It must be immensely satisfying as a football coach if your players successfully execute a set-piece you’ve been working hard on in training all week during the match itself on Saturday afternoon.
Whether it’s a well-taken corner kick or a clever free-kick, watching your players unsettle the opposition because of a clever plan that you’ve specifically worked on must be one of the best moments you can experience in coaching.
Now, we’re not sure if Nottingham Forest’s caretaker manager Gary Brazil worked on this free-kick routine in training, or whether the players took it upon themselves to attempt it during the match, but it paid off regardless.
Forest were drawing 0-0 with Bristol City midway through the second half when they won a free-kick in a promising position.
The Robins couldn’t have predicted what was about to happen next.
