A deep run is an offensive movement by a player without the ball, directly towards the opponent's goal behind the opponent's defensive line. The aim is to gain space, destabilize the defense, and create an option for a through ball.
Why are deep runs important?
Deep runs are a fundamental element in modern attacking play, as they are crucial in overcoming the opposing defense and creating scoring chances. They force defenders to leave their positions or change their orientation, creating gaps that can be used by other players or for a through ball. A well-timed deep run can break open a compact defense and pave the way to goal.
