West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini was pleased with their Europa Conference League win against AEK Larnaca.
Lanzini was impressive for the victory in Cyprus.
I try to play and keep the ball," Lanzini told whufc.com.
I think it is the most important thing to keep the ball, to have rest for the team and to create space and I try to do that."
The 30-year-old's importance in Europe was once again clear.
I want to be important in every game for the team because that is what I train for," Lanzini continued. Now, I am starting in the Europa matches but I want to play more in the Premier League.
I am happy to be in the starting XI. The West Ham fans are crazy. It is always a pleasure to play for them. They deserve this win.
It was a good game for us, a very good result. It is always difficult in European competition to make a difference, but we have a good result to defend at home now."
