West Ham United defeated Chelsea 1-5 in the second round of the Premier League, and is currently at the bottom of the standings. After the game, West Ham captain Bowen was interviewed by Sky Sports.
About the loss in this game
"This is the whole team's business. We all play together. When everything goes well, individual awards and other things are naturally easy to get; but once the performance is not good, everyone must take responsibility, because it is our players who really play on the court. It is not that the defender is not good enough, nor is it a problem with the midfield or forward, but that the overall oppression is not as good as we know. Now it is really necessary for the whole team to bear it together, especially at this moment.
How should we improve
"We have to examine ourselves first. Obviously, head coach Porter has not been leading the team for a long time, but the players are the ones who are really playing on the court. The coach cannot directly control the game, it depends on ourselves. You can have a tactical plan, but football comes down to it: don't let the opponent score and send the ball to the opponent's goal. We are far from doing enough of these most basic football principles now. I can tell you clearly because we conceded 8 goals in just two games. ”
"As the captain, I am angry at the start of the past two weeks, and I also take this responsibility, and how to drive the whole team to rebound is my task. ”
