Frank Lampard says it is not time now to get down about the semi-final loss of the first match of his Play-off-off championship in the first match against Sunderland.
Sky Blues – who ended the fifth, seven points after their opponents during the regular season – dominated the ball at Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday evening, but were held at wing length by the defensive team of Regis Le Bris.
And, though Jack Rudon canceled Wilson Isido’s opening within two minutes for her to hit the back of the net, Milan Van Ewijk’s Backpass Backpass Eliezer The Fitner, who puts black cats in the car before Tuesday match in the stadium, who is directly, who is directly, who is directly, who is directly, who is directly, who is directly, Heavenly.
“It was a good show from the team,” he said. “We pushed and pushed, and overwhelmed the ball possession. We are unfortunate to be one after entering the second game.
“We played here six, seven weeks ago or more and, with the way we played, I understand it as a coach, you want to go out and deny the spaces we want, so we controlled a lot of it.
“I can’t complain with the players as to the low block. You can tell you to move it faster, do it, do it. It’s not easy. It’s not easy against it.
“And they defended their box really well. Sometimes you just say well to the opposition.
“If you have eight bodies in the box and you’re passing it out, it’s hard. We protected well and on another day things go for you over 90 minutes. They didn’t go well for us tonight.
“Will the game look like on Tuesday? I’m not sure. So it’s certainly not time for us to go down a lot for that.”
In the mistake of Van Ewijk, who left the Dutch defender in tears after the last whistle, he said: “We have no need to talk about it now. He has been great for us.”
Lampard remembered for the 2018/19 season, when his team in Derby lost 1-0 to Leeds in the first semi-final match of the Pride Park championship, but scored four goals of the second half exciting foot to win 4-3 in the aggregate.
However, he did not want to withdraw in comparisons.
“It has nothing to do with it because this is another group of players we have,” he added.
“They are another group of players. This is another game. I understand your opinion but has nothing to do with it. That’s the past.
“It will be a difficult game for us, but it is still very still, very close.
“We go back on Tuesday. Simple.”
Morrison: Coventry should go on the second leg safe
Clinton Morrison at Sky Sports Football:
“They are still in this. They prevailed in possession. They didn’t create as much as they wanted, but the game will open at the Light Stadium and they will simply go to the confidence.
“What they have achieved there is a manager who knows what he is talking about. He will put them down, rest and he will not be critical of them.
“But he has to take van ewijk because he was in tears in the end. Everyone makes mistakes, but he has to recover and go again.”
Davies: Both goals were so avoidable
Curtis Davies in Sky Sports Football:
“The difference with Derby’s scenario is that Leeds came and beat Derby (in the first match) and you think it will be the same in the second. They beat us three times that season, and you think you go to Elland Road will be an uphill task.
“While his team tonight has dominated, and in my opinion the two goals are so avoidable. For Van Ewijk it has to do with his character and what he shows in training. If he makes a mistake in the next match he could pass.”
