Opposing players a mix between Vidic, Ronaldo and Usain Bolt?

Okey, I have to say the manager-part of this game is brilliant! The player-mode... ehh, not so much...
Anyway, even though it's a great game, I have just one question; who the hell are these opposing players? It seems to me that every team consists of 11 Puyols, 11 Ronaldos and, for some reason, 11 Usain Bolts. I can barely get a touch on the ball before every single opposing player has positioned himself 30 meters form his own goal, completely shutting up shop. This is of course mindboggingly hard to break down. Howevery, in the same moment they win the ball form me, their entire team goes barreling up the pitch. Suddenly I am faced with having to defend against 8-10 players, all pushing my own defence so far back they end up outside the stadium.
The biggest problem with this is that they can do this all game and not even break a sweat. I want to know, who are they? And were can I sign them from?! Because, dammit, I've tried, but in the minute they get on a different jersey, suddenly they're about as useless as an 80-year old geriatric man in a wheelchair! Without wheels!
But, good game, cuddos EA. Already looking forward to FIFA 14 (seriously, I'm not kidding).|||Gotta agree.....this is the main thing that is making FIFA 11 boring for me.
Almost impossible to break them down.....yet very hard to get the ball off of them.
It's like a mix between Inter and Barcelona......the most boring imaginable opponent.|||It is funny how even the worst teams on the game have players in every position that can push you off the ball and outpace you even when they are 6foot7|||True
