FC Midtjylland and free kicks

Interesting piece. What it seems to highlight is that nobody knows anything about playing football, which isn't that surprising.

I can't find the article, but I recall reading something where he stated that the chance of scoring from a corner is 2%, so it's not an efficient use of resources to practise them. I don't recall him saying anything about set pieces in general other than he finds goals from open play more satisfying.

This suggests that the worst sides only convert 2% of their set pieces. The best convert roughly 25% of their set piece play.
