Sassuolo uses tactical maneuver to counter Juventus corner kicks

In the match between Sassuolo and Juventus at the Mapei Stadium, Sassuolo manager Alberto Aquilani employed a specific tactical maneuver during Juventus corner kicks. Rather than committing all players to the penalty area, Sassuolo intentionally kept four tall players positioned away from the box, typically consisting of three offensive players and one midfielder.

This strategy served as a tactical trap designed to mitigate Juventus's strength in set pieces. By leaving four players in advanced positions, Sassuolo forced Juventus to keep players back to monitor potential counter-attacks. This effectively reduced the number of Juventus players available to attack the area, neutralizing their offensive pressure during corners.
