How to slide Tackle in FIFA 09 soccer for XBOX 360

Slide Tackle in FIFA 09 soccer for XBOX 360.

A very dynamic aspect to defending that can either send you to the showers early or put you on a highlight reel.The two keys you need to remember with slide tackles are to make sure you do not attempt it from behind and make sure you touch the ball as much as possible. If you get the player and the ball, you will more than likely get a yellow card. If you miss the ball and just get the player, we hope you enjoyed your game, because your day is done!

Try to watch the player you are coming in to attack and time it so the ball is out in front of him on a sprint as much as possible. Try to avoid a slide tackle on a player in a jog or moving slowly, as it will be seen as aggressive by the referee and can very quickly get you a card. However, when performed correctly and cleanly, it can win you the ball, stop the attacker, and just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside as you see your player sprints away in possession.
