What Spurs need to improve
Tottenham coach Antonio Conte said many times Spurs need to improve to close gap between them and top 3 clubs in England. While there are many things to improve I'll mention one today. It's direct free kick from 16-25m. Why is this important ? When other side knows you have free kick master in squad they will be afraid of making fouls close to the box. Their legs will shake and they will not be comfortable in playing. On the other hand if they know you are harmless from free kick they will play relaxed and easily tackle and foul you near the box and cut off your play without consequences. Spurs have good dribblers like Bergwijn or Lucas Moura. Other sides often foul them near the box and stop promising attacks like that. They can do it because they know Tottenham aren't any danger from direct free kicks. Who takes direct free kick in Spurs these days ? Most often it's Harry Kane. Pardon me for saying this but I think he isn't doing that very good and I am not alone in that opinion. He either send low ball in live wall which hit someone there or shoot in corner covered by goalkeeper but without enough power. I feel like he's not even trying to send ball over live wall in other corner like he's expecting some magic like showing of sudden hole in wall through which ball will go. Eric Dier tried it few times and it was more dangerous over wall or powerful in goalkeeper corner if he thinks he can't send ball over. We scored one goal after his free kick against Leeds when ball deflected to Reggi. Person who will take free kicks in Spurs should also be able to send ball which will hit ground on 3-5m from goalkeeper and move up after because those balls are the hardest for goalkeeper to catch. If they decide to target goalkeeper corner ball should be powerful and bounce in front of goalkeeper. He'd be able to deflect it without control in the best case. When it happen it will be fear, dread and panic in front of goal... In bellow video you can see how Serbian player Siniša Mihajlović did those free kicks. Pay attention on goal 11 and how that ball is flying like guided missile in other corner of goal. Pay attention on some bouncing ball goals too. He was expert in that and in taking corners. Free kick for him on 25m from goal was like penalty. How did he become so good in that ? He practiced that one hour after each training and it payed of! If we have one who can do free kicks 50% like Siniša players in opposition defense would suffer from leg shaking when they need to start outside box. Enjoy those goals!
