AGF are one of the best-performing sides in the Danish Superliga.
Currently sitting in third, they are battling for a spot in European competitions.
They have an outside chance of competing for the top spot, with FC Midtjylland and FC Copenhagen dropping points recently.
Aarhus GF are second in the league on xPTS, showing that their good season is the result of hard work rather than luck.
According to Sofascore, they have scored 16 goals from set pieces, accounting for 36% of their total goal tally.
This tactical analysis will delve into Uwe Rösler’s tactics during set pieces, particularly how AGF use screens to gain success from dead-ball situations.
We will also analyse the ways in which AGF are a threat and the areas in which they struggle.
One key factor in this set-piece analysis is how individual players use their bodies to gain advantages over their opponents in aerial duels, even if there is no spatial advantage to exploit.
Through clever movement and well-set screens, AGF often create high-quality chances, even though opponents can often expect the type of delivery and routine being used.
With the 2024/25 Premier League season rapidly drawing to a close, attention is slowly turning towards the summer transfer window.
All 20 clubs are finalising their shopping lists as they attempt to improve their squads ahead of the following campaign.
However, while many managers and coaches will understandably turn to the global transfer market to fill the holes they have found in their ranks, up-and-coming players within the club should also be considered.
In recent years, promoting youngsters and giving opportunities to promising talents has improved.
More and more managers and coaches are now seeing the benefits of looking down the age groups, with this season seeing several stake claims to figure in their teams’ tactics for a long time to come.
With that in mind, this tactical analysis will examine three players currently aged 21 or younger who have demonstrated the quality needed to make a name for themselves in the Premier League.
The scout report will indicate what each U21 player has brought to their team’s overall play and why each should be kept firmly in their manager’s or coach’s minds when the 2025/26 campaign gets underway.
