Crystal Palace forward, Micheal Olise after winning goal of the month award for January through his well taken 25 yard free kick, has gotten some accolades from his coach. Nigeriasoccenet.com reports.

The first-team coach Kristian Wilson spoke of his enjoyment coaching the No.7 revealing how the hardworking Olise has been.

It’s a real privilege [to coach him], to be quite honest, because Michael has a tendency to stay behind after every training session.” Krstian said on Crystal Palace website.

“Generally speaking, Michael and Ebs [Ebere Eze] work together [on their set-pieces], but he’ll set the wall up accordingly, he’ll look at the position of where the set-play needs to be taken from, and then he’s just working on the execution of the technique.

“Michael already knows what techniques to us, so I don’t need to tell him how to do this and that – generally speaking, they’re the things he works on: refining the technique and it’s repetition. That repetition becomes a skill which he gets to execute on the big stage, and he scores, so all credit to him.

“Whether it’s with the fitness people or the coaches inside, he always wants to do more – it’s never enough for him – so with that kind of mindset, he’s always going to give himself the best chance possible.”

With Crystal Palace trailing 1-0 in injury-time against Manchester United at Selhurst Park last month, Olise stepped up to curl in a magnificent free-kick from over 25 yards, the ball clipping the underside of the bar as it sailed past David de Gea into the top corner.

The goal has brought Olise accolades, more award nominations and now commendation from his coach.
