Reporter: Now that you've played a few Academy games, how does it compare to the level of competition you came from?
Chambers: Obviously, the overall level of competition is higher and the quality of the players is much better. For me, the biggest difference is how good the coaching is and how organized everything is. I came from a place where I played more open and fluidly and let my talent carry me on the field. Now I have a lot more to think about and pay attention to. More details.
Reporter: This is your third straight game with a goal off a set piece. Can you explain your recent success on corner kicks?
Chambers: There are a lot of things that contribute to that. I think the biggest was the addition of Nootazuki up front. I don't know how he does it, but he's been great at putting the ball in a spot where I can get up and get my head on it. It's been a great connection so far. Hopefully we can keep it up.
Reporter: Speaking of Jinchou, how has his addition affected the team?
Chambers: He's been great. We needed some help up front, someone who can put the ball in the net. It really takes some pressure off us in the back.
Reporter: As I mentioned before, you're a few games into the season now. Is there an element of your game you have been working on to adapt to this league?
Chambers: I think I've adjusted pretty well so far. Of course, I'm trying to get a little quicker, a little faster. Other than that, I think my passing can get cleaned up a bit. I've been sloppy, maybe rushing at times. I can't be doing that, giving the ball away in bad spots.
