Marca: Barcelona won two games through efficient corner kick tactics, with the last three goals from corner kicks

September 29 After Barcelona's 2-1 home victory over Real Sociedad, Marca talked about the corner kick tactics that have helped Barcelona win consecutively recently.

This week, Barcelona won two games with efficient corner kick tactics. Of the last four goals, three came from corner kicks. Last Thursday, the team played away against Oviedo, and they equalized the score with a well-designed corner kick. After a short corner, Eric Garcia scored a goal. Then, in stoppage time, Araujo scored a header with Rashford.

This strategy worked again against Real Sociedad on Sunday, and once again equalized the score with a corner kick when Barcelona faced difficulties in the game. This time it was still from the left, and Rashford assisted Conde to head the ball.

Previously, Barcelona also created a threat through a wonderful corner kick. Badeji took the corner kick to the front point, De Jong crossed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and Rashford easily shot, but was resolved by Remiro's wonderful save.

At the beginning of the season, Barcelona has suffered multiple injuries. In addition to captain Ter Stegen's long absence, players such as Garvey, Barde, Fermin, Joan Garcia, Rafinia and Yamal were injured, although the latter returned against Real Sociedad.

The absence of several important players affected Barcelona's game creativity, resulting in lack of inspiration at some moments on the offensive end. Fortunately, Frick's team found a solution through set piece tactics and won the last two league rounds.

Konde said in an interview after the game that despite his critical attitude toward the team's performance in the final stages of the game, he highly praised the set piece tactics: "I think we did a great job in both offense and defensive set piece. This year, with Rashford and Badge joining, we added two great passers."
