[sSn] Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 As the title mentions, should a CB learn to stop play? I read somewhere that a CB should be encouraged to learn stops play. Rafael Marquez of Barcelona has that PPM for a CB. So i was looking for some feedback on it. Any suggestions or opinions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Marquez is more of a old fashioned centrehalf rather than a centreback. That's why he has that PPM. Personally I think it's dangerous for a defender to stop play as he will be dictating the tempo of the game then. I prefer someone more advanced.

Bruce Higham Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If you want to play from the back I don't see why not, although I don't really want my lumbering oak tree to stop play when he has two forwards haring towards him, so decisions and concentration would be a must. If you are playing with a high d-line it could be useful, like a libero. Btw, is it incompatible for a player to get forwards (or whatever the ppm is) and stops play? In my mind it wouldn't be, a player can get forwards without the ball, and then dictate the tempo, but maybe I'm dreaming... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
