Vladimir Coufal Accuses Julen Lopetegui of Broken Promises Over Game Time

West Ham United right-back Vladimir Coufal has expressed his disappointment and frustration with manager Julen Lopetegui, claiming that the Spanish coach has failed to deliver on promises of increased game time.

Coufal’s Regression

The 32-year-old Czech Republic international has struggled to regain his form, playing just 223 minutes of Premier League football this season. His regression has led to speculation about his future at the London Stadium.

Contract Expiration

With Coufal’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, rumors suggest he may depart on a free transfer. This development wouldn’t surprise many, given his diminished role under Lopetegui.

Wan-Bissaka’s Arrival

The signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka has further pushed Coufal down the pecking order. The 26-year-old has become Lopetegui’s preferred choice at right-back, leaving Coufal to ponder his options.

Coufal Speaks Out

In an interview with Czech media outlet Sport, Coufal revealed his dissatisfaction with Lopetegui’s broken promises. “When I talked to the coach, he told me that he was extremely happy with me. That he is convinced that I will get more minutes, more chances, and start playing, that I am a great professional.”

Respect and Frustration

Despite his frustration, Coufal emphasized his respect for Lopetegui. However, he made it clear that he cannot continue to sit on the bench. “I definitely don’t want to sit on the bench; I still feel like I can play in the Premier League.”

Assessment of Coufal’s Abilities

While Coufal believes he remains capable of competing in the Premier League, his performances suggest otherwise. His decline has been evident, and it’s uncertain whether he can reclaim his former level.

Lopetegui’s Decision

Lopetegui’s decision to favor Wan-Bissaka over Coufal may be justified, given the latter’s superior form. However, Coufal’s experience and professionalism warrant consideration.

January Transfer Window

A potential solution lies in the January transfer window. Coufal’s departure could allow Lopetegui to bring in a younger, more dynamic right-back to challenge Wan-Bissaka for the starting spot.

Conclusion

Vladimir Coufal’s accusations against Julen Lopetegui highlight the tension between the player and manager. As the January transfer window approaches, a resolution to Coufal’s situation may be necessary to benefit both parties.
