Shay Charles believes Fulham have learned from their previous experiences and hope to continue their momentum from last weekend's victory over Hull City, further improving the team's performance. In this match, Fulham completely dominated the game, and Shay Charles, anchoring the midfield, delivered a solid performance, contributing to the team's first win of the season.
Just a week earlier, Fulham conceded two late goals against Ipswich Town, ultimately falling short of victory. This win has helped the team shake off the gloom of their previous defeat. Shay Charles, speaking to the Premier League production team, said: “We played exceptionally well in this game. In fact, we’ve come closer and closer to winning in the last few games. Conceding goals late in the game was certainly disappointing, but it was a fantastic experience to win in front of our home fans.”
“I think we really learned a lot from the match against Ipswich. Near the end of that game, we conceded two goals in a row, and the team gradually lost control of the game. I understand that there is a difference between playing away and playing at home, but we should still play according to the established tactical approach, because that is what the coach requires of us. Against Hull City, we executed this plan very well and achieved the desired result.”
"This is an outstanding team, and everyone has diligently implemented the head coach's instructions. Now, we have finally secured our first victory of the season, and we can use this as a starting point to continue moving forward."
At just 22 years old, Shay Charles already has over 100 appearances in the Championship. He believes that as he gradually adapts to the pace and competitive environment of the top league, his performance on the field will become increasingly outstanding.
Shay Charles said: "There are significant differences between the Premier League and the Championship, and the playing styles are completely different. The players here are generally much stronger, and I'm still working on adapting. There are also many teams waiting for us to play against. However, at this stage, everything is progressing quite well."
"To be honest, I hope I can maintain my current good form, continue to work hard to solidify my position in the team, and do my best to help the team. I also look forward to scoring more goals and providing more assists, while gradually adapting to the Premier League environment, finding my own rhythm here, and fully demonstrating my playing style."
Speaking about the upcoming match, he said, "This is a very strong team. I faced them head-on last year during the Championship and witnessed their strength and their eventual promotion to a higher league."
"Most of their players have played together for many years, developed a strong understanding with each other, and successfully built a powerful team. This match is destined to be tough, especially since it's a home game, which has never been an easy place to play. However, I am still looking forward to this game."
