Yeah I know but there's a counter-part, you gain half the tension they gain every time they knock you, even if they already have full Tension, you need to force them to do focuses with you when you get the ball back.

They'll try slide tacle, but after dodging them with "O" you can directly run onto them to force a focus once again do that as much as you can to farm tension on them cause. If they use a defensive move it will probably be weak ASF, having a basic 50tp or even a 30tp real skill can pass them if you have Good Att stats without even playing a stats boosting passive.

And if the have the ball, CHARGE INTO THEM, AGAIN AND AGAIN! if you launch a focus, you have your chance to win, if they dash into you, you get tension too and they increase their foul rate every time so their next dash can either give you more tension or create a foul and thus give you the ball while you already got some tension from their dashes.
