Lijnders, Peter Krawietz, Vitor Matos, John Achterberg, Jack Robinson, Andreas, Schlumberger, and Andreas Kornmayer are all leaving.

According to Record, Portuguese coach Ruben Pinheiro for a job that Liverpool advertised on LinkedIn - first team set-piece coach.

The impact of set pieces, in my opinion, is not new," he said.

Now it is becoming very relevant, also given the evolution of the game, the fact that more and more teams are being worked on in detail.

What seems clearly different to me is that, over these years, the way in which the moment is approached, the attention given to the moment in training, the innovation that increasingly exists.

The process of creating set pieces can be divided into four phases. The first is the process of analyzing what we are going to find. Therefore, a rigorous analysis process on how the opposing team behaves, for example, defends itself in the zone.

And the same thing offensively. The English call it design. In this design, in a way, I always put the identification of a signal, so that all players can know which dead ball will be decided by the kicker. Therefore, the hitter does not only have to be a good performer, but also a good interpreter and observer.

Once the hitter is defined, the finisher is chosen. It is also defined, within the area, which players will be blocking any more direct marking that this finishing player normally has.

Once the design has been developed, we move on to training it. After that, I also consider it essential that the same is done on a collective scale, with real opposition and as competitive as possible.

In the last stage, which, in my opinion, has the same importance as the others, despite being done after the game, is the observation of the team's performance in those moments in terms of what we want, because that will allow us to see, as at any other moment in the game, what was less well done."
