That’s probably the best corners video for me and how my team play. Very well explained and put together

I watch soccer but I don’t understand how they play and the tactics now watching this video really helped me

[@sleephaven]

Excellent video which considers all the options and clear direction to help coaches to defend against corners.

Thanks for the video, really interesting to see the many tactical decisions spelled out like that. I have a question though, I'm a twenty-one year old amateur player, usually left back, and average in height and I find defending corners such a mess. I have trouble reacting properly to the situations just before the kick comes. Now when it has come, and the ball is not in our net, I usually know what to do. But the headers and feigned runs from attackers give me a head ache, how do I improve this?

As a goalkeeper, I’d say if you’re man marking, it can be difficult so the best thing you can do is face the striker face on and focus more on him than the ball. If you’re zonal marking, just block out the runs of the strikers and go to meet the ball if it’s crossed into your area of the box

Plz do video on free kick tactics

Should defenders be infront of the attacker or behind in corners? I see defenders (red) are always infront

what site or app is that for the player movements?
