I’d give the 10 a job that keeps them connected without allowing them to solve frustration by coming all the way back.
They can move side to side between the lines, rotate briefly with an 8, or drop a little to create an overload.
The important thing is that somebody still occupies the space that threatens the opposition midfield from behind.
If the 10 drops into the 6’s line and nobody replaces them, the opposition can defend facing forward.
Show the player video of the moments their higher position helps even when they do not receive.
Creative players often judge involvement by touches. Help them see influence differently.
You can also create a rule in training for short periods: if the 10 drops below a certain line, another midfielder must move beyond.
The aim is not to stop them finding the ball.
It is to help them recognise which spaces make their next touch more valuable to the team.
