Hi all, it's JFootballTV. Today's video is on center back, especially on defensive timing and positioning.

There are a lot of tips on different situations, so please watch till the end. Tips on the center back (CB)

Starts now! CBs don't need to make many touches, so give the ball to the side or to the midfielder quickly. (Play easy)

Here, switch! [Defense Timing (Intercept)] Tips on intercepts. You have to be sure of it.

When you're sure that you can intercept it, read the play (predict), then intercept. Get in the box!

Tips on timing the intercept: Make a prediction based on the play and where the opponent is looking. Move when the opponent makes a move.

You need to be able to read the play. Bad example: Made a wrong prediction. Um's misprediction led to a dangerous situation.

One misprediction could have led to conceding a goal. It's better to just wait rather than making a misprediction.

That's why you make an intercept only when you are sure you can intercept! Successful intercepts can bring great chances for the team.

[Defense Timing (Delay)] When in a 1 on 1 defensive situation, [Defense Timing (Delay)], don't dive in but wait.

When the ball carrier dribbles, you only try to not let him shoot. [Defense Timing (Press)] When pressing tight,

press when the opponent is not facing you or when there's some distance between the ball and the opponent.

Defense: Press when the opponent makes a long touch! Wait. Tackle as the opponent loses his balance.

Press tight so the opponent can't turn. Make him play back and return to your position. Positioning:

The opponent is making a run, so I run. When the opponent tries to make a run, you should make a run before he does.

Make a run faster and occupy the space! Opponent kicking: When he's about to kick, you run back.

Opponent is about to kick a long ball! Mine! Move earlier and be ready to cover the open space.

[Positioning (Cover)]
Always be ready to cover when the ball goes in the air. [Positioning (Defense Line Control)]
Move the line up when clearing the ball.

CBs need to be the leader and control the defensive line. Talk a lot and tell other defenders to stay on the same line.

Get in line. Control the gap between midfielders and forwards. When the gap is too big, it's harder to press.

When the defensive line is up to a certain point, it's easier to press. Fabio Cannavaro, despite his short height as a center back,
but with his skills in defensive timing and positioning

based on his speed, became the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or. Next Video Preview
