One step at a time for Carlos Corberan and Huddersfield

Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan is not getting carried away at the prospect of playing at Wembley as his side prepare to face Luton in the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-finals.

The Terriers ended the regular Championship campaign as one of the in-form teams heading into the play-offs after winning six of their last seven games, helping them to a third-placed finish behind the promoted duo of Fulham and Bournemouth.

Town were last promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs in the 2016-17 season, when they defeated Reading in a penalty shoot-out, but Corberan is only focused on the primary task in hand against Luton on Friday.

The 39-year-old told a press conference: “It (playing at Wembley) is not something that’s in our minds.

“We’re going to play a very strong and competitive team over 180 minutes and we know we need to perform at our best level for two games over 90 minutes, and in our minds there is no time to be thinking about the future, we need to think about the present.

“When you analyse the teams that we could have played in the play-off, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest or Luton, the only team that we did not win playing away to was Luton, this is one key example.

“I know how difficult it will be, my players know exactly the same and we know that if we have any chance of getting to Wembley we need to perform on Friday at our best level.

Friday’s encounter at Kenilworth Road will be the second time Corberan has been involved in the play-offs.

The first time came in 2019 as an assistant manager to Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds when they were beaten 4-3 on aggregate by Derby in the semi-final, despite taking a 1-0 lead from Pride Park in the first leg.

However, even though dark memories remain of that
