At first glance, it might seem that White defends against an illusory threat (that of the advance of the enemy b-pawn) and in doing so just weakens the b4-square. However, the whole plan is much deeper than that, anticipating the long term evolution of the position. By over-defending the e5-pawn, Black threatened to exchange the active white bishop by means of ...?a5. One simple solution in the spirit of the d3-lines of the Ruy Lopez would be to play 7.c3 and retreat the bishop to c2 (via b5-a4, if attacked).
