In some countries, the sweeper (free back or libero) is required to provide cover across the whole back line behind any defender. 7, record 2, English, - libero
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
His position was a sweeper, one of the last resort defenders. But he was never satisfied in defending the team, and often participated in the attack whenever the chance arrived. That is why he was often called an attacking sweeper, libero, or free back. Even now, he is considered to be a model of the attacking sweeper. Beckenbauer is a perfect libero. 8, record 2, English, - libero

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
balayeur; couvreur; bétonneur; verrouilleur : À quelques distinctions près, ces termes sont synonymes. On dit «balayeur» d'un défenseur qui ne laisse rien passer. Le «couvreur» conjugue son action avec l'autre arrière central, le «stoppeur»; le stoppeur marque l'avant de pointe adverse et le couvreur se place en couverture de son arrière engagé dans la reconquête du ballon. Dans les formations dites «verrou» et «béton», les joueurs placés en retrait de la défense, en couverture des arrières, sont le «verrouilleur» et le «bétonneur»; on dit «verrouilleur» de celui qui relance le jeu et «bétonneur» de celui qui reste en permanence en retrait de la défense. 11, record 2, French, - lib%C3%A9ro
