Shifting in football describes the coordinated, horizontal and vertical movement of a team as a block on the pitch to maintain compactness and close down spaces for the opponent.
Why is shifting important?
Collective shifting is crucial for ensuring high defensive stability and offering the opponent little space to develop attacks. By all players moving together towards the ball, the team remains compact as a unit and passing lanes are blocked, making it easier to win the ball or at least prevent dangerous attacks. It is a fundamental aspect of any well-organized defense.
