"Third man is impossible to defend" - Pep Guardiola
Pass and move is the fabric of the game when in possession, that is how fluid progression is achieved. To find space, create space or provide support players must constantly be on the move: dropping, moving between the lines, rotating, interchange positions, running in behind, making overlapping runs, making diagonal inside runs, and providing a back pass option.
Third man is an unmarked player in a 3v2 situation, it gives him time to turn towards the goal and either become a “free man” himself (player who has space and time to progress further up the pitch) or can find a “free man” with a pass. Simple but extremely effective way to create numerical superiority, crucial when building a fluid attacking team.
