With this Out-of-Possession role the Stopping Centre-Back is asked to step out from his position in order to hassle and engage opposition attackers, in an attempt to cut out attacks at source.
You’ll notice the Stopping Centre-Back is more likely to press a forward dropping deep. In a back 3 can be used only with the central CB.

- Steps out from the line to press or intercept.
- More aggressive than a standard or covering centre-back.
- Works best in the middle of a back three for added protection.
