I used to face players like these when I was gold in 1s as well. Since my aerial defence waa bad I used to steal all the opponents boosts, you can't do air dribble on me when you don't have boost xD.

Now since I'm gotten bit better I wait at the net and I hope I make connection with the ball. Most of the air dribbles at my level(I'm still gold in 1s but high gold III div 3-4) don't have any horizontal deviation so if I align properly and fast aerial, I can defend most of their shots. Plus it would keep me a really good position for a counter attack as people who go for air dribbles land in very bad position and hence recover slower.
