it. This will make your player shield the ball from the defender with his body. What you do next depends on what the defending player does. Hopefully he’ll try to move around you to make a tackle, so you just turn into the space he’s created then burst away. If he stands his ground then you can try running towards your own goal to entice him out, or you can pass to a team-mate and take the move elsewhere.

This is another move that gives you a bit more time to make a decision so you’re not always instantly turning left or right, which a defending player can easily read
