West Ham United lost to Sunderland 0-3 in the Premier League opening match, and Bowen expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance.
Bowen said: "I'm obviously very angry. This is the beginning of the season and the opponent is in high morale. In the Premier League, if you don't seize the opportunity, the opponent will catch it sooner or later. If we don't defend well enough, the opponent will score goals. I think the way we concede the goal is too easy, which makes us very disappointed. In this level of game, such performance leads to failure. So, I'm very disappointed and angry at the start of today."
"We have to be proud of not letting our opponent score goals. Whether it's the striker, the midfield or the defender, the whole team should try their best to prevent conceding. If We created opportunities and defended properly, and we could win the game. We had a chance in the first half, and we thought we could go further in the second half, but we didn't do it and conceded three goals instead. "
" We created better opportunities in the first half, and we expected the opponent to fight back faster in the second half. However, we made more pass mistakes and slower than in the first half, which allowed our opponents to seize the opportunity. They took advantage of these opportunities when counterattacking and eventually sent the ball to our goal. "
"I think our second half was not as strong as the first half, which made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunity. People are very annoyed. As players, we need to keep this mentality and make sure we win the game. We know that time is tight, and if we can play in the second half as we do in the first half, we can win, but we didn't do it."
Bow understands that fans don't want to hear excuses, and he stresses that the team needs to perform best against Chelsea: "You don't want to get into the early stages of the season, you need to correct the mistake immediately. We want to correct it today, but we don't succeed. You can't say next week will be better because you have to do it now. There is no excuse. We need to be on Friday Reacting at home against Chelsea at night. "
"The opponents are strong, but we have a home advantage. We have to look at ourselves and get better. After losing 0-3 in the first game of the season, if none of this motivates us, then we really have a problem. So we have to respond on Friday. The fans are the most disappointed people. They expect more, and we need to give them more. They may not want to hear me say that, they want to see actual action on the court. That's the message we want to convey to ourselves. We have to respond."
