"Liverpool" club head coach Arne Slot commented on the daily reality of the championship with set pieces before the "Premier" League match against "Wolves":

"If I watch other leagues, I don't think that set pieces receive as much attention there.

Here you can practically hit the goalkeeper, and the referee says to continue playing.

Do I like that? My football heart doesn't like it."

"Now I don't derive pleasure from watching many Championship matches in England.

However, it's always interesting because there's huge competition, and that's the charm of the "Premier" League. But anyone can beat anyone."

"Maybe in five or ten years, everything will change again, but I wouldn't be surprised if, somewhere, when attending U-16 boys matches...

I wouldn't be surprised if we see teams that pay a lot of attention to set pieces.

That's the new reality, and I have my opinion on this matter, but nothing is changing."

London's "Arsenal" club has been scoring many goals from corners for several seasons.

Meanwhile, "Brentford" has made a mark this season with goals from throw-ins.
