Hupu reported on September 13 that Nottingham Forest lost to Arsenal 0-3. After the game, Nottingham Forest head coach Post Koglu was interviewed by TNT Sports.

About the match

"Obviously, this was a disappointing result for us. Arsenal itself is a strong team, and they are particularly competitive when playing at home.

"The players' efforts are unquestionable, but we have always struggled to control the rhythm of the game. The second goal conceded in the second half completely widened the gap between the opponent. The result was disappointing, but the efforts of the players were worthy of recognition. "

Talking about improving team performance through training

" To be fair, this week's training has been very disruptive. First, it was international match day, and the players didn't return until Thursday or Friday; and the team just welcomed a new coach - I'm trying to implement some new tactics and ideas.

"So the players may not be able to fully clarify their ideas yet, which is completely understandable. But in the next few weeks, my job is to help them gradually adapt and consolidate these new content. I believe we can do it, because these players are very willing to work hard for it."

Talking about the integration and performance of new players

"New players will have many opportunities, after all, we have many games in the next round - both the Carabao Cup and the European competition will also be started. The performance of several players who came on as substitutes today gave me great encouragement, which is also the club. The reason why the department signed them. However, they have been in the team for a short time. I believe that with more training and game opportunities, we will see what contribution they can make to the team. "

Talking about the coaching challenges they face

"The players' preparation status is not ideal, and this must be taken into consideration. What you can ask them is to give their all; but unfortunately, facing a strong opponent like Arsenal, we are really hard to match today.

"This group of players have proved last year that they will do their best for each other. Today’s failure is certainly frustrating, but there is only one way to respond to this setback (i.e., positive improvement).

"All coaching jobs are not easy, I have never taken over a simple task, but that's why I came here. I love challenges and we will eventually get to where we want to go."

Talking about Murillo's injury

"It seems like he was a minor impact, and I hope he can recover after a while."
