Something curious happened at the last World Cup. The number of goals scored from set-pieces fell off a cliff, down from 44 per cent in Russia in 2018 to 24 per cent in Qatar four years later.There’s a school of thought that the heat in the United States, Mexico and Canada, allied to the rise of specialist set-piece coaches at club and international level, will lead to a significant upturn in goals scored from dead-balls at this summer’s tournament.Either way, nobody underestimates the value of practising and perfecting those scenarios, whether that’s the free-kick that Andrea Pirlo mastered in a pair of loafers, the nerveless penalty that is fast approaching its 50th birthday, or a corner-kick routine that requires all the stars – Tom Huddlestone and Lee Trundle in our case – to align.Alongside the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and the king of the showboat, we’ve got the YouTuber and content creator Eman SV2, 14-year-old Liverpool academy player Rafferty Bolshaw, and the left foot of another teenager, Jimmie Basquine, to show you how to make those set-pieces really count in the latest part of our How To Series…Corner kick & volleyA lot of things have to come together to pull off this spectacular set-piece routine, starting with a pinpoint delivery from the corner taker.The pass needs to pick out an unmarked team-mate on the edge of the penalty box, and arrive at the perfect height, with just the right weight and pace, to enable the ball to be struck first time but also to prevent an opponent from intercepting. Get all of that right and the player at the receiving end still has to execute the volley.Step forward David Beckham and Paul Scholes, or David Beckham and Roberto Carlos or… look, it doesn’t have to be David Beckham taking the corner every time but it helps.
