West Ham Attacker Mohammed Kudus Shares Graham Potter “Demands a Lot” From Players
West Ham attacker Mohammed Kudus has shared that the club’s new head coach, Graham Potter, “demands a lot” from his players.
Potter, who succeeded Julen Lopetegui after the latter’s dismissal following 20 games in charge, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Hammers.
Kudus, speaking to SkySports after playing four matches under the new boss, said, “He demands a lot.”
“He’s only been here a short period of time but we can feel the energy as players.”
He went on to add, “For me, it was the same with the old manager; they expect a lot, and the challenging part is replicating what he wants me to do in his system. I know we don’t have time, but this stuff does take time.”
Despite the pressure for immediate results, Kudus acknowledged that the fans expect victories quickly.
“The fans expect points straight away and we have to get wins, but settling into a new way of playing takes time.”
Following a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, West Ham will head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in their next Premier League match on Monday.
