Alessandro Del Piero and Sinisa Mihajlovic are two of the greatest free kick specialists in Serie A history, so they discussed why so few direct set plays are scored nowadays.
Mihajlovic holds the absolute record in Serie A with 28 conversions, alongside Andrea Pirlo, while Del Piero is in third place with 22.
In his new role as Sky Sport Italia pundit, Del Piero asked Bologna coach Mihajlovic why more weren’t scored now when they have in theory the advantage of the ‘spray’, meaning the wall stays at the regulation distance.
