West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has called on his players not to show any complacency as they prepare to host Cardiff City at the London stadium.
The Hammers stopped Newcastle United’s winning juggernaut as they came out as the winner in the 3-0 thrashing of the Magpies. Javier Hernandez netted a brace as the Hammers secured an important victory.
The London giants are about to run into a hectic December but they do have a number of easy fixtures lining up ahead. Before facing Arsenal on January 12th the Hammers will be facing a number of easy opponents which could redefine their rest of the season.
But Pellegrini has refused to show any complacency and is taking one game at a time. “I think if we have our mind focused on Cardiff, it will be an important chance to win three more points.
“It is what we must do here at home. After we finish that game, we will think about the next rival – one of the biggest mistakes that you can do, is to think that because a team is near you [in the table] that it will be an easy game.
“The best games that we played here at home have been against Chelsea and Manchester United. So I hope that we are conscious of that tomorrow and we give the maximum effort and quality to add three points more.
“After that, we will think about the next rival.”
