@the_jwl: Ball-Playing Centre-Back Tips 1️⃣ Shift Wide from Central – Don’t stay central when the keeper has it. Move wide and open your body to receive and play forward. 2️⃣ Receive on the Back Foot – Open up, check your shoulder, and take it with the foot furthest from the ball to play forward with ease. 3️⃣ Master Aerial Control – Work on bringing the ball down quickly with your foot or chest when long balls come in. 4️⃣ Work on Long & Short Passing – Be comfortable pinging passes over defenders and playing grass-cutters into feet. #CentreBackTips #BallPlayingDefender #FootballIQ #DefendingSkills #PassingMastery
