Vladimir Coufal has – like his Czech countryman and good friend Tomas Soucek – adapted to life in the Premier League to the manner born.
The right back problem position was quickly forgotten as he produced a top display against Leicester City, equalling it at Spurs where he was responsible for the shot which led to the own goal and brought the score to 3-2.
His experience of Champions League football at Sparta Prague and his wealth of experience now ensures that Ryan Fredericks will have a tough time reclaiming his position as No 1 and be a great help to Ben Johnson as he progresses in the game.
Having Soucek at the club has been a huge help to the player who in his first interview on the club site he refers to the 25 year old as “my right hand” who has helped him with absolutely everything since his arrival.
And he has watched enthralled as new signing Said Benrahma has gone through his paces on the training ground this week.
Speaking at https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/october/23-october/vladimir-coufal-we-will-do-everything-prepare-success-against he said: “Yes, very good. He showed his quality on the ball. Dribbling past two or three players is no problem for him.
He has very good finishing and a very good final and pre-final pass. He’s a very good player and he’s very confident.”
And of his big pal Soucek he declared: “Tomáš is my right hand! If I don’t understand something, he translates it into Czech for me and after that it’s very easy for me.
“When I came to West Ham, he immediately met with me and he showed me the training ground and helped me with everything.”
“I think it’s five years since he came to Slovan Liberec. At that time he showed his quality and he was very good for our team, for Slovan Liberec, and after that he became a leader for Slavia and the Czech national team.
He showed his quality for them and now he is showing it in the Premier League. He can run for 24 hours a day every day!”
And commenting on stories that Soucek told manager David Moyes to sign him he added: “I heard about it, but I have known him a long time and it’s normal, if I am Czech like Tomáš, that the manager would ask him about my character and my football quality. It’s clear and it’s the same at other clubs, I think!”
To the Manor Born you utter bell end?!?!
The correct expression is to the manner born and not to the manor born. There is a tendency to use the mistaken or punning form manor, suggesting noble origins, rather than Shakespeare’s original word, manner. WIKI
You can apply the remark to yourself you utter ignoramus. Read some of the bard. Oh forgot – you wouldn’t understand any of it. Difficult explaining to thickos but manner is an attitude Manor is a place. No, give up, you probably only understand words of abuse. Just go away and never return. This is an intelligent site
Are you Penelope Keith in disguise?
He’s an ignorant berk and not in disguise
Great put down Hugh 🤣
LOL
Might should look at other club in Prague, Sparta who have young 18yp Adam Hložek & he is a machine been playing in Fortuna Liga for 2 seasons is tall strong clinical, creative well rounded can play across front line. He had his debut in Europa League Vs Lille & got a goal add that to 4 goals & 5: assists in 6 Fortuna Liga games. I know Sully would be interested .
I’m thrilled for Coufal he has slotted right in scored lovely goal that was delivered beautifully from Benrahma for him in training. Won’t be long till scored one in game hopefully Vs City. Shrewd signing & I got in FPL at £4.5m too.
I’d love us to eventually move back to back 4 & use Benrahma Formal & Bowen with Antonio or Haller up front be such a front 4. Benrahma seemed to be getting on with Haller already like Arthur both French speakers. But whether Antonio Haller Souček Coufal…. Benrahma will put balls into then box to score.
