In a surprise victory in the 4th round of the English Premier League, Nottingham Forest beat the mighty Liverpool on the road with a score of 1-0. After the match, Nottingham Forest's player Erlanga was interviewed by the British media to share his thoughts and feelings about the match.
Erlanga began by emphasizing the good atmosphere in the team and the efforts made since preseason: "The atmosphere in our team has been good since the start of preseason. We brought in new players early on and everyone quickly integrated into the family. That unity and understanding was evident today as we knew it wouldn't be easy to beat Liverpool at their home ground."
On today's win, Erlanga said it was a special experience, "Today's win reminded us of that game at Chelsea's home ground last season (Nottingham Forest also beat Chelsea 1-0). That feeling of winning at the home of a strong team is really special, we worked hard for it and today our efforts paid off."
Eranga also revealed a conversation he had with teammate Odoi on the bench: "We talked a lot with Odoi when we were on the bench. We said, 'When we come on, we will make a difference.' That's the confidence we have in ourselves and in the team. Today, when we were substituted, we did do that and brought a key contribution to the team."
On the future of the team, Erlanga keeps a clear head: "Although we have started the season well, we must realize that 35 games await us next. Every game is a new challenge and we can't afford to let up. Last season we played well against strong teams with a small gap. Today we proved it again, we played decisively and with confidence."
In conclusion, Erlanga called on the entire team to keep the momentum going, "We have to keep this good form and team spirit going, one game at a time. I believe that if we work together, nothing is impossible."
