West Ham United players have an opportunity to end the season on a high and give something massive to celebrate for their fans. The London outfit are just one game away from lifting a European trophy. They will be playing Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday. It will be an extremely challenging tie for both sides with the game having the possibility of going either way. Hence, both clubs will be quietly confident of getting their hands on the trophy.
Jarrod Bowen is happy to be a part of this West Ham United journey. He feels it could be the “pinnacle” for a lot of players in their life. “I’ve played for England, but I think achieving this with your teammates who you’ve been with together to get to a final and you have the opportunity to win a trophy together, it will be a massive moment. Of course, we’re all excited about being in the final of a European competition and this will be the pinnacle for a lot of players. It will certainly be the biggest game of my career,” he was quoted as saying by the club’s website ahead of the all-important final.
However, Jarrod Bowen wants the team to find the right balance and not get “too hyped up” heading into the game. “We all want it, but it’s important to not get too hyped up for it. We need to find that balance of not going over the top but also not caring enough. The main priority is to win the game. As players we want to be part of that moment but for the fans it would mean so much. I want to be part of the squad that gives the fans that moment and that’s what we’re all striving to do,” he elaborated.
Ahead of the final, West Ham United players had gone for a three-day training camp in Portugal. Speaking about it, Bowen said, “It’s good to get away from the training ground for the final. We spend all season at the training ground, so I think a few days away in the sunshine is a really positive change heading into the game. The lads were laughing, and we all felt good and relaxed. It was somewhere different, which was important. It allowed us to get our minds ready for the final in a new environment, not the same place that we have been doing so all year.”
Jarrod Bowen wants to be a part of the West Ham United history by winning the coveted trophy on Wednesday. “I think it’s exciting because I believe we have every chance. I go into every game wanting to score for West Ham, but scoring in this game would be brilliant as long as we win the game. I love this Club and it’s an absolute privilege to play here,” he added.
“To have these moments and be preparing for a final, I would have never thought that it would had happened when I joined West Ham – so it fills me with so much pride that I’m part of the squad that could do that. We’re all buying into it as a team, we believe we’ve got a really good opportunity to win this game against a really tough side. We’ve done a lot of good things in this competition this season. It’s a one-off game and we’ll see what happens.”
