Section 392 Set-piece attack

Happy times are always short-lived, and after a short week's break, Tottenham are back in action. Tottenham faced Hull City against Hull City, where Edinson Cavani scored the first goal and then scored the second goal with a successful header from a corner.

After scoring two goals, Tottenham had a not-so-glaring scene: Suarez tried to fall in exchange for a penalty after breaking through again, but was blown by the referee as a fake fall and received his first red card in the Premier League.

What's even more painful is that, according to the post-match video, it was a proper fake fall.

As the current top scorer list this season, the practice of faking a fall to cheat a penalty also made the Premier League target him for a while. Several goalscorers in the Premier League in the past two years have some minor problems with fake falls, so the accusation is not particularly serious, but Suarez still suffered his first time in the Premier League.

However, Tottenham still won the game, and although Suarez's fake fall was a bit of a joke, Tottenham showed a happy sparkle in other aspects.

First of all, it was in this game that Edinson Cavani scored a goal.

It was Edinson Cavani's second goal of the season. Compared to his partner Suarez, Cavani, who is also worth a lot of money, has a worrying goalscoring efficiency. It cost the team a lot of money, but only scored two goals in eight games, which is not very efficient. When Coach Li Bin was interviewed, he once said that Cavani has the ability to become the first striker in the Premier League, but what we have to tell him is that if he continues to play like this, let alone Torres, it will be difficult for him to score goals with Drogbabi. ”

Cavani has had a lot of runs this season because of the tactical need to constantly drop back, pull sides, and have fewer opportunities to shoot. Although Cavani has the ability to shoot from a distance at the edge of the penalty area, and the range is quite good, however, no matter how far away, it is an unchanging truth that the difficulty of shooting will increase. Since scoring in the second round, he has not scored for Tottenham again, he has a value not much worse than Suarez, he has not scored, no one else has said anything, and it is difficult for him to accept it.

Moreover, after arriving in the Premier League, Cavani did not integrate as quickly as Yaya Toure after showing intense discomfort in his first game. Although his physical running will not make him a weakness of the team at any time, it is this one that can really be called the focus of the team's trust.

Because of Di Maria's absence, Lennon was not strong enough on the wing, and in this game, Suarez retreated to the side a lot. In the middle, Cavani was given more chances and more comfortable to try and strike boldly – which led to the goal and finally breaking the silence after five consecutive rounds of goal-defying spells.

It wasn't a lot of goals, but it was enough to give him a sigh of relief. It proved that he was not bad, and the temporary defeat was not because he lacked ability, but because he had not fully integrated into the Premier League. Now his tactical arrangement is not a position that can score many goals, but he believes that as long as he works hard enough and has made great progress, the coach will also arrange reasonable tactics for himself - he is also Li Bin's descendant, and he is naturally not worried about the future.

Another happy result was that Tottenham finally scored from a corner in this game. It was the first time that Tottenham had scored from a corner since Li Bin took over. Corners and free-kicks are also quite important as part of a team's tactics. A team sometimes has a set-piece tactic goal number, which can account for about one-third of the team's total goals, and some powerful teams can get about 30 goals by set-pieces in a season, which is equivalent to the number of goals scored by a top scorer, and among them, the general corner goal can reach about 10, which is also equivalent to the number of goals of a top midfielder, these numbers cannot be ignored. If you want to win in a long run, you have to pay attention to all aspects of the goal.

Tottenham have changed coaches, changed players, and now set-piece tactics have to be built from scratch. It took them eight rounds to score their first corner, which was slow enough, but it was an improvement.

He didn't score until now, not because Li Bin was stupid, but because this run-in was quite time-consuming and laborious.

There is a saying in football: winning a corner kick is equal to winning half a goal. It can also be seen how much influence the corner kick in football has on the game. The top teams in the Premier League, the number of corners that can be scored in a season is about 10, accounting for one-third to one-half of the set-pieces, Li Bin remembers, in the 08-09 season, the reason why Liverpool beat Manchester United in the league, but after the worst, it still lost to Manchester United in the long-distance run and it has a lot to do with corner kicks - in memory, Manchester United lost two corners that season, Liverpool lost eight corners - they only conceded 27 goals in a season, this gap is enough to make them cry.

Because Li Bin's team had just been formed, the corner kick training was trained from scratch, so he also decided to simply arrange it from scratch. The first step is to find two players with excellent skills in the team and start practicing passing the ball accurately.

Li Bin is looking for Kolarov and Suarez in the team. Both of them are quite good at their skills, and one with one left foot and one with the other right foot, this is ready to be selected. Then, there are three different standards of 25 meters, 40 meters and 50 meters to be able to cope with a variety of different sizes of fields - although in general, corners do not need to be kicked 50 meters away, but if you encounter a large stadium, when the limit width is 90 meters, you have to kick 50 meters to the far post.

Then, in the training, the first thing is to let them practice passing accurately: this process is not difficult, that is, to plant flags at the near post, far post, and ten meters in front of the far post, and require them to pass the ball to the position, the deviation value can not exceed 2 meters, and it is also required that the arc of the ball is best to be a high drop ball with rotation - of course, some special corner kick players can kick their own style of corner kicks, such as Juninho kicking, even if it is a corner kick, it can also kick out the effect of a fallen ball, that is another way - Passing the ball to a distance of 50 meters with a deviation of no more than 2 meters is a task that no one can do, and it is difficult to complete without long-term training.

And after this step is completed, it is when the corner kick is played, the arrangement of the top of the manpower, in general, in the box, is placed in the penalty area to put three players to grab points in the box - for Tottenham, it is Thiago Silva, Cavani and Yaya Toure. The requirements for these three people are to have good heading skills, and at the same time balance both feet, both feet can shoot, no matter which is called the first time to receive the ball, can form a goal, and generally speaking, ten meters before the far post, is the main attacker - after preparing these, a team's corner kick tactics can be regarded as a prototype.

Set-pieces are not just random and scored. Although it is theoretically good to find a long ball and then pile up people in the box to seek goals, but the basic scramble and how to pass the ball is also a major problem. Reality is not FM, BUG corner kicks are not used, if you want to score goals in the real world, arrange from scratch, so that the players know how to stand, how to shoot, how to score, this is the most critical link.

Then, the corner kick kick in the specific game is changed according to the situation of the players of the team, the second division venue, the climate, and the specific situation on the field. If the opponent is significantly taller than your side, or if there is a large headwind, then a tactical corner is the best choice. If the two sides are about the same height, then it is the best choice to cooperate with the transition ball and find opportunities to open the defense. And if the team's height and header have a clear advantage, then you can directly consider the header attack. Moreover, sometimes, in some special circumstances, such as the wind direction is downwind, or the field is muddy and slippery after the rain, which has a greater impact on the goalkeeper, then, corner kick players, or even consider shooting directly on their own - however, generally speaking, there are very few such footwork, and there are not many times when there is such weather, and it is necessary to rely on the goalkeeper to cooperate, the combination of the three, so there are few corner kick breaks.

Ordinary training is the foundation, and only when the foundation is laid can there be later tactical promotion and application. If you want to don't care about anything, put a player in the box and wait for the goal to score, unless the player is an O'Neal with Jordan's bounce and has to have an Inzaghi-like sense of smell.

Tottenham clearly don't have that kind of monster.

Tottenham's players are not low. A team with an average height of 180cm or more will be able to find it even within the world's borders. Tottenham is different from Barcelona, Barcelona can't score with corner kicks, because their congenital conditions are limited, the players are obviously short and have to play empty hegemony tactics, that's nonsense, so Barcelona plays corner kicks, which has always been a tactical corner kick - because of their height and strength, it is difficult to take advantage of any team...... And Tottenham Hotspur's players are not low now, when they meet a team with average points, they can completely rely on height and weight to crush, and even if they meet a strong team, they can also rely on the transition ball to achieve attack, so Li Bin's training for them has been going on. These trainings are coordinated and signaled to each other. For example, pinching the waist means giving to the far corner, raising one arm represents giving the near corner, and beckoning represents a tactical corner, all of which are negotiable, and the time spent is not a lot.

But it paid off, and in the game against Hull, they finally got the scoresheet. As the team with the worst corner defense this season, Hull City gave Tottenham 20 corner kicks in one game, and finally Tottenham seized the opportunity to break the door once.

The set-piece tactics are starting to pay off, which is a good thing. Compared with Cavani's goal, this goal made Li Bin even more gratified: the team's cooperation is always higher than the individual, and the team's strength is fused together, and the team can be invincible!
