Reo-Coker Responds to Curbishley
New West Ham United manager, Alan Curbishley, started his campaign in style, as his skipper, Nigel Reo-Coker, compounded his critics, to score the winning goal against league leaders, Manchester United. It was a crucial win for West Ham United, in their quest to avoid relegation, as Curbishley was quick to point out.
“It’s a great result but considering yesterday’s results, no disrespect to the two teams which are just above us, but when they won away, it put a lot of pressure on it. It could be Man United, it could be anyone, just to get the result today, to stay in there, and stay with it, was vitally important.”
“It’s a short term situation for me to get this club, out that bottom three, and then after that it’s a long term situation, and we can push on. But we have got to get ourselves out the bottom three, and we have got to start enjoying the rest of this season. When you are in it around this time, it’s a long second half, and we have got to be ready for it.”
After Teddy Sheringham had supplied the pass to Marlon Harewood, whose back hill squeezed through to Reo-Coker, the game was won in the seventy fourth minute, as Reo-Coker neatly tucked the ball past Edwin Van Der Sar, from close range, but Curbishley also admired his team’s defensive duties.
“I don’t know about what we did differently against Man United, I don’t know, but obviously stopped them scoring. But there were some fantastic tackles out there, there were some fantastic blocks.”
Victory for the Hammers, cut the gap at the top of the Premier League, as the slip up by Manchester United, put Chelsea in touching distance, who after winning at Everton, are hot on their heels.
“It’s a titanic battle between the two of them at the moment, and I understand Chelsea came back from it, this afternoon, and Alex will be the first to tell you, it’s a tough a season, and there’s unexpected results coming up, and if your in that top situation, you can’t have too many unexpected results, and it was an unexpected result, today.”
