Another strong voice is that of Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo, and the No28 says the Portuguese has made it clear what he expects from his squad, and it is now up to the players to show exactly what they are made of in two important home Premier League matches against Newcastle United and Burnley.
Souček said: “We have now Nuno as a manager, he trusts us, he believes in us, and he wants to improve as well during the training sessions and during the games, so that’s great, but now it’s also up to the players to step up and make the performance, make the tackles, speak and be a leader for the team and win every set-piece, as every detail of this is so important and can make a big difference.
“Now is the time that we have to be there and make every tackle, every run, every pressing. We have to be all as a team.
“We have two good opportunities against Newcastle and Burnley, especially two good games at home, so I just believe that this is the perfect opportunity for us to show how much we care.”
And showing how much they care is the minimum Souček says the supporters should expect from their team.
“I’m really sorry for all the fans, because they are great, they have been incredible since I came, and I couldn’t believe how big this Club is before I came,” he revealed. “In London, I see fans everywhere and that’s so good, and they are so supportive, but obviously now it’s tough for us and for them as well, and I want to be all together.
“We all really suffer, but I believe that we can change things and especially for these two home games, I believe that they will come to support us, and we can show that we will have 12 players on the pitch, because we really need them.
“I know how loud they can be and this is so important because I believe that if they will be, we then give them back, and we all will celebrate these three points with them.”
