Coventry manager Frank Lampard has hailed a huge milestone for his squad after the team secured their first major Premier League victory of the campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest. The manager praised the resilience and character shown by his players throughout a tense, high-stakes fixture.
Facing a well-drilled Forest side required absolute tactical discipline, and the Sky Blues delivered when it mattered most, capitalizing on key moments to secure the maximum three points. Reflecting on the significance of the result, Lampard in a chat with Sky Sports, emphasized how vital getting that maiden top-flight win is for building belief and momentum within the dressing room as the grueling season continues. “I feel great, I feel amazing.
The way the players worked for it. Tough place to come we knew that having lost our first four games all in different circumstances it’s easy to think negatively and think where is the goal and where it the win coming from?” he said. “The reality in football is you have to fight for it, you have to work for it, you have to have organisation.
“I can go through so many players today and how they worked. You make your own luck in terms of VAR, I think it was a foul but when you work that hard I think the boys deserve it. It’s huge mentally for the team. “We are a team with a lot of players having their first stint in Premier League football.
Not everyone is a Wayne Rooney or a superstar that can just own it. This can now hopefully give us confidence. The boys today have shown they can do it.
