London: So, Daniel Munoz is almost a year into his time at Crystal Palace, and wow, has he made a mark! His recent performances really show how much he’s grown in the team.
Remember that match against Bournemouth on Boxing Day? Munoz was missed big time. He’s been a regular at right wing-back, and his absence was felt. Since joining, especially after Olise’s move to Bayern, he’s stepped up his game.
In the recent 1-1 draw with Chelsea, it was clear how much the team relies on him and Sarr. Munoz was often ahead of the midfielders, pushing the attack. Manager Glasner couldn’t stop praising their partnership, highlighting their speed and direct play.
He mentioned how they create opportunities by switching play, making it tough for the opposition. It’s all about that high intensity, and Munoz is right in the thick of it.
After 19 games this season, he’s got two goals and an assist, but honestly, he’s done so much more. His defensive stats are impressive too. He’s made 71 tackles, way more than his teammate Mitchell, and he’s doing it all over the pitch, not just in defense.
Even when he doesn’t win the ball, he disrupts the other team’s flow. His hustle led to the equalizer against Chelsea, showing just how crucial he is to the squad.
As he approaches 29, it’s clear he’s catching the eye of clubs everywhere. His work rate is top-notch, and he’s definitely exceeded expectations since joining. With his contract running until 2027, it’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
