Union Berlin Prepares Set Pieces as a Weapon for Upcoming Bundesliga Season
Union Berlin, the underdogs of the Bundesliga, are gearing up for the new season with a unique focus - set pieces. The team's coach, Andreas Baumgart, is famously known as the "set-piece whisperer", a nickname that reflects his expertise in this area of the game.
One player who is particularly confident about Union Berlin's set-piece prowess is Robert Skov, the 29-year-old Dane. Skov, who scored a set-piece goal in Union Berlin's impressive 5:0 victory over FC Gütersloh in the DFB-Pokal, aims to better his tally of two goals from last season.
Scoring goals is considered the most difficult part of football, and Skov admits that it's not always easy. However, he trusts his instincts and the extensive training he's received in set pieces since childhood. When asked about his goal against Gütersloh, he revealed that it was a result of advice from his coach, Steffen Baumgart, who suggested aiming for the goalkeeper's corner.
The training of set pieces has been a focal point in Union Berlin's preparation for the new season. The team is working hard to make set pieces a weapon, not just offensively, but also defensively. This approach seems to be paying off, as three set pieces were instrumental in Union Berlin's victory against Gütersloh.
Uli Hoeneß, the former president of Bayern Munich, has praised Union Berlin's performance in the DFB-Pokal. With such recognition, Union Berlin is ready to face their first Bundesliga match against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday at 15:30 CET/Sky.
Skov believes that Union Berlin has strikers and other players who can score goals. With the team's focus on set pieces and the confidence of players like Skov, Union Berlin is poised to make a strong impression in the upcoming season.
In an interesting twist, Skov did not always follow the advice of shooting technique experts. Instead, he took the advice of his parents, who told him to shoot free kicks if he couldn't do anything else. This advice seems to have served him well, as he continues to score crucial goals for Union Berlin.
While Baumgart is indeed the "set-piece whisperer" in the eyes of many, it's important to note that there is no official role by that name at Union Berlin. Regardless, his influence on the team's set-piece strategy is undeniable, and fans are eager to see how it will translate into results in the Bundesliga.
