M1 carries; L1 starts deep on the far left.

The sweeper stays behind the entire receiver line and does not ask for an early return pass.

Choose a finish, then play or drag. Camera and player size stay fixed.

The sweeper arrives late—but at pace

Train L1’s deep running line first. Add the front passes and final read only after the sweeper consistently stays behind the ball.
