Defending in PES 2019 is really underpowered. Or rather, tackling is.

I've now played 100+ matches and I've been paying attention to the tackle and interception numbers after my matches - I almost always have double the interceptions to my tackle numbers and that's backwards. Average numbers in a top level match in the real world usually have tackles about 50% higher than interceptions.

So I think you can defend well enough in PES but something isn't right - it's too difficult to close space on the CPU, which is not only why tackles are so low but it's also why so many CPU teams can pass the ball so well in the final third, because of the space. And because the passing game is over-emphasized in PES, that's why interceptions tend to be high.

I can still defend effectively, especially because the CPU attacking AI is so poor, but something is certainly out of whack when it comes to defending.
