Carragher: Arsenal scored 26% more goals from set pieces; there is no need to be criticized for winning the championship, the result is the king

Hupu November 08 News Recently, Carragher stated in a column in the "Daily Telegraph" that if Arsenal finally wins the Premier League championship this season, history will evaluate the Gunners.

Carragher said: "More than 50% of Arsenal's goals come from set pieces, but neither they nor the fans need to care about this. The team's famous slogan 'It's a set piece again, oh, oh, oh' is enough to explain the problem."

"No fan of any team will not celebrate having such a 'goal weapon'. The rise of set piece coaches means that more teams are now fully exploring the possibility of scoring from set pieces."

" People may debate how history will remember a team that relies on less than 50% of its goals from non-sport games, but as long as it wins, the result is the most important."

"Corner kicks and free kicks have been crucial to the outcome of the game since the birth of football. I still proudly collect the 2001 Europa League winner's medal, which was born thanks to a free kick by set-piece specialist Gary McAllister. "

"In terms of pure football standards, the showdown between Manchester City and Liverpool was the pinnacle of competition between two top teams and two top coaches - one side is the best team in the world in possession of the ball, and the other side is the best team in the world in off-the-ball defense. At that time, English football had reached a new height. Tactical concepts such as 'false nine', 'all-round full-back' and 'midfielder' were emerging one after another, and the complexity of tactics increased significantly. "

"Today, instead of absorbing the tactical benchmarks set by Guardiola in particular and seeking innovative ways to promote the development of football, most coaches in the Premier League are looking back to the past rather than redefining the future. We are in a period of regression in football concepts."
