Nicklas Fühlkruk left a controversial statement, but the club will not discipline him.

West Ham United drew 1-1 in the 33rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Southampton at London Olympic Stadium in London, England on the 19th (Korea time). West Ham failed to lift the league table as they also failed to beat bottom-ranked Southampton.

Fühlkruk scored an attacking point in the second minute of the second half when he helped Jarrod Bowen score the first goal. However, the team lost two points at home to Leslie Uchogoku just before the end of the game.

After the game, Fühlkruk vented his anger in an interview as if determined. He "I'm really angry. Rather than being disappointed, I'm just angry at what we've shown since we scored. It was so hard to pull the players back forward. We are not moving forward any further. I tried to advance, but I didn't have the ability or motivation to do that"He lashed out at his colleagues.




Fühlkruk's anger did not end there. "It's really upsetting that we're playing this way. Because at some moments during the game, we showed what kind of play we can play. I was able to maintain a good possession, hit the back space, and I also had an opportunity to score extra points. But it was really pathetic in terms of motivation. I'm sorry, but we were like garbage` he didn`t hold back the abuse.

In general, disciplinary action will come out if a player gives an interview criticizing a team, club, or teammates. For example, when Tottenham had 11 players in the stadium, Antonio Conte said, "I see players who are selfish, who don't help each other, who are selfish. The players here are used to this situation. They don't play for anything important. There has been an owner for 20 years, but nothing has been achieved. The fault goes only to the club and all the coaches who remain here.'He shot all Tottenham members and was eventually dismissed.

However, the West Ham leaders decided not to discipline Fühlkruk. The British Telegraph reported on the 21st that "there is a sympathetic atmosphere within the West Ham club against Fühlkruk's straightforward criticism." He spoke ill of his team-mates' performance, describing it as 'trash', but the club decided not to take any disciplinary action against him," he reported.

The reason was that everyone sympathized with Fühlkruk's remarks. West Ham's power should at least be in the top 10 of the league. However, this season's shocking slump has caused it to fall to 17th place in the league. West Ham would have been worried about relegation if the promotion three teams had not self-destructed. The level of the remarks was strong, but the leadership also does not think that Fühlkruk's remarks were wrong.

However, there are disagreements about whether Fühlkruk is qualified to say this. Fühlkruk is a striker who is good enough to win the top scorer in the German Bundesliga at Werder Bremen in the 2022-2023 season. Ahead of this season, West Ham expected a lot of goals by signing Fühlkruk in a surprise move. However, Fühlkruk has suffered from injuries, so he has only three league goals and two assists this season. Fühlkruk is also having his worst season.
