We are reluctant but not afraid
Southampton, Beritasatu.com – Southampton coach Russel Martin revealed the readiness of his team ahead of facing Manchester City in the Premier League, Saturday (26/10/2024). The Soton coach does not deny that the opponent they are facing is one of the strongest teams in England’s top competition at the moment.
Even so, he said the Southampton players did not feel inferior in dealing with the opponent’s strength. Apart from that, tonight’s match will be played at the Etihad Stadium, City’s home ground.
“In my view, the challenge for us is to prove how much courage we have on the field. “We will continue to try to create opportunities to win, otherwise the match will be pointless,” said Martin.
He said that in the training session ahead of the match, Flynn Downes and his friends were required to be more careful in making decisions. For him, this was more important than encouraging his team to defend a total of 90 minutes.
In this way, the Saints players, nicknamed Southampton, are expected to be smart in taking opportunities. Especially if this opportunity could result in a shot towards the City goal which might result in a goal.
“We will try to build momentum for ourselves. “At least, whatever the result, we feel like we are giving everything in the match,” said Martin.
Southampton is currently at the bottom of the Premier League standings. They have only collected one point from eight match weeks, namely in the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town last September.
