**A recent video on social media has painted West Ham’s players in a very positive light.**
The video, posted to TikTok this week, showed the West Ham players giving plenty of time and acknowledgement to young supporters during their FA Cup tie away at Burton Albion.
The video was uploaded by a West Ham fan in response to a viral clip of Chelsea players appearing dismissive towards young fans during their cup tie at Hull City the night before.
Although it has since been reported that Liam Rosenior’s players were unaware of the young fans in the tunnel, the video was not a good look for the Blues.
However, the same could not be said of Nuno Espírito Santo’s team, who were more than welcoming to young supporters of both sides.
Callum Wilson, Taty Castellanos and Crysencio Summerville were among those seen interacting with young fans in the video, and there was even a very humorous exchange between a young supporter and Adama Traoré.
The young female supporter told the Spanish winger that she loved it when he “threw that Chelsea player” — a reference to Traoré’s altercation with João Pedro at Stamford Bridge last month.
The girl exclaimed, “You may not have won the game, but you won the fight,” a remark that the Irons’ new signing found very amusing.
It was refreshing to see the Hammers in good spirits and interacting with fans on a more personal level, even amid the relegation fight they currently find themselves in.
Just weeks ago, this squad was being heavily criticised for lacking character. But this recent video proved that, despite a bleak league position, Nuno has cultivated a positive atmosphere within the Irons’ camp.
Hopefully, this will translate into a continuation of good form as the Hammers look to secure Premier League safety.
