Our coach, fans gave us the fighting spirit -Iwobi
Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi has credited the half time talks by coach Marco Silva and the motivating support from their fans for their resurgence against Manchester City on Tuesday.
Though Fulham eventually lost 5-4 in the thrilling game, Iwobi said they almost statemated the score but disappointedly couldn't after coming from 5-1.
Iwobi scored in the 57th minute to make it 5-2 before two other goals from Samuel Chukwueze made it 5-4 in the 88th minute.
Reacting to the outcome of the match on the club website, Iwobi said “I feel disappointed because we didn't get anything out of the fighting spirit that we showed, but I think we have to take the positivity from the game,” the 29-year-old said as revealed by Fulham's official website.
“We showed that fighting spirit in the second half, but unfortunately, there's nothing to show for it.
“The manager spoke to us at halftime, saying one thing that we can't let our heads drop, no matter what happened and also do it for the fans.
“And to be fair, they were with us till the last minute of the game, so we put on a show for the people watching, but it wasn't the result we wanted.
“We fed off the fans, it was as if we had a 12th member on the pitch, that sort of feeling. They gave us the energy to attack,” Iwobi continued.
“Credit to them, but then credit to us too for that second half, and to everyone involved for enabling us to push until the last minute of the game.
“It wasn't that bad [my goal and finish], it's something I work with in training with a particular coach Colin Omogbehin.
“We work a lot in training, so credit to him and credit to me for pulling it off in the game.
