Ipswich's home match against Manchester City in the 22nd round of the English Premier League came to an end with a score of 0-6 in the early hours of the morning. After the match, Ipswich defender O'Shea faced the Sky Sports cameras and shared his insights on the game.
O'Shea began by expressing his disappointment with the result: "We really can't believe this result, it's just a painful blow. In the confrontation, we seemed to lack that firmness, while the other side captured the chances keenly. Against such a strong opponent, once we conceded the first goal, we were in trouble."
He then gave an insight into his team's performance: "We didn't execute our tactics as well as we should have, and this was especially evident against Manchester City. They are a very strong team and we didn't play at our best today. We were expecting a better self-assessment, but obviously we didn't get there."
Even with the setback, O'Shea remains confident: "We have to pick ourselves up, take stock of what went wrong in this loss and get back on the road. The key thing is to learn the lessons and not let this defeat affect our mood. We have full confidence in this team and the club and believe we can overcome the difficulties and feel the joy of victory again."
Speaking about the upcoming match, O'Shea expressed his anticipation: "Next week we will be away to Liverpool, which is a crucial game for us. The fans were passionate with their support at our Portman Road stadium today and it is imperative that we repay their faith with a great performance. We will be united and give our best to try and show a better version of ourselves in the next game."
