## Resource

Coventry City captain Matt Grimes joins Ben and Tom after leading the club back to the Premier League. He opens up on why staying up would be an even bigger achievement than promotion, just how relentless the Championship really is, and what it takes to captain a club with huge expectations. Matt also reveals what Frank Lampard is really like behind the scenes, why his arrival was such a statement of intent, leaving Swansea when it was never part of the plan, promotion celebrations, dressing-room responsibilities and plenty more. With Coventry preparing to begin their Premier League season against Arsenal, this is a fascinating look inside the step up from the Championship to the top flight. Learn more about your ad choices.
