Darren Moore, the manager of Sheffield Wednesday, has urged his team to "embrace the moment" as they prepare for their upcoming Sky Bet League One Play-Off Final.
The Owls overcame a four-goal deficit in the first leg of their semifinal match against Peterborough to win 5-3 on penalties, and they did so in thrilling fashion to advance to Monday's final.
With promotion to the Championship on the line, their victory sets up a matchup versus Barnsley at Wembley, and Moore is anticipating the moment between the South Yorkshire rivals.
"With two clubs so close together, it's a Wembley final, two teams from Yorkshire competing for that last spot to get up into the championship," he said during a press conference prior to the game.
We're just paying attention to the game, living in the moment, and looking forward to it.We must embrace this moment and this time, as I told the players, because you are not embracing the moment in time alone.
We have a huge contingent of supporters with us, along with the coaching staff and players. On Monday, we'll witness the unity we've always upheld throughout the season.
Moore emphasized that he is preparing for it like "a normal game" despite acknowledging how unique it is to play at Wembley.
These current times should be cherished, savored, and remembered because they are unique times, he continued.
"I said that the wonderful aspect of this for the players is that you don't stand there alone. I don't have this as a lone figure as a manager because I feel like I have a multitude that is with me."We're all in this together—players, staff—so we're all coming at this from the same angle.My advice has always been clear: savor the occasion and embrace it. Internally, the club has been organizing and preparing like it would for a typical match.
"The game, where we get to compete and contend, will soon be upon us on Monday."
