Bowen: West Ham's Relegation Struggle Hurts Me the Most

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen admits that the team's relegation battle is affecting him more than anyone else, as they prepare for a crucial 'must-win' game against Wolves. With only seven games remaining, West Ham is currently one point away from safety. Bowen, who has spent over six years at the London Stadium and played a key role in three European campaigns, understands the importance of staying in the Premier League. 'It would mean the world to me,' he said, emphasizing the significance of the club to him. He is determined to bring his best game every week and motivate his teammates to do the same, recognizing that they have a massive opportunity to steer away from relegation. 'We all need to keep stepping up and changing our destiny,' he added. West Ham has the chance to climb out of the bottom three when they host Wolves this Friday, live on Sky Sports. Bowen stressed that they must win the game, as it's a great opportunity to take control of their situation before other teams play. Nuno Espirito Santo's side is also seeking revenge after their 3-0 defeat at Molineux, which Bowen described as 'really, really poor.' Since then, Wolves have shown improvement under their new manager, Robert Edwards. West Ham is also looking to bounce back from their FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Leeds, where they scored twice in stoppage time but lost on penalties. Bowen reflected on the defeat, saying it showed the team's spirit and determination. He also spoke about dealing with the disappointment of missing a penalty in the shootout, emphasizing the importance of learning from setbacks and not shying away from criticism.
