World Sports: Rashford performed well in taking corner kicks, but his free kick shooting was poor

"World Sports News" wrote an article that Rashford's loan performance at Barcelona was generally positive. He contributed 6 goals and 8 assists. He showed "two sides" in terms of set pieces. He performed well at corner kicks but performed poorly at free kicks.

In terms of corner kicks, Rashford's cross brought a huge improvement. Barcelona have scored four corner kicks this season, three of which have come from Rashford's kicks. Lewandowski, Araujo and Kounde have all benefited from his precise crosses, whether they were inswinging balls from the left or outswinging balls from the right.

However, he did not perform well when it came to direct free kicks. Barcelona have failed in all 16 free kicks this season, with Rashford taking the last six. His best attempt just hit the post against Girona.

The article pointed out that Rashford only scored four free kicks in his Manchester United career, and the last goal was six years ago in October 2019. The Western media finally mentioned that Rafinha has failed to score a free kick in four seasons, and Yamal has also requested to take the penalty before.
