This is the one rule in sports that I just don’t understand. I feel like I recognize it when I see it while watching live but I can’t define the rule for the life of me. Explain it like I’m 5.

An attacking player cannot be between the last defender and the goalkeeper at the moment a pass to him is made. This stops attacking players always being near the goal. They have to get past at least one defender before receiving the ball.
