Carlos Corberán | Defeats have to motivate us to be better
4th October
Carlos Corberán insists Albion will be using recent back-to-back defeats against Sheffield Wednesday and
Middlesbrough as “growth motivation.”
After six games, the Baggies led the Sky Bet Championship standings after winning five and drawing one. Nevertheless, they have since experienced back-to-back losses in the second division, so they will be motivated to get a win when Millwall visits town on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).
The manager, who firmly believes that there can be no “joy” in football without “suffering,” also talked about how every game has a “message” that gives teams a chance to do better moving ahead, whether they have won or lost.
When the Lions visit The Hawthorns this weekend, Carlos insists Albion will never accept defeat and he wants to see his team respond.
Arriving at the West Midlands with a record of two wins, two draws, and four losses from their first eight games, Millwall’s opponents were defeated 1-0 at Cardiff City in the middle of the week.
The interaction was characterized by Corberán as a “proper” Championship test.
“They haven’t won away yet, but we hadn’t lost at home before Tuesday night, so we cannot look at statistics. Every game needs to be viewed as a brand-new, unique challenge.
“Our matchup with Millwall was really tough for us last season. Both of our games ended in draws.
They are very quick to transition and very active in the press this season.
“I will never discuss how simple a game is for us in this division. We’ll never have an easy game in this division, which is why I find the Championship so thrilling.
“We are more equipped mentally to tackle this issue. The truth of the Championship, where any side can defeat any team, is what the past week has demonstrated.
“This is a true championship examination. Millwall is a distinct entity. They are good at set-pieces and they are combative in defence.”
