Jorgen Strand Larsen has expressed his determination and optimism following a challenging match for Wolves against the Premier League champions. Despite suffering a last-minute defeat, Larsen remains focused on the positives and is eager for the team to channel their resilience into future performances.
Jorgen Strand Larsen said, “We’re playing against the best team in the world probably at the moment, so it’s difficult but we have to take the positives, and now hopefully we can put those eight games behind us and look forward. There are 30 games more to play, and we’re going to be hungrier than ever. Our game plan was top notch but in the end, it’s just quality that kills us. We also had a chance with Nelson and a chance in the second half as well. So, we were a bit unlucky to not score one more. If we go 2-0 up, it’s easier. It hurts a lot. We worked really good for 95 minutes and in some ways we deserved more. We know that City are going to have more of the ball, create chances and get momentum, but I think we defended well with the five. Then, at the end, when it’s 1-1 with one second left to play, you take a point home. But that’s football. That’s where we are at the moment, but we just have to take the good bits from it. I think the gaffer points it out well after the game that we have to take the positives. It’s always nice to score. Of course, you score and you have dreams of taking three points, but we got really close today. The points are what matters for me, but always nice to grab a goal as well. I was so tired when I came off, I couldn’t continue running. So, we gave it all, all of us. I think that we could have deserved a little bit more.”
