Assignment1 Model Answer
The document is a tactical assignment by Ahmed Osama that analyses several corner‑kick set‑pieces from the 2023/24 Premier League match between Manchester City (MCI) and Brighton & Hove Albion (BHA) at the Etihad Stadium. It focuses on two primary formations – a 5‑3‑1‑1 shape used for most of the first half and a later 5‑2‑1‑1‑1 shape in the final minutes – and distinguishes between inswing and outswing deliveries. For each timestamp (05:47, 08:34, 54:45, 74:35, 91:18) the PDF provides: (1) a diagram of player numbers and their zones, (2) pre‑movement and post‑movement arrows indicating planned runs, (3) the designated corner‑taker (player 47) and target zones (e.g., player 20, 25), (4) the type of delivery (inswing or outswing), and (5) the match score at that moment. Photographs of the live match accompany the diagrams, showing the actual corner‑kick situation. The analysis also lists player roles by colour (yellow for Brighton, blue for Manchester City) and highlights specific players with green outlines to denote special responsibilities. The final section records a formation change to 5‑2‑1‑1‑1 with an outswing corner at 91:18, summarising the new player layout and movement arrows. Overall, the document serves as a detailed, visual, and time‑stamped breakdown of set‑piece tactics for coaching or analytical purposes.
