Xabi Alonso Explains Why Chelsea Hired Set-Piece Coach Austin MacPhee
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso says the appointment of set-piece specialist Austin MacPhee is part of the club's effort to improve in every department and compete for the Premier League title. Alonso said MacPhee's Premier League experience will help the coaching staff adapt quickly to English football. He added that retaining staff members with knowledge of the league is important when preparing to win matches consistently. Chelsea moved for MacPhee after a difficult season defending corners. The Blues scored 10 league goals from corners but conceded 11. MacPhee built a strong reputation during his time at Aston Villa, where the team became highly effective from dead-ball situations. Chelsea's pre-season win over AC Milan offered an early sign of the new approach, with two set-piece goals contributing to a 3-0 victory.
