Overlapping is a tactical attacking principle in football where a player without the ball runs into open space behind a teammate who has possession, to create a passing option or an overload situation.
Why is Overlapping important?
Overlapping is an effective way to get the opposing defense moving and open up passing options in dangerous zones. It's often used by full-backs or wingers to exploit the width of the pitch and create an overload by stacking one side. It forces the opponent to abandon their defensive shape and creates space that can be used for further attacks.
