Quotes about set-pieces (6 Quotes)


    I go up to set-pieces and I've waited to score a goal. Of course my job is to keep clean sheets rather than score goals, but goals are a bonus, and today it was with my left foot as well.




    I like Pierce Brosnan a lot. But he's playing James Bond - he isn't him. All the poses and stuff, it looks a bit bland. And the gadgets and set-pieces... it looks like the stories are now built around the gadgets, and not vice-versa.


    Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday backed Gabriel Heinze to emulate Steve Bruce and become a regular goalscorer from Manchester United's defence. Centre-back Bruce netted an incredible 19 goals back in 1991, most of them headers from set-pieces, and Fergie believes fearless Heinze can do the same 14 years on. Heinze got off to the perfect start this season with two goals in United's midweek 3-0 win over Debrecen, which sealed their Champions League place. And Fergie is adamant the Argentine can have the same impact as Bruce in terms of goals. Gabi is brave enough, that's for sure, ... He's got so much courage. He's certainly prepared to put his head in there for set-pieces, as he showed the other night. He only managed one goal for us last season but he can definitely get a lot more than that. Steve Bruce got 19 for us back in 1991, which was exceptional. Gabi has similar characteristics to Brucie in that he won't hesitate to stick his head in.
