Speaking on ITV’s coverage of England vs Czech Republic (22/6/21 7:30PM), Ian Wright has been speaking about West Ham United’s Tomas Soucek.
The Arsenal legend has been waxing-lyrical about the West Ham man, particularly praising him for how fit he is.
Indeed, Wright says that Soucek’s stamina and energy is amazing.
What’s been said?
Wright was blown away by how fit Soucek was, claiming that he’s brilliant at getting up and down the pitch for the Hammers.
“Exactly, That’s the thing. One minute you see him down in his own box clearing the ball off the line and the next he’s up there. His stamina and his energy is amazing,” Wright said.
Spot on
Soucek’s height, physicality and aerial presence are obviously his standout qualities, but one thing that is underrated about him is his fitness.
The Hammers star is unbelievably fit, he motors up and down the pitch brilliantly and he’s a true box to box midfielder.
He’s genuinely a perfect fit for David Moyes’ system. He works harder than anyone else, he’s the first to every loose ball and he’s an incredible set-piece threat.
Wright is absolutely spot on about Soucek’s fitness and energy.
