Is it all about playing wide in football?

[KO]

Putting an overload on the fullbacks so that the centerbacks are isolated. Having them to hoof up the ball to the field.

Once theyve done that the centerbacks already covered up the ball.

 

I guess thats the way you distrup the play of the opposite 'managers'tactics.

 

The question is: how do you keep up with the ball. Is it all about the players. Do they decide? Or is it up to the manager each player is managed (like guardiola,klopp,etc)

Eg micromanaging each player? Like how guardiola did with sterling

Also whats the function of the playmaker/no 10. I find it a useful position?Sadly theyre arent a lot of no10 anymore in football. Most are converted or do play other roles. Is James Rodriguez useful (altough hes very slow)? Neymar could be another one? Mbappé?

Your questions are too general to be answered properly. Plus without any context, because you are looking at tactical elements in isolation (whereas they actually work in conjunction). 

If you have a certain tactic in mind, post a screenshot of that tactic here and then we can discuss whether it makes sense or not and how potentially it could be improved. 

Everything else would be just pure speculation.
