Definitions
A central defender to whom no forward is assigned for marking, forming the last line of defence and often initiating the offensive play.
Word origin
From Italian libero (literally “free one”). So called because he has no direct opponent to mark and is therefore free to join in the offensive. The volleyball use is younger.
Used in a sentence
“Nicknamed “Der Kaiser”, Beckenbauer was as elegant as he was dominant, and such was his assurance in possession that he came to master the modern sweeper role, or libero. More so, he is credited with creating it.”
