Thibaut Courtois reveals what Guus Hiddink ordered his Chelsea players to practise
THIBAUT COURTOIS has revealed
that Guus Hiddink has ordered his misfiring Chelsea back in for shooting
practise – and it is beginning to pay off.
Dutch
master Hiddink celebrated his first win as Chelsea interim manager
since succeeding Jose Mourinho, as his team crushed Crystal Palace 3-0
at Selhurst Park to make it four games unbeaten now.
Goals
from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa – his third in his last two matches
after just four strikes in the first five months of the campaign,
produced only the second league away win of the season for Chelsea.
Player
of the season Willian has so far netted eight goals, but fellow
Brazilian Oscar, a revitalized player in the last few weeks, has scored
two goals in four games.
Goalkeeper
Courtois has revealed that it is because Hiddink has demanded that his
team get their shooting boots on. The Belgian said: “The manager has
said some different things that he wants us to do. The training is
different.
“Sometimes
it's a bit more tactical or a bit less. There are different type of
little games we play - or sometimes more shooting on goal to give
confidence to the strikers.”
