What Happened to Sweepers in Football?

[@danpreston564]

I used to play as a sweeper. I told people it was because I read the game well and was good on the ball, so I could bring it out from defence. The reality was that I was too lazy to push up with a defensive line and too ill disciplined to man mark.

I'd like to see a video about the stopper position, another defunct position from a bygone era that I used to play. It would be pretty similar to a CDM, but not exactly the same. Maybe it wasn't that common but my high school team used what would be considered today some strange tactics. It was a 3-1-3-3 formation with the stopper set between the defence and midfield, and our number 8 was called a "rover" and functioned similarly to a false-9.

[@joachimschmidt7662]

We used it in youth as an aggressive CB coming into the midfield consistently late, to keep opponents in two minds about playing a big man/#10 at any given moment. Muscle out the 10, they mix it up, stopper changes focus from pressing the player with the ball, to cutting off the knockdowns/thru runnning midfielders.

[@aaronngui7938]

I started as a sweeper due to my relative size, but gave the ball away too quickly in dangerous areas. Eventually I played as striker so even if I lost the ball, it was lost in the opponent’s half or near the opposition’s goal. Those were good times.

[@kelvinsudirman4072]

I'd like a further explanation of LaVolpe exit. I mean, I already know what it means and has watched lots of defensive midfielders do that. It's however the first time I heard that it's called LaVolpe exit and I want to hear the more historical side of that tactic.

He is more famous in mexico having managed a few Mexican teams where he was kind of revolutionary with his tactics and playing style. He managed mexico at the 2006 world cup and was praised by his style of play even guardiola talked about him in spain and praised him and mexico during the 2006 world cup.

[@michiadams]

How did Neuer not get a mention in here 🤯

[@PassivesAbseits]

Not even a Munich Fan... but when you mention "the best Goalkeepers", you got to start with Neuer. He put the playmaking keeper on a new level.

[@ItsMeHammie]

I played sweeper for school and college. Taught me how to read the game extremely well, and combined with my speed we rarely got scored on from counter attacks.

[@eliad6543]

Nice! :) people tend to think of the sweepers (and center-backs in general) as generally big physical players, and while it's obviously better to have both, speed is very important given the amount of freedom you get in that position. Gotta use that freedom well ;)

[@hugosophy]

Same here. I was known in the newspapers a the second keeper who kept the ball off the goal line when the keeper was beaten. Must’ve won many of 1-0 games which should’ve been 9-0 losses. If you learn to play sweeper you learn how to play the whole field.

[@CJ_Yo_]

The animation in this video is top notch. Great video and doesn't focus on just the offside rule or player development.

[@atharvakelkar]

A lot of modern 3-man defenses play the traditional sweeper, with players who excel in carrying the ball out but might be caught defensively. A perfect example of this was David Luiz in Conte's 3-4-3 at Chelsea - he was always deeper than the other 2 defenders and distributed the ball brilliantly. Even under Tuchel, Thiago Silva plays almost as a sweeper. This helps highlight his strengths (reading of the game, distribution) while covering for his slight weaknesses (reduced pace due to age). Also, in some back 4s, a midfielder drops in deep to split the defense (like a pseudo-sweeper) and move the ball forward (Xabi Alonso from Bayern is the first example that comes to mind).

[@ashtonalmond9024]

Great shout

[@haveaaccount]

Thanks Tifo for the info. Didn't realize I was playing a sweeper in my university, but back then our back three was compact because of the idea that we do not want to concede too many easy chances. And it kinda help, from shipping 8 in 3 games to 5 in the following 5 games.

Loved watching Franck Sauzee as he moved back to a sweeper role in his later years at Hibs. He'd also come out with the ball and spray juicy passes.

[@matthewreid2107]

Sauzee, what a player! Incredible to think Eck managed to sign him and Latapy when Hibs were a second-tier side; they were far superior to most Premier League players.

[@cheviidevii]

Because sweepers no longer exist forwards score goals easier now. All they need is to beat one of the CB's unless being double marked by both CB's which is highly unlikely. When I use to play sweeper our team didn't need to use a DMF or holding midfielder because we were immune to counter attacks. Because of my good long passing, I had more time on the ball and my team could safely short pass the ball out of our defense since most teams do not use 2 center-forwards.

[@coachhbosoccer]

This is a worthy discussion because for every Ederson out there there are more than 20 goalkeepers that cannot use their feet to pass the ball

[@KenAugustino]

Very very good piece. Well written. Well done Alex!

[@v.slavov]

In Managers games whenever I get a fast but short defender through my youth system I play him as a wide libero/stopper to reduce the chance that he will have to challenge in the air. In the end half the turn overs in my third come from that Defender's freedom to close down the enemy flank thats trying to overload.

[@tatweilam7853]

It's surprise that many not knowing Baresi is one of the best sweeper of all time

[@HammadFitness1]

Another thing you could mention is that today's forwards/Strikers can dribble past defenders, have pace and can shoot from distance. Like Kane, Benzema, Lewandoski, Suarez, Ronaldo, Zapata, L.Martinez, Aubameyang etc. They're not target men that can be marked 1v1. It's better to use offside trap against these guys rather than leave a sweeper to cover things Plus, these strikers drop deep regularly to assist buildup play ( if you deploy a sweeper) then opposite will have numerical advantage, that is useful to move the ball forward

[@doc-t-8648]

I graduated high school in 2010 and we played a 4-4-2 with 2 outside fullbacks and a sweeper+stopper, 2 Central midfielders, 2 wingers, 2 forwards. It was a weird system because it wasnt a flat back 4 but our sweeper was extremely fast so it worked out for us. We worked with the players we had.

[@goktugcan5204]

Sweepers can actually still be used in modern football, but no one wants to take risks. Remember, no position dies in football, you just need to know how to use it.

[@jaydencoles1789]

I was a defensive sweeper but no teams I join today play for use it. I'm in the weird position now that I play a CB role trying to master the art of marking and offside traps instead of charging an opponent and smashing them In a slide tackle. I miss my old team who used a sweeper😥

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

I like that 3-5-2 into 4-4-2 with the pendulum of the wide midfielders into defence. It's vaguely like how rugby defences use a pendulum of their back 3 with the wingers going between dropping back and being further forward in the line

[@thelinedrive]

Why not just run a front sweeper in 4-1-3-2 to eliminate space between the center backs and keep them from the goal keeper. It even allows for a complete to high pressing formations as it allows for the two full backs to press the attack with the sweeper acting as a point formation for the two striker wings and attacking midfielder. Fundamentally the sweeper has a place in modern football, we just need to rethink who he’s sweeping for, instead of the goal keeper have the sweeper act as an advance pressing defenders that sweeps for the backline, either by dispossessing the attacking player or pressuring them into one of the four backline players for a double team or in between the space that is collapsing on the attacker being pressured. Making any clean shot on goal near impossible. Additionally this frees up the center backs to help defend the wings with the full backs by having the sweeper slot into the center back’s abandoned position keeping the backline formation in tact while pressing the attacking player so to limit vulnerability to crosses.

Every role shifts eventually. We can see it at every role, especially in last 15-20 years. Look at CBs (or defenders) in general - at EURO 2006 even TOP teams were quite narrow (level of the box) in posession (or without), with 1 or both fullback usually playing quite close to them as well. Now you can see TOP teams having both CBs pushing wide, when in posession, CM/DM dropping in between them (even deeper than CBs are) and fullback going high on the pitch replacing wingers, who are much more narrow. This is as typical now as "narrow defence" was 15 years ago. and this changes every single role on the field - you dont need typical destructive DM anymore, this disappeared from the game almost completely (especially for stronger sides), you need ball-playing midfielder, especially as strong, progressive team, who is to dominate posession. You dont need wingers, who is strong in crosses, because this is now fullbacks/wingbacks responsibility.
