You always have the habit and you usually are told...
if the free kick is your side and you're the left back or the left winger you just go and do the wall this is your job before all the managers on the wall have if we have set pieces this is what we do this is who takes it and who goes where and defensively this is who does what and who does and I think this is for me

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
