Biggest regret of my career” – Midfielder reveals all on key West Ham moment, thinks about it constantly
For many reasons, the Conference League final between Fiorentina and West Ham United continues to be a hot topic of conversation for both clubs.
The Italian team continues to reflect on how they may have won that match, even though the Hammers are still happy with their European championship.
Rolando Mandragora is among those who had nightmares about the game. Labaro Viola cited him today when discussing their upcoming Conference League game and recalling the encounter with West Ham.
Fiorentina’s new goal for the season is to win the Conference League.
They advanced past the qualifying round and the group stage and are currently up against Maccabi Haifa in the round of 16.
They have already won 4-3 away from home, and they will play the pivotal match in Italy tonight.
West Ham, on the other hand, is getting ready for their Europa League match against Freiburg. The Hammers face a difficult task as they attempt to get a win in London after losing 1-0 in Germany.

The German team had a 1-0 advantage after the first leg, and although the Scot once again played far too cautiously, Freiburg was able to sneak a goal late in the game.
If the visitors score first, the hosts will have a mountain to climb at the London Stadium, therefore it’s critical that the Hammers get out to a fast start and take the game to their opponents.

More physicality will be provided in midfield by Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez than by the mercurial Lucas Paqueta, who is essential to West Ham’s hopes both at home and in Europe, as the graphic below (provided by Sky Sports) illustrates.
Only making the bench, Kalvin Phillips joins James Ward-Prowse in a move by Moyes that doesn’t seem to make much sense right now.
