Norwich City’s poor form continued as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sunderland, leaving them with just one win in nine matches. With the pressure mounting on head coach David Wagner, the team’s performance against Sunderland showcased the familiar pattern of defensive errors and a lack of resilience. Despite taking the lead initially, Norwich were unable to maintain their advantage and succumbed to a resurgent Sunderland side who had failed to win any of their previous three matches.
The form of Norwich City is now at a critical stage, as they find themselves just three points above Huddersfield in 21st place and have experienced a significant drop in the Championship table. Hwang Ui-jo, who scored his first Norwich goal since joining on loan from Nottingham Forest on Deadline Day, believes that the main issue for the team is a lack of confidence. He acknowledges that results are crucial in football and that the team needs to focus on gaining points in order to reverse their dismal form.
Hwang also highlights the different roles and responsibilities within the team, stating that as a striker, scoring goals increases his own confidence. However, he recognizes that the confidence of other players may be influenced by different factors. Reflecting on the game against Sunderland, Hwang reveals that the team tried a different formation and initially performed well, scoring a goal in the first half. However, the ease with which they conceded two goals demonstrated their vulnerability.
Despite their struggles, Hwang remains optimistic and emphasizes the importance of confidence in football. He believes that the team needs to continue training and playing with a focus on their own style of play. Hwang stresses the need to keep moving forward and to maintain a positive mindset. He hopes that in the upcoming games, Norwich will be able to avoid conceding goals and strive for a clean sheet. Ultimately, Hwang’s message is clear – the team must continue to work hard and display confidence in order to turn their season around.
