MasterTheBasics: Compactness

Defensive Compactness is about minimizing the spaces between your team mates while defending and dictating where the opponent can have and pass the ball.

The central space is the first and fundamental area to be protected.

MasterTheBasics: Center Back

As a center back, when your team is in possession, your first and fundamental role is to provide support in terms of ball circulation.

Don't get carried away and want to become the point of reference in the attack looking for assists and goals. Maintain the structure.

Yes, there might be exceptional circumstances that require compromise, for example, if you're a center back with aerial prowess and you're team is desperately looking for an equaliser in the dying minutes of the game. In this case you might remain upfront as a point of reference.

We saw this in the Europa League quarter final match between Manchester United and Lyon. When Man United were trailing, Harry Maguire literally played as a striker, a target man to be precise, and eventually scored the winning goal.

But generally, your role in possession is to provide support.
