🚀EA PLEASE ADD THIS DEFENDING MECHANIC — VAN DIJK STYLE JOCKEY👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We need a **manual retreating jockey** where defenders can move backward/side-on toward their own goal while still watching the attacker — exactly like Van Dijk does in real life.

 

The defender should be able to:

 

* protect the space behind him

* stay balanced while retreating

* track the attacker without fully turning around

* manually step in for an interception or tackle

 

This would make **1v1 defending much more realistic and skill-based**, especially now that FC 27 is focused more on manual defending.

 

It could even be a new PlayStyle: **Retreat Jockey+ / Recovery Jockey+**

 

Please consider adding this — it would make elite CBs feel much more unique and realistic.

    That's a great idea! 👍

    I hope EA implements it quickly.
