Here we will be discussing how you can master defending in Rematch, as well as other tricks like managing stamina and intercepting.
While scoring is the essential factor in going the distance and winning the game, another key factor that shouldn’t be overlooked is defending. Strikers may win the game, but defenders and goalkeepers will save it. While goalkeepers have the ability to use their hands and dive to save goals, defenders have to be tactical with their approach to prevent overcrowding on their side. In this article, we will look at the best tips for defending in Rematch.
Defending Tips in Rematch
Standing Tackle
Standing tackle is the safest option to perform while defending. This is an approach you use when you are confident that the player has limited options in terms of passing the ball to teammates. While this approach may not be too effective against more than one opponent, in a 1v1 situation, it’s the best tactic.
To perform this, first, you will have to enter the defense stance. Hold ‘L2’, ‘LT’, or ‘Left Control’ depending on your platform. Once in this stance, your player is more guarded and careful with his approach, taking controlled steps. When you feel your opponent is in range, press ‘Circle’, ‘B’, or ‘E’ to perform a standing tackle. This helps you gain control of the ball.
Slide Tackle
Slide tackles are one of the most sought-after tactics in the game. While not always effective, the success rate is decent. The main advantage is the range you can cover with the slide. While chasing an opponent from behind, the slide tackle helps you close the gap. You can also intercept side dribbles if you’re quick enough. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about fouling your opponents.
To execute this, first, enter a sprint state by holding ‘L1’, ‘LB’, or the ‘Shift’ key. Once near your opponent, hold ‘Circle’, ‘B’, or ‘E’ based on your platform. This will initiate the slide.
Manage Stamina
Stamina is a very important factor in Rematch. It can be tempting to exploit it to catch up with opponents. While that may be fun, you could run out of stamina when you need it the most. The stamina bar depletes quickly and takes time to recharge, so it’s important to manage it wisely.
The best strategy is to stick to a position in the game. Sprinting too frequently between attack and defense will quickly drain your stamina and make your efforts ineffective. Instead, stay in your zone, remain in dribble stance for most of the match, and only sprint when you know it could force your opponent into a hasty decision.
