Manchester City and Arsenal held the UEFA Europa League final at Wembley Stadium, causing quite a stir in English football.
The main point of interest in the disturbance was the tactical battle between the two managers.
Wenger's rogue corner kick strategy astonished everyone!
Many Premier League coaches realized that corners could be taken this way.
Originally, it was thought that the Premier League referees were the most lenient in the five major leagues, but unexpectedly, even the squeezing and blocking in the penalty area were ignored by these referees!
The coaches all gathered their set-piece coaches to start imitating Wenger's rogue corner kick strategy.
Especially those weaker teams that struggle offensively, set-pieces often serve as a crucial weapon to break the deadlock.
With this tactic, coaches felt that there's no need to painstakingly work on passing and cutting movements in offense, as perfecting corners means half the battle won.
