The same principles of movement and positioning and placement apply for free kicks and corners The free kicks represented here exhibit kick over top of defence to the back post and a direct shot on goal (less likely from a corner)
Kickers options: 1. Placement of the kick just over the defence toward back post (use the angle) 2. Shot on goal 2 or 3 attacking players making runs along the defensive line and jag towards goal when the ball is struck therefore not offside 2 attackers on the outside of the box for the cleared ball.. Most ameteur defensive clearances don't tend to be too effective so taking up a position to anticipate the rebound or stunted clearance is a perfect tactic
