Defense:

Your next opponent will be a bit stronger than the previous ones. This will be a good opportunity to try some defensive strategies. You can steal the ball from your opponent either by tackling him or by simply moving your player close to the opponent that has the ball. Tacklings will sometimes result in fouls, but a well-timed tackling is the most effective way of stealing the ball. 

Crossing / Heading: 

To play a crossing pass, make your player move straight left or right and play a high pass. 
While the ball is in the air, you can start a heading by pressing fire short. This will result in a heading if the ball is in the air or in a tackling if it is on the ground.

Additional Hints:

Once you are able to score against a team like your next opponent, you are ready to enter one of the competitions. At first, you will probably want to select one of the stronger teams of the competition. The teams of each competition are ordered by strength, so you can be sure to play with the strongest team if you choose the one that ist listed first.
