Arsenal beat Manchester United at home by 2-0 in this marquee match. Both sides' tactical corner kicks showed their own characteristics, and Arsenal's corner kick offense has reached 22 times since last season, behind which the tactical layout, training system and even team formation all reflected careful planning. The goals seem to rely more on chance, but also not without a component of luck.
Arsenal's set-piece tactics are unpredictable, both at the near end and the far end, all laid out in different formations, and more clever strategies of single block and multiple disturbances. The dead-ball tactics coach Zohua has been highly decorated. Zohua was a former Manchester City manager, and was later introduced to Arsenal by Adidas, who skillfully recruited Zohua during his tenure at Arsenal. Liverpool star Galecha said bluntly after Arsenal's win over Manchester United, "Arsenal will meet all of Zuwa's demands, whatever amount of money we need each week, we can provide it, so why leave?"
The success of the set pieces was also dependent on the consistent play of the enforcers. Dylan Rice and Bukayo Shaka finished two of Arsenal's corners, which were both consistent and high quality. Rice said after the game, "After watching the video, I knew how hard I needed to kick the ball with, and after that it was a matter of repeating the same movements, and today's corners were well taken, and I'm very happy to get an assist."
In terms of tactical deployment and execution, Arsenal still need to create a "first-mover" advantage. In recent years, the team has signed players with strong aerial ability, such as Carla Fiori (1 meter 88), Mikiel Marino (1 meter 89), summer signings such as Wise (1 meter 93), Diglan Rice (1 meter 88) and Jaeger-LeCoultre (1 meter 89), all of whom are giants, making them easy to keep the team's height.
