How to play defense

[Belleh]

I just started playing the game and I noticed that every time I have to defend my players leave always the opposite team alone or let them catch the ball super easily and that does not happen when I attack. Literally every player is covered by one of them. REally frustrating and dont understand why the AI that controls my players in defense doesnt block/cover as good as when I attack. what am I doing wrong?
