They consider: • What are the out of possession ‘principles of play’ and how do these relate to the central defender. • The position-specific role requirements of central defenders across all thirds of the pitch. • Different defenders player development journey's and how these might allow us to prepare players of the future. • Implications for coaching and key considerations for coaches in how they can best prepare the central defender of the future.
