I think the lads were fantastic; absolutely greedy, absolutely sharp. In the first 20 minutes, we were all over them, pressing, counter-pressing and we scored a world-class goal and my gut feeling is that, if it had been 11 vs 11, it would have been a pretty long night for Bournemouth. They have unbelievable experience and once they are in overload, it's difficult against them.
The promotion two years ago was fantastic because it was a bunch of young lads and no one expected us to be near the top six and we won this league with nearly points, nearly goals and also a fantastic brand of football.
But as a club, we were not prepared for the Premier League level. We didn't risk the future of our club with spending an unbelievable amount of money for a self-funding club. I'm not sure if this has happened at Championship level before. Two record seasons for the club would be something historical and these lads deserve everything so we will go for it. Here's what some key members of the Norwich squad had to say when they spoke to Sky Sports after the defeat to Bournemouth Emi Buendia : "It's unbelievable to be promoted again.
It was a tough and hard season for every one of us and to get promoted with five games to go is unbelievable. I'm very happy. At the beginning, we were struggling with some results, but then we were flying. Normally, I give him the assists, but today he made a brilliant pass for me. I enjoy every minute with him.
Teemu Pukki : "It's a big thing. We really wanted to prove ourselves again and today we are finally back in the Premier League. Two years ago, we were the underdogs and maybe no one believed in us, but it has been different this year and we were favourites to win.
Kenny McLean : "We have deserved promotion, per cent. Tonight, the way we started was outstanding and we were well on top, but it wasn't the officials' night, as well as ours. We'll try and put it to bed and enjoy ourselves, but there are still some games to go and we want to finish strong. Promotion is deserved because, up until now, we've been head and shoulders above the other teams in the league. Todd Cantwell : "It's massive and it's not an easy task to get relegated from the top division and then bounce straight back up.
It's disappointing this evening, but can can go home smiling knowing we've gone up. Norwich City reporter Connor Southwell pinkun. Those were Daniel Farke's words on the success his side have conjured up this season.
They have dominated the Championship and, in the end, cruised to promotion. Behind the scenes, this was part of the plan. But even the eternal optimists didn't predict a campaign as successful as this. Last summer, as Todd Cantwell was pictured sobbing on the turf of Carrow Road, City had lost 10 consecutive top-flight games. Their season had swirled down the plughole in a painful and dejecting fashion. Many feared a hangover. Many feared Farke wouldn't be able to reproduce the brand of football that captured supporter's hearts two years ago.
With candid words and savvy recruitment, City began to play with freedom. They retained the swashbuckling Max Aarons and the wizardry of Emi Buendia.
They convinced the prolific Teemu Pukki to stick around. There were just six weeks between the end of a horrible Premier League campaign and the beginning of the new season. Given Farke's style relies so heavily on the implicit trust of his squad, to construct one of the best teams this division has ever seen is no mean feat.
Farke lifted his team to produce football the division has seldom seen before. There has been a defensive base. A group of supporters started AFC Wimbledon in Both clubs are currently in League One.
