English term or phrase: "at set pieces"
Shuffling the pack for these warm-ups is a subtle business. Too few changes and you look rigid, too many and you look clueless. Poland averaged 1.7 goals a game in qualifying, but coach Leo Beenhakker has still recalled DSC Arminia Bielefeld’s 30-year-old striker Artur Wichniarek to face Finland and the Czech Republic.

King Artur, as Arminia fans call him, has been a monarch in exile for Poland, having last represented them in August 2003, but he gives Beenhakker the chance to see how his team fares with a target man upfront. Or maybe he just wants some extra help marking the Czechs’ lanky Jan Koller **at set pieces**, who is currently ranked 16th in the Castrol Performance Index strikers' list.

Dans certaines circonstances ou quelque chose comme ça? Je ne suis pas sure de comprendre l'expression ici...

Explanation:
"The term set piece or set play is used in football and rugby to refer to a situation when the ball is returned to open play following a stoppage, particularly in a forward area of the pitch. Most often, the term is used to refer to free kicks and corners, but sometimes throw-ins. Many goals result from such positions, whether scored directly or indirectly. Thus defending set pieces is an important skill for defenders, and attacking players spend much time practising them; set pieces are one area where tactics and routines can be worked out in training in advance of matches. Some players (such as David Beckham) specialize in the delivery of set pieces."
