In the 22nd week of the England Championship, Southampton faced Coventry City, managed by Frank Lampard.
DREW WITH 10 MEN
Coventry City managed to leave the match with a 1-1 score despite being reduced to 10 men in the 47th minute. After the final whistle, Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard turned to his fans to celebrate the result.
OPPOSING PLAYERS CHASED LAMPARD
Due to Lampard's joy and reactions, some Southampton players reacted to the English coach, approaching him and chasing the young manager. Following this incident, tensions rose between the players of both teams on the field, leading to a brief scuffle.
"THIS IS MY RIGHT!"
Speaking about the incidents that occurred after the match, Lampard stated, "It's not a problem; I understand a player defending his team in front of his own fans, but there is a situation today where fans can say anything to you in the last 10 minutes, and you are not allowed to express your emotions on the field. I am like this; I show my emotions openly, and I am a bit calmer now. I apologize for the language I used; perhaps I should also apologize for the language they used in the stands. I have completely forgotten this incident; I got a little angry. Sometimes you endure for 99 minutes and watch what the players do; we experienced the match with them. I went onto the field and celebrated; this is my right! I can reflect on this later, but as I said, fans can say things, but we are the ones fighting on the field."
