Rob Edwards, head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers, spoke out after guiding his team to a win over Liverpool in the latest Premier League match.
Rob Edwards, manager of the "Wolves" Wolverhampton Wanderers, who sit 20th at the bottom of the table, said he was extremely pleased with his team's performance after they defeated the "Reds" Liverpool 2-1 at home in the English Premier League last night. He said beating such an excellent team as Liverpool calls for maximum celebration.
Edwards said, "We have beaten a club like Liverpool, no matter our position in the standings. Every time we beat them, we have to fully enjoy that moment. They are an excellent football club with a great manager and many talented players. So yes, it was a very big night for us."
"What we are trying to do is develop. We aim to build momentum. We know our position, but when you see the energy around the stadium, you have to enjoy it."
"We have shown commitment and spirit. Now we face several top teams, and for every player, whatever their goals—be it for themselves, the World Cup, their families, or to stay with the team next season—they have to perform well, and they have shown that."
"At first, we lacked confidence. It was hard to turn matches around. Our standards had to improve, and we had to train harder. Now, we are seeing the results of that hard work. We are a close-knit group, and I want everyone to feel involved."
"When the score was 1-1, if there was going to be another goal, you would expect it to be from Liverpool. But in the end, it was us who scored, and that made me very happy. We truly looked like a threat on the counterattack."
"We just want to keep improving. We are doing that now. There is good energy and confidence that we are heading in the right direction. Whatever happens, we will keep fighting until the 38th game."
Speaking about the upcoming match against Liverpool again in the FA Cup this Friday, he said, "We made them angry, so we know Friday will definitely be a tough game."
