Who is a "sweeper"?
A sweeper is a player in sports like soccer or field hockey who plays behind the main defenders and is responsible for cleaning up any threats from the opposing team. They are the last line of defense and often help clear the ball away from their goal area. The sweeper’s job is to read the game, intercept passes, and stop attackers before they get a chance to score. They are quick, alert, and play a key role in supporting the defense by covering any gaps left by other players.
Example
The sweeper intercepted the through ball before it reached the striker.
The team relies on their sweeper to organize the defense and prevent counterattacks.
