Nuno Espírito Santo, manager of the "Hammers" West Ham United, admitted that he and his players felt deeply disappointed and pained after Manchester United, the "Red Devils," scored a stoppage-time equalizer to draw 1-1 in the English Premier League last night. However, he praised his team for their good performance.
Nuno said, "We are disappointed. We all have to accept this result in the end. We played well, and every player worked hard, but in the end, we did not succeed."
"The draw makes us feel sad, but we really competed well today. It was a combination of everything — our desire and the players’ efforts. We deserved more than this."
"We should be proud, and this is the approach we must take in every game. We need to maintain this standard. I have told the players, and their expressions showed that we did well. They are hurting, and it truly hurts."
"When you look back at the game, it’s often those final moments when you think you almost won, but then you get hit hard in the stomach. It really hurts."
As a result of this draw, West Ham remains stuck in 18th place in the standings and must continue to fight to avoid relegation.
