Manchester City’s coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandar-Kolarov-c4475 puts in, and feels that his improved free kicks are a result of his determination and dedication.
The Serbian international has gone on to score from three free kicks this season, with him having found the back of the net against Sunderland, Real Madrid and Aston Villa.
This improved free kick ability is not down to chance, as Platt has revealed that the full back has been putting in extra hours after practice to perfect his trade.
“Ally deserves the goals he has got in the last few weeks from set-pieces because he has religiously, three times a week, stayed out for 10 minutes and he keeps putting them in,” Platt told reporters.
“Ask Richard Wright – he has got a bad back from picking them out of the goal! Ally has put a lot of work in on his set-pieces so he deserves the goals he has got.”
Given the fact that the team has Yaya Toure, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706, all of whom can take a decent free kick, it has been revealed that the management has left it to the players to decide who will be taking the free kicks from here
on.
“We won’t tell them who should take, because it depends where it is, where the keeper sets his wall up, whether it is close enough to the goal or far enough away,” he added.
This season, Kolarov has looked to be a highly improved player. The full back’s performances have been so impressive, that he often sees himself playing further up the pitch, as opposed to playing all the way in the back.
What’s interesting about his performances is the fact that he is scoring goals, picking up assists and keeping clean sheets, all at the same time.
All in all, Kolarov has finally started to make his mark on the City squad, and this is going to be highly beneficial for the team in the latter stages of the season.
It is now a wait to see just how many free kicks Kolarov scores this season.
