West Ham Manager Lopetegui Reflects on Difficult Week After Victory

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui shared his thoughts with Sky Sports, stating, “We are happy for our fans. We dedicate the victory to Michail Antonio.” He added, “We deserved the three points. It’s much more than football. We were able to compete well and fight until the end. Wolves drew in the only action they had in the second half. We had very clear chances. But the most important thing is that we won.” Lopetegui further expressed his gratitude, saying, “The fans have supported us a lot through the bad times. I am happy for them.” He also commented on the team’s performance, noting, “We were strong with our mentality. We stayed in the game and took advantage. It’s a fantastic goal from our captain, Jarrod Bowen. He is a fantastic player and a fantastic professional. It wasn’t an easy week, believe me.” Addressing questions regarding his position following the win, Lopetegui remarked, “I don’t talk about noise, I talk about football. If you ask me about football, I will. A win is always good for me.” A notable statistic reveals that Bowen has scored six Premier League goals against Wolves. In the competition, only Carlton Cole, with seven goals against Fulham, has achieved a higher tally for West Ham against a single opponent.
