With this Out-of-Possession role the Covering Centre-Back is asked to adopt a more cautious approach, holding his line and waiting to react to the opposition attacker's movements.
You’ll notice the Covering Centre-Back offers additional protection behind the line and can also support the full-back or wing-back on the same side.
- Holds position to cover defensive partners rather than stepping out.
- More cautious and less exposed than a standard centre-back.
- Provides backup for centre-backs and nearby full-backs or wing-backs.
