Allsvenskan 2021: The Secrets Behind AIK’s Threat From Corners – Set-Piece Analysis

Do you know who had the best offensive corners in Allsvenskan 2021?

The answer is not Malmö FF or Djurgården, but Bartosz Grzelak’s AIK.

The Gnaget finished ninth in 2020, not even making to the top half of the table.

However, under the leadership of Grzelak, they improved crazily and became a title contender within a year.

Only in the last match week, Malmö were able to claim the title.

Behind their success was not only about the contributions of players such as Nicolás Stefanelli, Bilal Hussein, and Erick Otieno.

A very important part is their set-play attack, which won them crucial points in the journey.

Compared to the previous year, AIK scored 6 more corner goals, raising the figure from 7 to 13.

Valuable goals such as those against Kalmar, Häcken, and Örebro SK were all attributed to the corners.
