This current iteration of FC Barcelona may be considered as the most well-coached version of the team in recent recollection.
The Catalan club persists through a series of injuries, attributed largely to their new head coach. Surprisingly, some of the team’s goals do not result from complex plays or aggressive pressing tactics.
Some of the most important goals this season have been scored from set pieces, an area where Barcelona previously faced difficulties. Nevertheless, it appears that this trend has now shifted.
According to SPORT, set pieces, previously neglected, have become a crucial element in Barcelona’s strategic approach. The team has scored ten goals from set pieces, such as penalties, corners, throw-ins, and free kicks.
Efforts in improving this aspect are continuous, with Hansi Flick urging the squad to integrate this skill into their overall gameplay.
In matchups against teams utilizing a deep defensive line or demonstrating solid defensive stability, this new skill will be a beneficial asset for Barcelona.
It will complement their improved long-range shooting, accurate set-piece execution, and ability to overload the opponent’s penalty area.
