Vitor Matos | We need to approach this game with hunger

Head coach Vitor Matos wants to see no let-up in the hunger and desire from his players over the remainder of the season, starting with this afternoon’s Good Friday trip to take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

The Swans make the Easter trip to take on the Blades following defeats to Wrexham and Coventry prior to the international break.

Preparations for the resumption of Championship action have not been ideal, with international fixtures and the resulting travel meaning there has been limited time for Matos and his staff with their full squad.

Nevertheless, the Portuguese is clear on what he expects from his players in south Yorkshire, and across the final weeks of the campaign.

“Of course, we want to get back to winning games, it’s something that you need to work for,” he said.

“It’s important that we not only address this next game and the one on Monday (against Middlesbrough), but how we approach and understand this last part of the season, that we need to get everything we can out of it.

“That’s the most important thing, to have that right mentality and right mindset, game by game.

“So we need to approach Sheffield United with hunger and desire, they are a really good team with players that have played in the Premier League, and a manager with a lot of experience who makes sure his teams are really well organised.

“They are strong at home and we need to be fighting for everything to get back to our way, and we want to start that in Sheffield.”
