West Ham defender Thilo Kehrer says their Portugal training camp has them fresh and ready for tomorrow's Europa Conference League final.
The Irons meet Fiorentina in Prague on Wednesday night.
"It was good to have some time together, in a place different from usual, which helps to mix things up," Kehrer stated. It allowed us to relax a bit, have some time together and regroup to be fully focused now. I think we bond well as a team, but we used the last days to grow that even more and to get even more team spirit.
There is a good atmosphere around the training ground too. The team and the staff are all working together, and we are all very close. Because of that, it has been great and easy to settle in on and off the pitch. We have a lot of quality, a lot of potential here, and we want to make the best of it."
The Germany international also told whufc.com: You can feel the excitement of the fans.
You can feel that from everybody around the Club too."
