In Possession
In this section, we will discuss Bell’s ability in possession when he has possession of the ball and how he contributes to his teams tactics. Playing as a single pivot in their 4-3-3 structure his main job on the ball is to provide stability and balance for his team when they are in the possession and is a key cog for them in moving the ball to the final third. He drops into the defence and helps his team to create a numerical advantage against the opposition’s front line. This can be seen in the example below where he drops in between the two centre-backs to provide stability.
Let’s look into his ability in possession when he has the ball and when he does not have it but his team has the possession.
