Impressive preparation
After two rounds, England became the team to score the most goals from the penalty situation or penalty corner with four goals. This figure could have been raised to 5 if Harry Kane's penalty from the penalty kick was taken into account with Panama, the situation that England captain fouled after a corner kick.

England are the team that scored the most goals from the fixed situation in the 2018 World Cup. The coordinating match from the fixed situation to help England's task in the group stage is lightweight. more. And that will continue to be the weapon of the triumvirate of the first battle with Belgium and the future journey. The free kick situation has shown the preparation of the England team for the 2018 World Cup.

Let's make a comparison. World Cup 2010, England meet Germany and pushed into the lead. In a free-kick situation on the pitch of the German team, the English players rose high and left Gareth Barry behind. Germany counterattack and Mesut Oezil did not have much difficulty in speeding past Barry and then setting up Thomas Mueller to clinch the 4-1 victory. The question is why Barry is not a speedier idiot in the back to deal with the flashbacks. The answer can only be a lack of preparation for such situations.



2018 is a completely opposite picture. Up until this point, England were not the only team to score the most goals from free kick situations, but also owned one of the free kick arrangements that could be included in football textbooks. The penalty is far from the penalty area against Panama, Kieran Trippier picks up the ball for Harry Kane in the far corner of the opponent's offside trap. The England captain then headed for Raheem Sterling and John Stones took his place with the goalkeeper to make the score 4-0. A certain phase that the English players certainly have to train a lot!

Trippier and Russell are the "keys"
In England's long-range free kick and corner, Tottenham's trippier winger has always been the goalkeeper. Trippier's ballistic lines up to this point have very high stability.

Trippier is the creator of the second set of goals in the 2018 World Cup, with seven times as many defeats as Belgian conductor Kevin de Bruyne. Most of these opportunities are created by kicking or kicking the corner, which the player himself admits has been practicing with instructions from free kick specialist Christian Eriksen, his team-mate. shirt of Tottenham.

But with Trippier England will not be so effective in fixed situations. The real architect behind the arrangements of the English team was Allan Russell, a BHL member and also a freelance case studies expert.

At Russell in common with coach Gareth Southgate, they both enjoyed American sports, which was very impressive for the way the NFL and NBA teams match up. fixed case. Since June 2017, Russell has been brought to Southgate on the main task is to help England increase efficiency in the "dead ball" situation. And so far, it can be said that Russell has accomplished his outstanding task.

After 50 goals scored in the 2018 World Cup, there are 27 goals from fixed situations (including penalties), accounting for more than 50%. This is a very high percentage if compared to the average of 25% -33% according to league statistics in the league last season. It shows that taking advantage of the goals from fixed situations is a trend in the 2018 World Cup and England are the ones who catch the trend best!
