MarcoSilvaspoke about the details of the preparation of **Fulham**for set-pieces against Arsenal.
The big Brazilian for the Gunners is a key target in these situation,s and he got away in a critical moment to assist Leandro Trossard. However, for the most part, the hosts’ head coach was happy.
*“I think we prepared and we most of the time we did it very well the way we set up ourselves and we faced the corners and the free kicks and from Arsenal. We try to block the run so Gabriel Magalhaes cannot go with full power at the ball. Most of the time we they did it very well in that moment.*
“They opened the path for him to run and you see if you see how high he jumped in that moment it was very difficult to win that challenge in the air and with the power that he came to the ball, it is going to be more difficult because most of the players they were blocked inside the box.
“That flick of course after is more difficult for you to control the far post even if you had the chances to control better the far post touch from. It made an impact in the game.
“What is a frustration for us that we felt that we were well prepared for that moment and we showed throughout the game that we are very well prepared for that moment. But this is the type of games you have to have to keep to focus 95, 100 minutes there. And most of the time we did a very good job.
“In one moment, we let him to go with power when most of the times you control well and in that moment um the way jump was very difficult to control even as I said before the far post situation you should have control better even when the flick comes to the far post, it is always more difficult.”
