Professional football K League 1 FC Seoul, which has been in Final B for the past three seasons and has lost its pride, is aiming to rebuild its reputation this season. The set piece is at the center of the rising trend, which is currently in 4th place with 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses after playing 9 games.
Seoul scored 18 goals in 9 games this season. With an average of exactly 2 points per game, it is tied for first place with Daejeon Hana Citizen among 12 K-League 1 clubs. This is a big change compared to last season, when he only scored 43 goals in 38 games and was frustrated. It is thanks to the addition of national striker Hwang Ui-jo and side striker Lim Sang-hyeop, who has a lot of bones in the K-League, that the weight of the offensive resources has increased.
However, if you look a little closer, you can find a big feature. Seoul scored 10 of its 18 goals this season from set pieces. Of these, a whopping 8 goals were from corner kicks, and 2 goals were scored directly from free kicks. This means that more than half of the total score was scored in a suspended situation. Except for Palosevich’s free-kick goal against Daegu FC in round 6 and Na Sang-ho’s free-kick goal against Pohang Steelers in round 7, all set-piece goals came from Ki Sung-yueng’s corner kicks. Center backs Kim Joo-seong and Osmar, strikers Ilyuchenko and Hwang Ui-jo, and side strikers Na Sang-ho and Im Sang-hyeop scored goals thanks to Ki Sung-yueng’s corner kick.
In the ninth round against Gangwon FC held on the 26th, both goals came from Ki Sung-yueng’s corner kicks. When it was dropped sharply in front of the gate, all of the clinical consultations were caught on the toes after the second ball. Palosevich’s goal in the second half, which was canceled due to a mistake, also came from Ki Sung-yueng’s corner kick.메이저사이트
The kick itself is sharp, and tall players actively participate in the attack. In addition to Kim Ju-seong and Osmar, who tasted the goal, Kwon Wan-kyu also joined the attack and hit the goal post. Thanks to the defensive resources with excellent header ability, there is also the advantage of diversifying the distribution of goals. Even in the second ball fight, there are many cases that have the upper hand.
In an interview after the super match against Suwon Samsung in the 8th round, Na Sang-ho revealed the secret to a successful set piece this season. He cited the many preparations of the coaches as the reason, saying, “The coaches have informed me a lot and I am going to make it. I will continue to make it well.”
One of the fun points of enjoying the K-League is to see what various set pieces will look like in the future, such as corner kicks, which have emerged as a clear scoring route for Seoul.
