“I can speak because I am the West Ham coach and my plan is to challenge the top four,” Moyes said.
“Hopefully I can challenge the top four and maybe catch one, maybe take one down. That’s what I want to do. That is what I have been letting the players know in terms of what I intend.
“I can only speak for Everton as (their) former coach. I can’t speak for Rafa. But Everton It is a big club, with a lot of tradition and they have challenged the top four, especially in my time there.
“There was a constant challenge. It was very difficult to get in, but we did it once. So I think Rafa could think exactly the same as me at that moment, maybe even more.
The pair met multiple times in Merseyside derbies back then. Benitez He was in charge of Liverpool and Moyes was in charge of Everton, and the West Ham boss congratulated the new Toffees boss.
“I think Rafa has an identity, I think his teams are very well organized and well trained and I think he prepares his teams in a way that I think he understands the level of players he has,” said West. Said the ham manager.
“If you have an extremely talented group of players, you can play with a more expansive style, if you have a group that you think might not be that strong, you can play tighter and maybe not be as open.”
“But that’s for being a good coach and a good coach and for understanding the group of players you have.”
