Thanks to them, the Premier League this season to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
West Ham United will fight Florence in Prague on Wednesday evening (9 p.m., NITRO and im BILD live ticker) for the Conference League title. In one thing, the English are already the clear number 1 this season.
West Ham is the fairest team in Europe!
The Londoners received just 43 yellow cards and NONE sending off in 38 Premier League games. This makes them even fairer than the English champions Manchester City (44 yellow, 1 red).
For comparison: The fairest team in the Bundesliga this season was FC Bayern. Like West Ham, Munich received 43 yellow cards, but also 2 yellow-red cards and one red card. In addition, only 18 teams play in the Bundesliga. That means Bayern had four games fewer than the English (source: Transfermarkt.de).
Also in the other top European leagues (France, Italy and Spain) no team comes close to the gentleman statistics of the team of coach David Moyes.
The coach said at the press conference before the conference league final: “I didn’t know this statistic and it’s obviously a good statistic. You always want to be disciplined in the finals and in all games. Hopefully it stays that way.”
Opponent Florence, on the other hand, only came 11th in this ranking in Serie A (87 yellow cards, 2 yellow-red cards, 1 red card).
That was close! Fireworks go off too early in the stadium and then the…
West Ham aim to win first title since 1980
Moyes also promised that West Ham – whose last title was 43 years ago (1980, FA Cup) – also wants to play fair in the Conference League final. “We always try to play a fair game. In my opinion, that’s always the best way,” said the coach.
However, when the ball rolls in Prague’s Fortuna Arena on Wednesday evening, the win will be more important. Because there is no trophy for a fair game alone.
