Centre-back has the ball in the middle third: where is he, and does he get it?
Between the lines: found, or not found
"When the centre-backs have the ball in the middle third, how many times was he played to while he was between the lines, and how many times did they not find him while he was available?"
Where he stands when he is between the lines
Every moment a centre-back played a settled pass from the middle third while he stood between the opponent's midfield and defensive lines. Free = no opponent within 3 m and a clear passing lane from the centre-back.
Found or not, when he is free

Against the opponent's block
What he does once he receives it there
"Once he received this ball between the lines, what did he do with the possession, and to whom?"
From the reception to his first action, and to whom
His passes after receiving between the lines
Arrow from where he released the ball to where it arrived; marker = where he received it. Receptions in front of the opponent's midfield line are faded so the rarer ones stand out.
