West Ham United captain Mark Noble has heaped praise upon Manuel Pellegrini, stating that the squad has a “really positive vibe” going into the new season.
The Hammers are set to enter their first season under the guidance of Pellegrini who himself will enjoy a return to the Premier League after his successful stint at champions Manchester City.
Last season saw West Ham struggle on and off the pitch, with the sacking of Slaven Bilic, the underwhelming success of David Moyes and the breakdown of communication between the fans and the owners.
However, with the Hammers spending over £100 million this summer and with the arrival of Pellegrini, the atmosphere around the club has improved massively, with Noble confirming this.
Speaking via the West Ham United website, the tough-tackling midfielder revealed how enjoyable life is at the club and how the squad are going to do their best to produce exciting football this season.
“Do you know what? It’s actually been really enjoyable!” he confirmed.
“I’ve enjoyed the training sessions, I’ve enjoyed the games and, even though we’ve been away for nearly three weeks in total, it’s been enjoyable around the hotel and we’ve had a laugh.
“But, as everybody knows, the only thing that makes seasons enjoyable are wins. We’ve been dealt a tough blow with obviously losing Manu [Lanzini] and then getting Liverpool away in the first game of the season because you just hope for a home game with all your fans behind you and to go out there and get the three points. We’ll just have to do it the hard way at Liverpool.
“There is a really positive vibe around the training ground and hopefully we can take that into the game.
“The organisation of pre-season has been outstanding and that’s not just come from the manager and his staff, but also from a lot of staff members who have been brought in to make things run smoothly.
“We are doing things professionally and properly and the small things can make a big difference.”
West Ham’s first Premier League match of the season is against Liverpool on Sunday.
