Wing-backs are versatile wide players who handle both defensive and offensive duties on their side of the pitch in a back three or back five, covering the entire sideline.
Why are wing-backs important?
Their role is crucial for balancing defense and offense. They allow teams playing with a back three to cover the width of the pitch defensively while also creating danger on the wings in attack. This demands peak physical fitness and a keen tactical understanding, as they constantly shuttle between defensive and attacking thirds.
