When we talk about Set Pieces<\/a>, it is essential to understand that, from MBP’s perspective, these phases are as fundamental as the attacking phase or the attack-defence transition.<\/h4>\n

At MBP School of Coaches, we define SPs<\/a> as the moments<\/strong> that arise when there is a stoppage, being the only moment in football when the ball<\/strong> is not in motion and only one team can put it into play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Below, we will explore the 6 representative actions of the SPs phase in football:<\/p>\n

Kick-off: The action taken from the centre of the pitch to start the match, the second half or to restart play after a goal.<\/p>\n

Throw-in: Action taken with the hands to restart play when the ball goes beyond the boundary of the field of play along one of the side lines.<\/p>\n

Free Kick: Action to restart play when the referee signals a foul, except when it occurs inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Penalty kick: An infringement committed inside the penalty area punishable by a kick from 11 metres (penalty mark).<\/p>\n

Goal kick: Action to restart play when the ball goes out of bounds on the end line and the last team to touch it was the team attacking in that direction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each of these actions has different objectives and purposes, both in attack and defence.<\/p>\n

The depth of analysis and training on specific concepts within these actions can make the difference in any game, such as positioning at wide free kicks or the set-up at corner kicks.<\/p>\n
