Sport Nation 2West Ham United defender Vladimir Coufal has expressed his determination to fight for his place in the team’s starting lineup. The right-back has been facing stiff competition from summer signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but Coufal is ready to put up a challenge.
Coufal’s recent international break with the Czech Republic was a successful one, earning his 50th cap and helping his country secure promotion to UEFA Nations League A. The defender is now focused on helping West Ham United achieve their targets for the season.
“It’s been a bit different for me this year, but I have always been and always will be a fighter and won’t give up my position without a challenge,” Coufal said. “I’ve got a really tough opponent in Wan-Bissaka, and he’s a fantastic player both defensively and offensively, but this is expected at a Premier League team that you have strong competition from players in the same positions.”
Coufal has played five games in the Premier League this season, and after being on the bench for six games, he was happy to get back on the pitch against Everton before the international break. The defender is now hoping to get more minutes soon and help the team achieve their targets.
“I’ve played five games this season in the Premier League, and after being on the bench for six games, getting back on the pitch against Everton before the break was very positive for me, and I was very excited to show something,” Coufal said. “Hopefully, I will get some more minutes soon and can help the team achieve our targets and ambitions for the season.”
West Ham United will be looking to get back to winning ways when they face Newcastle United on Monday Night Football. Coufal is expecting a tough game, but he is confident that the team can get a positive result.
“We’re all expecting a tough game at Newcastle, especially under the lights at St James’ Park,” Coufal said. “They will press us very high up the pitch and will play very demanding football as they’re a good side, have a very good manager, and have a very vocal fanbase. I enjoy visiting their stadium, and it’s a great place to play football.”
The match against Newcastle United will be a crucial one for West Ham United, and Coufal is hoping that the team can get a positive result. With his determination and fighting spirit, Coufal is ready to play his part in helping the team achieve their targets for the season.
