Trevoh Chalobah, the Crystal Palace defender of Sierra Leonean descent, emphasized the importance of capitalizing on their enhanced set-piece strategies this season.
Following a recent victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, where he scored the opening goal from a corner, Chalobah highlighted how crucial such goals are for securing wins.
Chalobah pointed out that the team’s focus on set-piece training has been instrumental in their progress.
“(I had to be) alive in the box, anticipating where the ball’s going to land. I went where the ball landed and I was there.
“It was good to get my second goal and good to chip in as a defender as well. With goals like that from set-pieces, now we’re getting stronger in set-pieces and we need to use that as our advantage.
“We’re doing a lot of training, working on our set-pieces and doing a lot of analysis and sitting down and watching teams (to understand) how we can improve ourselves both in our box and in the attacking box as well.”
The 25-year-old is enjoying his loan spell at Palace, scoring two goals in 11 games in all competitions.
