On August 30, in the third round of the Premier League, West Ham will face Manchester City at home. West Ham’s head coach, Lopetegui, praised the current Manchester City as one of the strongest teams in history but also expressed his determination to cause an upset against them.
Lopetegui just celebrated his birthday and said, “For me, the best birthday gift would be winning this match and moving forward with the team. Now we will focus on the game against Manchester City, which will be a huge challenge for us. We have just finished playing in the EFL Cup, while Manchester City has had a week of rest. We must recover quickly in these two days to meet the challenge posed by Manchester City.”
Lopetegui praised Manchester City, “The match against Manchester City will be very difficult; they are one of the best teams in the history of football. Haaland is a very strong striker; I have encountered him many times during my coaching career and am well aware of his abilities. But Manchester City is not just about Haaland; they have many outstanding players, and we must stay focused throughout the match. We are fully aware of the level of Manchester City’s players and manager, as well as their style of play. Next, we need to work hard to overcome this incredible opponent.”
