Vladimir Coufal spoke very highly of his West Ham United teammate Angelo Ogbonna, when speaking to WHUFC.com the other night.

The 32-year-old Italian scored the all important second goal for the Hammers on Wednesday night during our 3-1 win away at West Brom.
Oggy has been in superb form West Ham this season.
Losing him for a couple of months from February to April was a huge blow for us and it could be argued that it has ended up costing us a finish inside the top four this season.
Ogbonna has proven to be an exceptional addition for the Hammers since making his £8 million (Daily Mail) move to the East London club in the summer of 2015.
Vladimir Coufal is a huge fan of the Italian
The Czech Republic international and Oggy have been two of the most important players for West Ham this season.
And Vlad opened up on another string to Ogbonna’s bow that doesn’t actually get spoken very often, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“I am so grateful for Angelo, he scored again and he is very important for us. He’s like a big rock, yeah? It is almost impossible to defend against him during set pieces. It’s a very strong side.”
The former Juventus ace is a hugely popular figure at the London Stadium amongst the West Ham fans.
It seems as though he is just as well-liked by his teammates too.
Let’s hope that the Hammers owners tie Ogbonna down to a new deal as soon as possible. He really is vitally important to David Moyes’s hopes of taking us to another level over the next few years.
