Set-Piece Shortcomings

When and how do teams use zonal defending?:

Teams usually employ the system to be able to best cope with the opposition’s corners or free kicks from wide areas so as to give more protection to their goalkeeper.

The defence typically will line up four players along the six yard box, one on the near post, one in the middle of the six yard box, one between them and one on the far post. Four more will then sit in front of them to offer further protection and to compete for the ball if it is cleared and returned to the penalty area.

The point I have been making. And Scolari still wont put men on the post as he said he will have a mixture of Zonal and Man marking.
