Lampard: It was a good lesson for Coventry to see the level of the Premier League champions

The head coach of Coventry, Frank Lampard, commented on the defeat of his team in the match of the opening round of the Premier League against Arsenal (0:3). "Obviously it was a big challenge. A fantastic team and it was a good lesson for our lads to see that level. They played like champions. It was a difficult game for us, but the experience gained in this stadium, in this atmosphere at the start of the match and against a team of this quality, will probably benefit us. When you concede goals, it's not good for us and that's the reality. You'll see more from us than that. Arsenal will beat a lot of teams here. There were some moments that I enjoyed. Guys deserve more. Our support has been incredible. They understand that we lost the match and will learn from it. Arsenal's first touch in the box only came on 60 minutes? Not every game will look like this. This is an Arsenal team inspired by where they are now. Adaptation to the Premier League? It is difficult. Leeds came here in the first leg, lost and stayed in the Premier League. I'm not jumping to any conclusions. We will have to adapt. A few years ago, this club was in League 2 and played in a different stadium. When we arrived, the team was 17th in the league. The boys stepped up, the team stepped up and the connection with the fans was incredible. The fans have become a huge force for us. It should continue to be like this, and the boys should give everything," Lampard was quoted as saying by the broadcaster.
