3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
A defensive block shifts to the ball side, so the far side is structurally free. One accurate switch flips the situation. Teams with CBs and midfielders who can spray it have far more attacking options.
On the call you'll hear“A big switch of play! The far side is completely free!”
