Positions

Centre-Back

The central defenders. The last line before the goalkeeper. Expected to win headers, make tackles, read the game, and increasingly play out from the back with composure on the ball. A great centre-back partnership is the foundation of any title-winning team. Terry-Carvalho, Vidic-Ferdinand, Van Dijk-Matip.

"The centre-back read it perfectly. Stepped out, won the header, and played it out from the back."
