Recently, Manchester United have not performed well on the field, being equalized by their opponents in the case of a 2-0 lead over Villa, and even passive, if it were not for De Gea's divine save, Manchester United would most likely lose away. Today, Manchester United has played 20 rounds in the Premier League, won only nine games, and accumulated 32 points, ranking 7th in the league, five points away from the top four in the Champions League. Although the gap is not large, the fighting spirit and mental state shown by manchester United players on the field have made many fans criticize that their hopes for the Champions League place this season are no longer great.
Manchester United have performed poorly on the field, and the set-piece conversion rate is a very direct manifestation, playing 20 rounds of premier league matches, Manchester United have won 106 corners, but none of them have been converted into goals. If there are fewer people in the team who are good at headers, it is understandable, but it is important to know that there are many players in the Manchester United team, including Maguire, whose success rate at the European Championship is second among all players, and C Ronaldo is a master of headers, which has been proven many times. Both Pogba and Varane are taller than 1.9m.
106 corners in 20 games, never scored, which means that even if a defender kicks the ball out of the bottom line and gives Manchester United a chance to corner, the Red Devils can't grasp it, which is indeed an embarrassing record.
There are many cases in Manchester United's history of creating magical moments through corners, the most classic is the Camp Nou miracle in 99, Beckham's corner directly shattered the Dream of champions of the Champions League of Bundesliga hegemon Bayern, and Sheringham and others completed the highlights of their careers.
You know in training, the tactical drill of corner kicks is very important, there are forward points, back points, long distances and short distances, tactical corners, etc., it can be said that corner kicks are a good opportunity to break the goal, of course, this is in the practice of good, while the players in the field of implementation in place, and obviously in this regard, Manchester United did a worse job.
In fact, the corner is not scored is only one aspect of Manchester United's failure on the pitch this season, tactical kicks can not be played, in the face of opponents who are not as strong as their own is also suppressed, the dominance on the field has declined, such Manchester United want to impact the Champions League seats, and compete with Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham United, it is indeed more difficult.
