In a thrilling 2-1 Championship victory over Coventry City, Norwich City’s old guard put up a fierce fight to persuade Johannes Hoff Thorup to go for the jugular.
“It’s an excellent first goal,” he remarked. As a coach, I believe I can claim two percent of the credit for that goal; the rest is up to him. We wanted the left-footed player to be in that position because we recognized that there were certain openings, particularly in that pocket. However, the quality and accuracy of that finish are equally outstanding, and the second one is what we find most impressive.
“As soon as we score, my first thought is, ‘Okay, we switched positions. Our structure is different. We have a framework that is quite offensive. There are several attacking guys on our team. Now that the score is 1-1, how will our structure be?
After a little moment of celebration, you begin to consider, “All right, we need to provide some information here.” Then, when I first started to approach Kenny (McLean) and Shane (Duffy), they said, “Okay, we just have to go for it.” All we need to do is keep working toward the second objective.
“And I think I was a little more protective in my attitude to be fair to them. I replied, “Well, it’s probably one of those where we have to be content with the fact that it’s a draw and move on to the next one.” They wanted to push, nevertheless. Additionally, there are instances when you must resign from your position as coach.
Forson’s outstanding performance is probably going to win him FA Cup minutes in City’s third-round opener against Brighton. If the FA upholds his spitting accusation, Borja Sainz may start the first of a possible six-match suspension. Norwich’s deadline to reply is Tuesday.
Furthermore, Grant Hanley, who missed the Coventry comeback because of an injury, may return to the Seagulls.
Thorup stated, “I believe he will be out for approximately a week after receiving an injection in his Achilles tendon the other day.” “It would be beneficial if we could get him to play in the FA Cup.
“On Borja, I was totally focused on the team and the performance. I believe I will speak with Ben (Knapper), Neil (Adams), and the other directors tomorrow (Sunday) about how we approach that and what our message will be.
“But of course, it’s a serious one, and also one we have to take it seriously as a club, so it will probably be a statement from us within a couple of days”.
