# Use blocker to deactivate the man-marking
Ways to play outside corners, or ways to play in general as an attacking team, also depends on the style used as a defending team, what is it used for?
Ways to play outside corners, or ways to play in general as an attacking team, also depends on the style used as a defending team, what is it used for?
If the team that defends the corner uses a man-to-man defensive system, this calls for the team playing the corner, to use a trick to get rid of marking.
And the presence of two players behind each other, as the player in the front takes over to block the defenders from the next behind him without supervision and moves in the space, whether on the near or far post.
Coming from outside the penalty area to the inside with the back of the player in search of advancement and superiority over the defender.
Here we could note the body orientation of Joel Matip who disrupted both players of Leeds United and prevented them from marking Virgil Van Dijk so that the Dutchman could be a free runner toward the near post.
Matip succeeds to get distracted by the trio for Leeds's defensive structure, while Robertson crosses the ball on the near post.
Here we notice how Matip put himself in front of Van Dijk, emptied the space horizontally for the player, which made him have enough time to be in the right place and score a goal.
Playing the ball in the space between the near post and the penalty point, with sufficient force, outswing in an arc, it is also difficult for the goalkeeper and defenders to move towards it and estimate its place.
Distributing players vertically from inside to outside the area, with Matip and Van Dijk choosing to be the last pair in the lineup is a strategy that has paid off, even with Matip changing Konate.
Here is an example, Fabinho standing in front of the Crystal duo, while Van Dijk prepares to run and they are shown by the bow of his back.
Playing corners in an arc, outside the limits of the penalty area, the player needs to give strength as well as accuracy, with a well-timed rise, giving himself strength from the speed with which he goes behind his colleague who acted as a barrier in front of the defender.
in stopping him and he is coming quickly from the back to front.
There is also a method followed in front of the teams defending the zonal-marking in the corner balls.

# Penalty point emptying vs Zonal
Offensive corners out in front of teams that follow the zone defensive system, which is similar to a theatrical show, the coordinated movement, between the players on the near and far posts, while the depth area is emptied near the point.

Unloading the depth for van Dijk is a process that is repeated, especially in front of teams that defend distinctly with the zonal-marking system, the movements of Liverpool players vertically towards the goal on the posts, and leaving the space in the heart of the penalty area.
Here, Arnold played the cross in the middle of the Arsenal penalty area, with Henderson and Fabinho, Jota in the middle and Van Dijk behind.
Here we note the presence of Van Dijk in the match unsupervised and with a delay from Thomas Partey in the reaction, while Henderson went to the near post and Fabinho to the far post.
Zonal structures in the first line change depending on the number of players and the spacing and staggering between players (e.g the height and width of their positioning).
Looking at the defending team for example Arsenal stands with 8 players split into rows 4 and 4 in front.

arranged in terms of The near post can be defended higher, so just near the edge or outside of the six-yard box towards the corner, or it can be occupied near to the goal, centrally, or the further away from the goal (front post far).
The central area can be split into three horizontally and you can't fit any more than three players into this area without them just getting in each other's way. Like here, one gets the far post, the other on the near post and Van Dijk in the middle.
Here we could note Konate ran out toward the near post, where two defenders took marking him to make Van Dijk positioning alone in the middle of the penalty area.
# Facing the mixed system
There is a difference that adopts a double defensive system between the idea of ββa man to man and the idea of ββββzonal, and here the idea is closer to what happens in a man , a player blocks vision and movement on defenders, and another comes beehind.

But this time who comes from behind goes to the defender who applies the defense of the area alone, and here the attacker has the advantage in terms of body position and explosive energy that he brings with the faster rise and more accurate reaction.
Here we notice Fabinho is in front of the Brighton player inside the area, while there is a space between the player who watches him and his teammate in the back, meaning that there is a void between the players charged with monitoring the man and
