After losing 1-5 to Liverpool in the third round of the EFL Cup, West Ham United's newest recruit Soler showed a positive mindset and strong belief in the future in an interview on the club's official website. Despite the loss, Soler spoke highly of his team's first-half performance and is confident that the team is capable of doing better in the future.
Soler began by reflecting on the result, arguing, "We were a very good team in the first half and deserved the equalizer. The result doesn't reflect our true level of play in the game and we didn't deserve to lose 1-5." He emphasized his team's positive performance in the game and expressed his dissatisfaction with the result.
However, Soler is also cognizant of the fact that when facing a strong team like Liverpool with a host of talented players, any small mistake could be seized upon by the opposition and converted into a scoring opportunity. He said, "When you play these teams, they punish you and the end result reflects that. But we have to focus on the good, and I believe we did a lot of good things, while at the same time there are a lot of areas to change and improve."
As a new player joining the team, Soler is full of confidence in the future of West Ham United. He mentioned that although he and his teammates have not been here for a long time, they have already felt the good training atmosphere and positive spirit of the team. He believes that through continuous efforts and improvements, the team will be able to achieve better results.
Soler also expressed his gratitude to the West Ham United fans. He praised the fans for their great performance at Anfield and said, "West Ham fans are amazing at Anfield, about 6,000 came here tonight to support us. They showed us respect after the game because they know we did well. It's hard to accept losing 1-5 but we'll do our best to repay their support."
Finally, Soler reiterated his goals and determination, "I'm here to help my teammates and the club get better. I always want the best for myself and the club. Now I'm a West Ham United player and I'm really happy to be part of the family. We will learn from this loss and focus on the next game to try to get to Brentford
Getting the Victory."
