Fulham's NBA-style corners: How Marco Silva's controversial tactic has brought set-piece success - The Athletic

Fulham have just beaten Birmingham City 4-1, but The Athletic has a pressing question for Marco Silva that isn’t just to do with player fitness or the ups and downs of Championship matches.

Is he a fan of basketball?

“I liked to watch it, and when I was younger as well…” he begins, before realising the direction of travel.

“I know why you are asking me.”

For the regular viewer of Fulham, the topic of today’s piece, and indeed the question above, will come as no surprise at all.

For those still not so sure, take a look at Fulham’s first goal against Nottingham Forest on Sunday…

Blink, and you miss it. Watch it again, and keep your eyes on Denis Odoi in the bright yellow boots, near the six-yard box.

As Jean Michael Seri goes to whip in the corner, the Belgian defender does not move much. In fact, he basically stands still. But where he is standing, and who is facing, matters a great deal.

He stands in the path of Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall, and Worrall is supposed to be marking Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Mitrovic reaches Seri’s corner unopposed, and his flick-on deflects off Forest defender Djed Spence, and into the net.
