The midfielder has shown impressive form, and he has scored in back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Burnley. There is no doubt that he will be a player for West Ham as they look to secure survival in the Premier League."
"They added that the players will not be receiving their usual financial bonuses for the game, and Soucek will not be the captain of the team in the next match either. The statement read: The players' reaction should have been the opposite. They should have thanked the active fans. Not only for yesterday's support, but also for their long-term and tireless support throughout the entire qualifying cycle after a series of unconvincing performances."
Tomas Soucek endured criticism and a dip in form before regaining momentum under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo. He has been deployed as an auxiliary striker and scored in consecutive victories over Newcastle and Burnley, aiding West Ham's survival bid. Soucek and several Czech teammates failed to thank fans after a 6-0 win over Gibraltar, provoking backlash. The Czech Football Association apologized to supporters, withheld the players' match bonuses, and removed Soucek's captaincy for the next match. The withheld funds will be donated to those in need. Players reportedly reacted due to perceived excessive criticism from fans.
