A question in defending

What is the best way to tackle players that shield the ball from you using their body? Kind of like Ibrahimovic. I am an attacking midfielder but most of the time I track back and defend, I know how to get the ball in many situations except when the player is shielding it from me.

Here is a video to clarify the shielding of the ball:

It's *bleep* annoying, what I do is to pressure them as much as I can, sometimes the pressure makes them leave the ball a bit too open then you jump in.

But i'm a poor mans Super Pippo, even though I pressure the defenders like mad, I rarely have to deal with this.
