"This success means everything. Today the boys gave their all. We had faith. I am happy not only for us, but also for the manager, for the fans and for the staff at the club. They all give their best so that we can play at our best. -the good way. I'm happy for myself, but also for them because they deserve it too. When Jared ran towards the goal, I said to myself, ``This is your moment.'' Then I saw the ball go into the net. I'm still in shock. It's really amazing," Rice said.
Comparisons have already begun between him and legends like Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds. "Even just to mention my name along with theirs is amazing. In the last six years I left my heart in this club. It was not easy for us. To win this trophy is a completely different level. To be compared to them, I don't want to say too much, so as not to get too excited," added the midfielder.
"There were times during the year where he was tested. If you pay more attention to his work at the club, it should be noted that he has saved us twice from relegation, qualifying for Europe two years in a row and now he has won that too. I think , that he ranks among the best managers in West Ham history," the captain concluded.
