In which part of the field did Higuita's sweeper-keeper role take him?

  • Attack

  • Midfield

  • Defensive third

  • Far from the goal

Answer

Higuita's sweeper-keeper role took him far from the goal, enabling him to actively participate in defensive plays and initiate attacks from deep positions. By positioning himself higher up the pitch, he could effectively clear threats, launch counterattacks, and distribute the ball with greater vision and accuracy, revolutionizing the traditional role of a goalkeeper.
