DEFINITION:
Every cross into the penalty area, which comes from set piece
GUIDELINES:
Crosses after fouls, from free kicks, when the player delivers the ball into the penalty area from set pieces.
- every cross or directed ball into the penalty area from free kick
- usually there are some players from both teams inside in the penalty area
Direct, high cross by the player in white shirt
High free kick cross by Messi
Low free kick cross by Messi
High cross by N.10 in white shirt
- if a player just passes/touches the ball and a teammate crosses it immediately after in the penalty area - it must be tagged like Free kick cross to the crossing player (nothing for the other one)
Indirect free kick cross - 1st player passes the ball, 2nd stops it and 1st crosses it - only free kick cross to the 1st player must be tagged and nothing to the other player
- if it's something, practiced on training, scheme must be added
Something practiced on training - Messi looks and finds Vidal, behind the defensive line - at the same time Vidal waits the perfect timing to start his run and Pique scores at the end
Not a typical cross by N.7 in white shirt, but for sure something practiced on training and the ball is directed into the penalty area - it must be free kick cross + scheme, not free kick
