Have you got snowed in?
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Possibly.
They are.
I hear you.
Here's my thing.
I think it's on the manager or set piece coach or whoever handles set pieces.
You've got incredibly talented world-class players.
If you're talking about a national team, you'll have one or two world-class players, right?
The idea is that
in your two or three of your players, you know, starting 11 LD, have to be able to take free kicks at a very high level, right?
And that means training them, having the bravery to take them.
Like this is, you know, Declan Rice, by the way, and I know Arsenal is the best set piece team in the world,
His balls are, like, every time he swings a ball in, it's literally perfect.
But Declan Mace is a good player.
I get it.
But Saka from the other side.
When Saka takes it, it's inch perfect.
So I don't know if I subscribe to, like, the better free kick taker wins out.
