In an interview with the club's official media, West Ham United midfielder Dekran Rice talked about the team's goals for the season. Rice said the team wanted to qualify for the Champions League.
Rice said: "I think we can get good results, we want to qualify for the Champions League, that's what everyone is aiming for. I want to be in the top six like a bigger goal for us, we're already giving it our all and we're rotating the squad as much as possible. ”
"We have a lot of positives to play and if we really look at the upcoming European campaign then we could play a very important role in it and I think we can really go a long way." We are currently fifth in the league and we are doing very well. ”
"We got into the knockout stages of the Europa League, there were a lot of positives and every time we played at home we felt the presence of the fans and we loved playing in front of them. There's no ceiling on what we can achieve, all we need is to stick together, keep doing what we do best and see what we can achieve this season. ”
"We can accept criticism and that's part of the reason we've done so well as a team. If you can't accept criticism, then you can't learn something. Even me, I like to be reminded because it keeps you alert. The most important thing I do is learn during the game, and when facing the top opponents and the top players, I'm always learning and observing the way they play and see what they do. ”
"I always look back at my game footage to see where I can improve, I talk to the assistant coach, I talk to the head coach. On the training ground, I've been trying to improve, to try different things, to test myself, to play against other players. All I need is focus, and that's the best way you can express yourself 100 percent. ”
