set piece attribute - for attack or defence?

Can anyone tell me with 100% certainty this is indeed just for attacking as seems to be assumed.

If this is the case, presumably defenders dont need any set piece training unless one intends to use them in attack.

If you know for sure please say - likewise, same goes if its an opinion.

i think the set piece training covers free kicks, crossing, corners etc. its not actually practicing corners or anything like that as a team, its just the actual taking of the set piece.

im pretty sure thats right anyway, not certain. in a game situation, the defenders just need to be good at heading and be able to read the cross well, so they need tactics/defending training to cover that, not the actual set piece training

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
