Ipswich Defender Ben Johnson Reflects on Settling In and Upcoming Match

Ipswich defender Ben Johnson spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk about his initial months as a player for the Town club. He admitted, “I didn’t realise how difficult it would be to settle in. I thought I would just come in and hit the ground running, but that’s life if it doesn’t happen like that.” Johnson noted a recent improvement in his performance, adding, “I feel like I’ve come in for the last few games and taken my opportunity. I’ve come in and the rhythm and form has picked up. I feel like I am fully settled now.” Johnson also expressed his commitment to Ipswich, stating, “It’s just about wanting to come here and be committed to this club. I really see a vision and see great things from the players and the staff. It’s something I want to be a part of, just giving my all and playing for the team is important to me.” Regarding the upcoming Sunday game against Manchester United, Johnson commented, “It’s going to be a great game, probably one of the most televised games this season because it’s massive when United come to town. Their new manager is very good and is going to implement a lot of great stuff.” He further discussed playing at Portman Road, saying, “We’re playing at Portman Road. It can be intimidating at times but it’s a great stadium and we love to play there. It’s going to be a great game regardless of what happens. It’s always a great feeling when you play against the biggest clubs in the world.”
