After a series of bad results (3 defeats and 2 draws), the West Ham he came back to win and so Julen Lopetegui he can still cling to the bench. The 4-1 success achieved overIpswich Town it was a strong signal that swept away the recent dark period that surrounded the Hammers and this in time for the national break.
The first words. “It’s always important to win at home. I’m happy for the fans and also for the players, because they deserve it. It was a difficult match, as all those in the Premier League are, but we did very well. We started very well, but we conceded the equalizer. I think we had an excellent mentality afterwards, we held firm and we deserved to score before conceding the second. On the last occasion of the first half – he continued to the club’s official microphones – we scored and in the second half we continued to move forward. We continued to look for goals and in the end we got a good victory.”
However, analyzing the glass half empty of yesterday’s match: “But it’s true that we deserved to score earlier, in the last action of the first half. Then we scored another at the start of the second half and it was important to score in both moments.” Pointing out then: “I would also like to highlight the defensive work we did. Against these types of teams, the key thing is to defend very well and not allow them to play in their style. I think this was important.”
On the protagonists of the match against Ipswich: “Jean-Clair Todibo did well and we are happy for him. There is good competition between him, Max (Kilman, ed.) and Dinos (Mavropanos, ed.). They are always ready and push each other , so this is positive. It was important to go into the international break with this victory and a good feeling. We have the break, but we will certainly start thinking about the next matches very quickly”, commented Lopetegui.
