Emil Rees: We showed good form, but there are still many areas that need improvement.

Emil Rees stated that although Leicester City secured 3 points with a victory over Stockport in the last round, the team still has many areas to improve and is now focusing on this weekend's match against Barnsley. Last weekend, in the League One match, Leicester City experienced a rollercoaster ride at Edgeley Park, ultimately winning 4-3 against Stockport.  

In a post-match interview, Emil Rees said, "The final stages of the game were really nerve-wracking, but we ultimately withstood the opponent's attacks and showed a strong fighting spirit. These three points are very important to us, and it feels great to win. When we were leading 4-1, we hoped to finish the game comfortably, but unfortunately, the opponent scored two goals in quick succession, making the situation tense again."  

"In this match, we brought out what we lacked last week. The players were willing to give their all for each other, actively clearing the ball, and also did a great job in winning second balls. We lacked these qualities last week, and this time, when the game entered the final stages and the team was under great pressure, we really showed them."  

“I think the team did a lot of good work today. Of course, there are still many areas where we need to improve, but we did show very good form at certain stages of the game. If we can maintain this positive performance and make adjustments to our weaknesses, I believe the team will perform better and better overall.”  

The 28-year-old striker finally scored his first goal for Leicester City, completing a brace in the same match. With two calm and precise shots, Emil Rees showcased his finishing ability in front of goal, leaving a deep impression on the Leicester City fans who traveled with the team. Now, he hopes to continue his goal-scoring form and contribute more goals for the team.  

Speaking about his first goal for Leicester City, Emil Rees said: "Of course, it's always very happy to score your first goal. It feels really great to score your first goal for the club, and it's a special moment for me."  

"The second goal might have been more spectacular, but if I had to choose between the two, I would still prefer the first one. When the ball bounced up, I noticed that the goalkeeper had already come out, so I naturally chipped the ball over him. After seeing the goalkeeper's position, I quickly determined my shooting method."  

"Whether inside or outside the penalty area, I believe I have the ability to shoot. Whenever I see the goal, I usually choose to shoot directly. It felt great to see the ball go into the goal this time. The fans here gave us a lot of encouragement today. It felt so good to score twice in front of them and celebrate with them. That's what we wanted to give our fans."
