Nottingham Forest go welcome Arsenal for City Ground this weekend, but before that Premier League match, head coach Oliver Glasner don turn to Chris Wood for help as the club dey struggle to score goals.
Nottingham Forest be the second-lowest scorers for Premier League. Dem get third-most shots for the top flight but dem dey rank 19th in conversion rate, and dem don score five fewer goals than their expected goals. That na why the squad dey work on finishing for training this week.
Glasner tell Sky Sports say as e dey explain to the team wetin dem go do, Chris Wood stand next to am, so e hand the talk over to Wood. According to am, Wood don score almost 200 goals in England, including 92 in the Premier League. Glasner ask: “Who can talk more about scoring goals than Chris Wood can? Because I didn’t score any goals in the Premier League. I scored 20 in my entire career.”
Wood, 34, take small coaching role for that moment. Glasner say e love the message wey Wood give the team: “Never lose your confidence in your ability.” Wood also tell dem say there is always another chance around the corner, and Glasner agree say na exactly how e be: you wait for the next one, then you take the next opportunity to get your goal.
Glasner dey under spotlight. Nottingham Forest get same league record as this time last season, and e don win just one of im first seven matches in all competitions. But e talk say e no need to provide every solution by imself. “I would be completely stupid if I didn’t use the experience and the quality we have in our team,” e talk. “We all want the same, we all want to be successful and we are together. It doesn’t always mean that the manager has the answers to everything.
