Tony Pulis, a former Premier League boss, was discussing Arsenal’s recent success with set-pieces, highlighting the contributions of Nicolas Jover and the effectiveness of the team’s corner strategies.
Tony Pulis said “penny has dropped on the importance of set-pieces after Arsenal continued their fine record from dead-ball situations. The Gunners beat Manchester United 2-0 on Wednesday night thanks to two goals from corner kicks. Mikel Arteta’s men have made the most of set-pieces thanks to Nicolas Jover’s insight, making them a real threat against most opponents.”
Pulis was reflecting on his own managerial career and the emphasis he placed on set plays across the various teams he managed, confirming their significant impact on team performance.
Tony Pulis said “If you look at my career all the way through from winning promotion at Gillingham, I got promoted from every division. I worked hard. I knew how important they were, I knew they would be a big factor for the teams I had. Doing it and making sure players knew how important it was, was all part of my set-up. I would set my teams up in lots of ways and set plays were as important as anything else.”
