Lang's Goal Fuels Pompey's Fight: Fratton Park Formula Found?

Portsmouth's Callum Lang scored his first goal of the season on Saturday, securing a crucial equalizer that helped his team overcome Blackburn. The 2-1 victory at Fratton Park ended a recent three-match losing streak, providing a much-needed boost and moving the club away from the relegation zone. Lang stressed the team's desire to make their home ground a difficult place for opponents once again.

Lang, playing his first full 90 minutes this campaign, noted the relief the win provided and the importance of regaining strong home form. He emphasized that a negative mindset is easy when struggling, but focusing on the task and trusting the manager's instructions are paramount. The second-half performance, particularly the successful pressing strategy, has instilled significant confidence.

He further elaborated that sticking to their core principles, especially being a team that is difficult to play through off the ball, is essential. Lang believes that an aggressive performance is characteristic of a successful Pompey side. He is optimistic that this win marks the beginning of an improved home record and hopes to pull more teams into a similar difficult situation.
