""I genuinely think set-pieces could help England win the World Cup. There are no pictures on the World Cup trophy. It doesn't matter how you win. It's whether you win or not.""
""We will be talking fine margins at the World Cup. In the latter stages especially, games could be decided by the odd goal, a single incident, a moment.""
""Look at the league leaders. Arsenal are famed for using it. Who is delivering those deadly corners and set-pieces for them? Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka.""
""You then look at the aerial quality England possess, the ability and quality they have in those situations, and I'm not sure other countries will be prepared for it.""
Thomas Tuchel's strategic focus on set-pieces may significantly influence England's performance in the World Cup. Former goalkeeper Paul Robinson emphasizes the importance of set-plays, particularly highlighting Arsenal's effective use of them. Key players like Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are noted for their ability to execute dangerous set-pieces. Robinson believes that these skills could lead to crucial goals in tightly contested matches, potentially breaking England's long-standing trophy drought since 1966. The aerial strength of the team may also provide a tactical advantage over opponents.
