In a dramatic 2-1 reversal battle, Nottingham Forest beat Aston Villa in their own home ground, Erlanga's fatal strike became the key to turn the tide. After the match, Erlanga poured out his inner excitement and feelings in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Elanga commented on his team and individual performances to himself, "This season, I believe I have more potential. I pride myself on being an effective goal scorer and just staying in the right positions. Today, the team's performance was impeccable and Villa's tenacity is to be commended, it was a real contest."
Talking about the challenging nature of the game, Erlanga confessed, "As a player, I am eager to participate in every game and want to contribute to the team even when I am not on the field. It was really not easy to tear apart Villa's defense today, but we cleverly found their gaps and eventually won."
Recalling the strike, Eranga smiled and said, "We practiced multiple runs over and over again in training and in hindsight, that shot was quite accurate. Martinez (Villa's goalkeeper) was impeccable, he made a fantastic save, but we still broke through their defense."
Erlanga also candidly analyzed his room for growth: "I think I have the potential to improve in many areas. I can be faster and stronger, I'm far from being the perfect player. The manager always expects me to go further and I aspire to become a better player. I am my own toughest judge and all I need to do is keep working hard and keep showing great performances."
Finally, speaking about the team's current ranking and future outlook, Erlanga was confident: "Nottingham Forest in fourth place? That's unbelievable and I hope we can keep it up. It's a long season and I just hope the fans enjoy the journey and let's all cheer the team on."
