Klar for Boxing Day

26. desember er den store fotballdagen i England. Også for Bolton Wanderers.

Tidligere har alle ligaene, med Premier League i spissen, hatt Boxing Day som årets fotballdag. Nå er Premier League ute, men de andre er klar. 

Se videointervju av Schumacher og målvakt Teddy Sharman-Lowe nederst i saken.

Boltons trener Steven Schumacher ser frem til hjemmekampen mot Rotherham United fredag 26.12 klokken 16.00.

– I’m definitely looking forward to it as I’ve never had a home league fixture on Boxing Day as a manager or a coach, so I can’t wait for that. There’s a special atmosphere about Boxing Day fixtures and hopefully there will be a really good crowd there, sier han til bwfc.co.uk/Wanderers TV.

Etter det knappe 2-1-tapet borte mot Wycombe Wanderers forrige lørdag, tror Schumacher at laget hans kan reagere positivt, ettersom de sikter mot å forlenge en ubeseiret hjemmeliga-rekord i 2025/26 og avansere på tabellen fra sin nåværende sjetteplass.

– We’ll try to focus on ourselves, we think we’ve got a good idea of the system that they’ll play, we’ve faced that system loads of times and if we can be dangerous from our attacking point of view and make sure that we are solid and don’t make mistakes at the back, then we should be fine because at home, we’ve created loads of chances and we’ve been able to capitalise on them chances and the points that we’ve got at home have been good.

We’re at full strength and ready to go.

– Steven Schumacher
