Of course, if your guys arenīt any good at closing down and the other team very good at passing (decicion making as well) than look out and beware.
Basically do not try this when you the clear inferior team ...
The other way (with a weaker team) might be to play your defensive line very deep and put your "width" team instruction towards "narrow" , forcing the other team to cross the ball in high from the outside instead of short passing through the middle.
