West Ham United<\/a><\/p>\nWest Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to Sky Sports: “Tough, tough day for us, especially for our fans.<\/p>\n
“We knew it was going to be difficult, it was not in our hands. We did our part and we hoped for the best – it didn’t happen. We have to pass the sad moment that we are living.”<\/p>\n
On where things went wrong: “If you ask me to go back to look and where and when, this is not the moment. This is the moment to feel this sadness.<\/p>\n
“We had a tough mission, the boys tried it and today showed things could have been different. It didn’t happen but at least we finished with dignity at our home. We won but it doesn’t take away the sadness.”<\/p>\n
On performances this season: “We did many things good, we did things bad and it was punished. It is tough to look back at analyse.<\/p>\n
“I just spoke to the boys, they are all sad and we have to go to the sadness then we think about the rest.”<\/p>\n
On his future: “Our respect for the supporters means it is not the moment to talk about the future. We have to apologise to them, thank them for the support.<\/p>\n
“All these boys were able to establish a good relationship with the fans. They’ve helped us so much, even today with knowing the result, they gave us energy.<\/p>\n
“We should understand the day, tomorrow will be a new one and we’ll start thinking about what we have to do.”<\/p>\n
On message to the fans: “West Ham has to be in the Premier League. We are a big club that has to be in the Premier League. West Ham are going to need their support. The club plays better when we are with them and it makes us proud the way we established this support with our supporters.<\/p>\n
“It is a very difficult moment for all of us: the board, the staff, the coaches, the players and more than anything, the fans. It is going to hurt, it is going to be tough.<\/p>\n
“But one thing is for sure, West Ham has to be in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘We have to go to sadness then we think about the rest’published at 19:52 BST 24 May 19:52…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-691713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
