Onyeka Urges Coventry to Bounce Back After Southampton Defeat
Frank Onyeka has reacted to Coventry City’s 2–1 loss to Southampton in the EFL Championship.
The Nigerian midfielder, who joined Coventry in the January transfer window, had helped the team win six matches in a row before the game. However, he was unable to make a strong impact as Southampton secured a narrow victory.
Despite the defeat, Coventry remain top of the league table.
Speaking after the match, Onyeka encouraged his teammates to stay focused and move on quickly.
“It was a good game, but unfortunately, we could not get our win today. We had lots of chances which didn’t go in. It’s just one of those days. We have to pick ourselves up and go into the next game,” he said.
“The defeat isn’t something any player wants, but again, it’s one of those days where we have to accept what has happened and use it to fuel us in the next game.
“When we scored, we thought it was time to go for a point, but at the same time, there were other chances. It’s disappointing, but there’s nothing to dwell on here.
“I love playing here. From my first day at the club, I knew it was right. They welcomed me well, and I had my son here,” Onyeka added.
The midfielder says the team must respond strongly in their next fixture as they continue their push for promotion.
