An alternative would be not to stay tight and not try to keep up with them...Mark the spaces instead of the player, maybe drop back a bit deeper when defending and try to anticipate their next move, and try to block off any potential passes. Make them work hard for their passes and maybe force them into making mistakes by covering the routes for their next pass.

Get your team to delay, dictate and deny space.(Blocking is another name for it). Also if they shadow and stay very tight on their player should help.
