When playing online it depends who I have as defender in a game against another team full of human players.
My fav defender is Nesta in the game and real life but what I try to do is if I have someone like Ronaldo running towards me I'll jockey backwards and if need be use the sprint button but I'll jockey along and view the other players around me to see where they are and if I see a player is moving into position to receive a pass I'll cut it off or If I have help near me I'll go ahead and move in and go for the tackle.
Key thing is don't always rush in towards the guy with the ball. All it takes is that and if you mess up that decision could cost a goal. You always want to keep the ball in front of you, look at the passing lanes and players around you and stay in front of the guy and at the right moment then close down on him.
All of that applies to real life soccer as well.
