With this Out-of-Possession role the Stopping Wide 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 Wide Centre-Back has even greater freedom to leave the defensive line, pressing higher and wider than a traditional stopper, specially in half-spaces.

 

  • Steps out aggressively to press or intercept in wide central areas.
  • Has more freedom to leave the defensive line than in a back four.
  • Often presses AMCL/AMCR players on their side when unmarked.
