The interim manager of the Saints: To end this season with dignity, the players must have the courage to take on Manchester City [jiayu]


Leisu Sports, May 9th: In the 36th round of the Premier League, Southampton will host Manchester City at St Mary's Stadium. Before the match, Southampton's interim manager Ross attended the press conference.

Regarding personnel information

Today, everyone's enthusiasm for training on the training ground is high. So far, I haven't received the latest news about injury notifications. However, as far as I know, the current injury list of the team is quite clean. Fernandez has just recovered not long ago and has been in good form in training this week. I hope he can give a good performance in the game on Saturday.

Regarding the last round's loss to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium

This defeat is heart-wrenching. When you achieve such a bad competition result, you will know that there is still a lot of work that you haven't done well. So, we can only keep working. We can't be victims and can't wallow in self-pity. The message I convey to the players is that all we can do is pay attention to our own behavior. In fact, everyone has a lot of reasons in the starting lineup, but what I ultimately told them was to go all out. But I hope my team members can quickly forget the pain of the defeat and get ready for the next competition.

About the competition

You must be full of confidence in what you do. We are playing at home. You must believe that you can gain something in the game. But you must achieve balance. Everyone knows what they have.

Regarding Manchester City and Guardiola

The opponent we are going to encounter might be the greatest team and the greatest head coach in the past 9 to 10 years. At their level, they should be disappointed for not winning or coming close to lifting the cup. However, when you look at the ability of this team, you will know to what extent we will be tested. What's important is that our players can't get themselves into fear in such a game. They need to go all out and show their best to the opponents.
