defending while outnumbered

Hello everyone, so i play as a center back in my academy but in matches and practice matches everytime the other teams on the attack i’m usually outnumbered to a 1v2 or a 1v3. The problem is that i don’t know what to do in this situation cuz if i press the player with the ball he’ll just lay it off to the runner but if i jockey and track the runners i’d be giving the player with the ball too much space to shoot. i don’t know what to do.
