After two thrilling legs in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals, Germany advanced to the next stage, Overcoming Italy with an aggregate score of 5-4.
As we all witnessed, the tactical battle between Luciano Spalletti and Julian Nagelsmann was intense throughout both matches, making it an exciting encounter, as anticipated.
However, there was another tactical battle throughout both matches that often goes unnoticed: set-pieces.
In both matches, set plays led to crucial goals and dangerous chances.
Set-piece analysis has become a crucial aspect of match preparation, followed by focused training on the planned strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Analysing set pieces is a tactical confrontation and a battle between coaches, with reactions from both sides throughout the two matches, much like any other aspect of the game.
For example, the attacking team exploits the opposing side’s weaknesses in the first leg, prompting the latter to adjust their strategies to address those weaknesses in the return leg.
Consequently, the attacking team must then modify their tactics to remain effective, following the same loop as in other aspects of the game.
In this tactical analysis, we will examine the set-piece battle between Nagelsmann and his set-piece coach, Mads Buttgereit, against Spalletti and his assistants.
The choice between a two-striker system and one with a central forward supported by two wide attackers represents one of a coach’s most significant tactical decisions.
Each approach offers advantages and presents challenges, profoundly influencing offensive dynamics, defensive structure, and the team’s overall balance.
Analyzing the pros and cons of each solution helps us better understand the strategies adopted by coaches to maximise the qualities of their players and effectively respond to the characteristics of their opponents.
