“I also do opposition analysis on the opponents we are going to play over the weekend or in two weeks; I delve into that, get their footage, and check their trends and behaviour.
“With set pieces, in the modern game, they contribute to the 40% of goals per season. So I work on that as well, and so far, so good because it’s something I’m passionate about and still need to grow in it.”
