Allow me to translate.

All 3 points, both feet and the ball must be in the FC before FC status is achieved. If he steps back into the BC or bounces the ball in the BC after all 3 points are in the FC, it's a violation.

When a player is holding the ball, we're only concerned with the feet. The division line "plane" is not an issue.
