Master CENTER BACK Positioning in Just 10 Minutes!

[@footballfundamental]

What do you STRUGGLE with as a CENTERBACK? Write down below 👇👇

[@santoshrawat386]

I want to be strong in Areial duals

[@blaklytstudios]

As a center back, that temptation of covering for your L/RB is something you need to resist. Always protect the middle.

[@footballfundamental]

@@blaklytstudios 100% agreed. The ones win against that temptation ends up being a good CB.

[@moonbuilder1691]

How to defend against really fast players, that are also technical? More distance between them, try to pressure them more? Or should we try get close to them, and intercept the ball before they receive it? Because from personal experience, when I defend them with the ball, it's really hard to tackle or stop them. It's always a step away.

Personally What Has Made Me A Good Center Back My Anticipation. My Eyes Stick On The Person Who Will Make The Final Pass. Where His Go Mostly Is Where He Will Pass And I Try To Get To That Space Quicker Than The Forwards

[@footballfundamental]

Anticipation and patience are significantly important attributes to a successful CB!

[@FADE_JET]

What made me a cb is that i am a large guy i am as fast as a winger (i used to be one) i don't have a week foot and i don't really mind a red if we win😊

[@DeeEdward-u4w]

Thank you coach for your defending tips, I am a defender more of 5&6 but I need more knowledge on how to keep offside on the pitch and I want my game to be more pro!

[@footballfundamental]

No problem I am glad you enjoy my channel! Offside line is critical certainly but also depends how your coach wants you to shape up for the offside line. I highly recommend you to watch some of my attacker or winger videos because in my opinion its crucial to learn how wingers or attackers think because then you can do the completely opposite and catch them off guard.

[@lampardjnr3652]

My match will start in few minutes from now i hope to have a good game after watching this

[@footballfundamental]

Perfect!! Good luck 💪

[@NT-qf1uu]

When playing a back flat four usually there is two central defenders for one striker (#9). How do you decide who will mark the striker and when do you switch when he comes into or leaves your zone?

[@footballfundamental]

Nothing set in stone so you would have to communicate very well most likely. But It really depend whose side the striker coming to! Preferably I would want my CDM to deal with the striker if possible, If you have one so you mainly focus on your sweeping duty but again Its your job as a CB to talk to your CDM. If they skip pass your CDM it would be whoever is the nearest.

[@swarnashlokechakraborty5392]

I play Cb and I'm the fastest of both the sides combined. I try to press but with patience . It helps me win most of the duels and win the ball back. However my only weakness is I fumble a lil under pressure while I'm playing a crucial pass or dribbling to move up ahead. Im outgrowing it gradually though. Any tips on that would be helpful. Thanks!

[@footballfundamental]

Fumbling under pressure is quite normal and only can be improved by playing more and more games! So basically experience but you can actually play simpler, take less risks and let your midfielder develop the game. Get used to this first and then more and more you play, rest will follow. So as a defender, dont put too much pressure on yourself for now.

[@kutumontana]

I am like not really fast but not slow maybe not fastest but pretty fast and sttrong too but my problem is confidence i have ball control and everthing but i fear taking ball

[@footballfundamental]

Honestly, As a center back too much confidence with the ball is not a good thing. So little bit of a fear would actually force you not to take too many risks as a center back. Too much confidence can damage you especially as a center back. So the best way to deal with this is to play as simple as possible. Avoid horizontal passes and aim for diagonal passes. Play many games to improve your confidence under pressure.As a center back, If you are receiving the ball too close to the opposition, you are doing something wrong so drop deeper and aim to receive the ball as far away as possible from the opposition so you are under lesser pressure.

[@kermetcondation9254]

How should I defend through balls or long passes?

[@footballfundamental]

Covering the spaces and gaps, ideally it is more important if you are always where you are supposed to be as a CB, you could either play the one goes up for a header or drop in behind like a sweeper. 2 CBs should never be flat.

[@eliaskichenje9303]

Is there a special weight or height for a centre back

[@footballfundamental]

Obviously you can’t be super short but I would say anything from 178cm to 195cm is ideal and weight is I think skinnier the better since being light will give you speed.

[@MortezaWakilzadeh]

How do I defend when I’m the last defender and the opposition has an partner to pass to, because when I try to block him from passing to his teammate I give him space to go past me if not he’s going to pass to his partner

Cover the most important path which is your net, there is not much you can do but be patience and hold back slightly and try to stall them.

I still struggle with fast players. I always keep a good amount of space but they always find a way to go past me.

[@footballfundamental]

Thats a tough situation, you gotta focus on stalling them by giving them a bit more space but by improving your reaction time to turn, you would be better.

[@cbxjr]

Also if you are having trouble with a specific player like the one you mentioned dont be ashamed to tell your partner that you need to be covered in that case if hes so quick to cut through you all you need to do is cover him in ❤

[@Scaryyvalorant]

I just get to nervous when someone pass a ball to me in defence because i think what i want to do and others are screaming pas s to me pass to mee 😢

Obviously you can’t pass it to everyone! So you need to know the right player to pass to most likely to the player who has the most space

[@coreymanning431]

I disagree about the qualities you said at the beginning. Center backs should be the most intelligent and technical players on the field. Build up is essential. They should be quick as well to come space. My. 2 cents

[@footballfundamental]

They definitely are the leaders and dictates the game from the backline when I say slow not really slow but mostly slower compared to attackers. Its physically impossible for them to be faster than shorter players in a short distance, long distance yes for sure. But football is changing. They are now more agile and much faster
