“Tired, sluggish” Souček in the shadow of Rice. Moyes praises the replacement for Coufal

Czech midfielder Tomáš Souček is receiving rather critical responses for his performance in Sunday’s derby against Tottenham. He contributed to the victory of the West Ham footballers with traditional honest inconspicuous work, but this time in England they pay particular attention to his unusually tired legs and also to the fact that he remains permanently in the shadow of his midfielder, the phenomenally playing English national team member Declan Rice.

London letters regularly scored by West Ham footballers have been repeated frequently recently. While Captain Rice gets a great score of 8 or 9, Souček has to make do with “sixes or sevens”.

This is not the case even after the derby against Spurs (1: 0), which the Hammers managed to number one, especially in the defense, and across the competitions they played the third net account in a single week.

Although coach David Moyes returned Souček to a more offensive position just before Rice after several weak performances, the English footballer is still more prominent on the pitch from the key middle duo.

“Rice played a more conservative role and he couldn’t go ahead so often. But when he did, he played Tottenham’s midfielders as if they weren’t even there. Otherwise, he was getting better and better in the match, and as Součka overcame fatigue, he often did the job for two, ”said the Football.London server over the 22-year-old midfielder.

He then wrote about Souček: “He used permission to support the attack and had several good things in the first half, including the header, which was to end in a goal. He is returning to his best performances, but in the second half he was obviously tired. “

Other media were already more negative towards Čech. “Next to Souček, who lacked pace, Rice took the baton and dominated the whole reserve himself. He always tries to push his team forward, ”said London’s Evening Standard.

He criticized Souček quite sternly: “He still looks tired and lazy. It could have been that he played 90 minutes on Thursday. But Rice helped him a lot. “
