sweeper-keeper
Goalkeeper who roams
A sweeper-keeper is a goalkeeper in football (soccer) who plays an aggressive, expansive style, venturing well outside the penalty area to intercept through balls and act almost as an extra defender.
The term combines sweeper—a defender who roams behind the back line—with keeper.
This style requires strong footwork, reading of the game, and confidence with the ball at one's feet.
The sweeper-keeper rushed out to clear the ball before the striker could reach it.
