Angelo Ogbonna reckons the no-longer-toxic atmosphere at the London Stadium combined with West Ham’s Europa Conference League challenge can help fuel their bid for Premier League survival.
Three years ago, shortly after moving into the London Stadium, the Hammers found themselves in a relegation battle similar to this season’s and Ogbonna well remembers how difficult the negativity that surrounded the club made things back then. This time out, however, on the back of successive European campaigns, he senses a different feeling altogether.
And despite the Hammers’ precarious position, he feels an air of positivity both in the dressing-room and in the stands that he hopes will propel them not only to Europa Conference League glory but safety as well.
