Ferguson's Glentoran open with a battling point at leaders Coleraine

Duncan Ferguson's Glentoran opened with a 1-1 draw at Coleraine, the Irish Premiership leaders, and the manager admitted relief at getting the first game done. Jordan Stewart headed a late equaliser two minutes from the end after Joel Cooper's opener; the Ballymena fixture had been postponed by a waterlogged pitch.

Duncan Ferguson começou seu reinado no Glentoran com empate por 1-1 no campo do Coleraine, líder da Premiership norte-irlandesa, e admitiu que foi um alívio tirar o primeiro jogo do caminho. “Futebol é futebol. Eu treinei na Premier League, treinei na Escócia e treinei aqui”, disse sobre a descida de nível.

A chegada dele foi a contratação mais comentada da liga norte-irlandesa nos últimos anos, e a expectativa foi dominada por um vídeo viral em que ele procurava a senha do WiFi pelo Oval. A estreia contra o Ballymena United havia sido adiada por causa do gramado alagado, então a viagem à costa norte virou a apresentação dele.

O Glentoran se defendeu por boa parte do primeiro tempo e ficou atrás quando Joel Cooper acertou um belo chute de fora da área. Melhorou depois do intervalo, pressionando mais alto e arriscando mais, e empatou com justiça a dois minutos do fim, com Jordan Stewart de cabeça.

“É um alívio. No fim do dia você está sob pressão”, disse Ferguson. “Meu primeiro jogo não aconteceu com o Ballymena, e de repente meu jogo seguinte é fora de casa contra o líder da liga. Os garotos jogaram muito e encheram o clube de orgulho.”

Ele aceitou que o time esteve “passivo demais na nossa forma” antes do intervalo, mas sentiu que igualou o Coleraine depois. “Viemos ao melhor time da liga e no segundo tempo senti que fomos de igual para igual com eles”, acrescentou, dizendo que teria assinado o empate antes.

Ferguson se apoiou em Elliott Morris e Andy Matheson para conhecer a divisão, assistiu ao Coleraine bater o Crusaders em Seaview e a um jogo do Glentoran sub-20 durante a semana, e agora se prepara para a viagem ao Carrick Rangers. “Não é só questão de tática, é de fogo, determinação e de correr”, disse.
