The West Ham manager hopes Bayer Leverkusen and Victor Boniface overindulged in beer.

Although Victor Boniface and his teammates at Bayer Leverkusen would have consumed a lot of beer during the wild celebrations that followed their first-ever Bundesliga victory, West Ham manager David Moyes has joked that he hopes Boniface and his teammates will still be in a daze heading into tonight’s UEFA Europa League quarterfinal second leg.

After winning the Bundesliga championship for the first time in club history on Sunday, Bayer Leverkusen celebrated.

West Ham will try to overcome a 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Germany tonight in order to go to the Europa League semifinals and halt Leverkusen’s 43-game winning streak.
More gravely, he continued, saying, “It is evident that we must, if we can, do a really good job. The first game, we performed admirably. It was insufficient. This is what occurs when you play against Manchester City or Arsenal, two of the biggest teams. We need to figure out how to get outcomes.

We worked very hard the previous week. We will give it another go because we were so close.

Goalie Fabianski of West Ham anticipates playing in the upcoming campaignLukasz Fabianski, the goalkeeper for West Ham, says he plans to play next season before taking on Bayer Leverkusen.

With a 2-0 lead, Bayer is in London for the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal matchup.

39-year-old Fabianski declared: “I’m growing older.

However, I’m in excellent physical and mental health. Generally speaking, I think I’m in excellent shape and am in a fantastic situation with the squad, so hopefully I have a few more memorable moments in my career.

Leverkusen is an excellent team, as they have demonstrated in their last few games and throughout the season, but we have to have faith in them.

“Hopefully, this will be a similar situation to the previous rounds and years when we managed to create special and magical evenings despite having to play under pressure during European competitions.”

The confidence we can draw from our collective experiences is enormous, he added.

“Hopefully, that experience will aid in our mental preparation for the upcoming game.

“It’s important to have a smart game plan; you can’t start off too aggressively.” They’re a formidable team, so you have to play carefully and strike when the opportunity arises.

“We must have faith, and it’s a worthwhile challenge. In terms of pressure and not having to rush, we have played games similar to this in Europe. First and foremost, you must concentrate on managing the game’s tempo. Next, decide when to launch your attack.

“We must be patient and seize our opportunities; we do not need to rush anything.”
