SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: SWEDEN WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM OFFENSIVE CORNERS

I’ve only written one set-piece article on women’s football before this one and I want to write more. It’s a corner of the football world that deserves more attention and I genuinely find their set-pieces fascinating. That’s why I also wanted to focus on national teams. They don’t play as many games are domestic clubs, but their corner routines are very interesting nonetheless. I’ve chosen … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: SWEDEN WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM OFFENSIVE CORNERS

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: DUNDEE UNITED OFFENSIVE CORNERS

O Flower of Scotland. When will we see your like again? The first lines of the Scottish anthem and they are beautiful. I always relate them to Scottish football in relation to the rest of Europe, but I’m well aware of the historical significance of the song. I’m saying this because I think that there’s nothing to compare to Scottish football bar Scottish football. Excellent … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: DUNDEE UNITED OFFENSIVE CORNERS

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: LINKÖPING FC OFFENSIVE CORNERS

Since I’ve started writing about set-pieces I’ve only concentrated on set-pieces in men’s football. This has no specific reason other than there is broader variety of leagues with good coverage. This, however, is starting to change. Thankfully. There are loads of interesting sides in the women’s game and that’s why I’m writing about them, because there are interesting to look and have exciting routines. There … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: LINKÖPING FC OFFENSIVE CORNERS

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: PARIS FC DEFENSIVE CORNERS

Until now I’ve based my analysis on attacking corners of several clubs that don’t feature in the top-5 leagues in Europe, but that’s just one part of set-piece analysis. As we all know they are attacking routines to master, but also a defensive set up to master. In this analysis, I will focus on the defensive set up by a team. Looking at defensive set … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: PARIS FC DEFENSIVE CORNERS

WHAT THE SUPER LEAGUE NEGLECTED: COLLECTIVE IDENTITY AND REGIONALISM

Something slightly different today. As many of you have done too, I have watched the news surrounding the Super League with great surprise. I was not surprised that the Super League was introduced, not at all, because it has been in the works for quite some time now – but I was surprised by the lack of sympathy and empathy towards the people that make … Lees verder WHAT THE SUPER LEAGUE NEGLECTED: COLLECTIVE IDENTITY AND REGIONALISM

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: MONZA OFFENSIVE CORNERS

Analysing set-pieces is what I’ve been doing the most over the past week or two, and it’s very interesting to see different levels and different deliveries in set-piece. Previously I’ve analysed Hansa Rostock, Dundalk FC and Grulla Morioka – but this time my focus went to a league that has been overshadowed by it’s bigger brother, I’m talking about the Serie B. Why Italy? Many … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: MONZA OFFENSIVE CORNERS

CASE STUDY DANISH U19 LIGAEN: 4-4-2 WITH DOUBLE FALSE 9

One of the reasons I love to go deeper into academies and youth teams is the fact that you can really experience a football culture from them. A first team is all about results and getting player in and out, but an academy doesn’t necesarily have to perform in order to be successful within their role. Their first objective or goal – well in most … Lees verder CASE STUDY DANISH U19 LIGAEN: 4-4-2 WITH DOUBLE FALSE 9

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: GRULLA MORIOKA OFFENSIVE CORNERS

I’m genuinely intrigued, captivated and enchanted by set-pieces at this point. You might have seen that this is the third set-piece analysis article I’m writing in the last week or so, but I genuinely love them. Underappreciated and undervalued, but the effect of a set-piece can change a game or tilt the moment within a game. There are so many different routines and that’s why … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: GRULLA MORIOKA OFFENSIVE CORNERS

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: DUNDALK FC OFFENSIVE CORNERS

Last week I posted the first part of the offensive corners analysis on Hansa Rostock and today I’m sharing part two of the offensive corners analysis. In this part I will look more closely at the offensive corners employed by Dundalk FC, playing in the League of Ireland. As also said in the previous article, I want to look at leagues that are really interesting … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: DUNDALK FC OFFENSIVE CORNERS

SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: HANSA ROSTOCK’S OFFENSIVE CORNERS

This website is a place for me to share my work with you in the hope that you find it useful and can develop it into something that works for you. It’s also a project for me as I work towards different types of analysis. That’s why I’m introducting a new series on this website: set-piece analysis. In this series I will look at the … Lees verder SET-PIECE ANALYSIS: HANSA ROSTOCK’S OFFENSIVE CORNERS
