In the locker room during halftime, the Nottingham Forest players were a bit dejected. No one could accept the result of their opponent's equalizer towards the end of the first half.
"All right, don't think about that goal concede. It can't be helped..." Twain comforted them. "Instead of feeling frustrated about what's already over, think about how we still hit back in the second half!" He waved his fist in front of everyone.
"We took control of the initiative in the first half and the pace of the game was in our hands. Lampard's goal... It was an accident. There will always be accidents like this on the football field. But I want you to minimize the probability of it happening in the second half. If you look at the source of the goal concede, it wasn't an accident. Essien's sudden plug-in prevented us from reacting and let him run all the way to the front of our box for a long shot. You all thought he would cross, or divert the football to someone else, right?"
