Defending
Hold the Line or Drop?
Centre-back organising the back line
The opposition has the ball 35 yards out and their playmaker looks up to slide a through ball. Their striker is on the shoulder of your defensive line. Your back four is relatively high. You can step up together to play the striker offside, or drop to stay goal-side and deny the space in behind. Your fellow centre-back is looking to you to make the call.
