West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek says motivation won't be a problem tomorrow at AZ Alkmaar.

West Ham meet AZ in the second-leg of their Europa Conference League with a 2-1 aggregate lead. The Irons reached the final four of the Europa League semifinal last season, where they were beaten by eventual winners Eintracht Frankfurt.

“I haven't watched the game back because I was so disappointed for many days, months, even still now," Soucek said. “I wanted to be there in the final, but I remember nearly every set-piece or [thing] we could do better.

“[We learned] to go from the first minute of the first leg, we did that better than last year. It's a massive improvement but now we're here and we're all motivated to get to the final because we know that West Ham haven't for a few years and we want to give our fans this chance to get to the final. That's our goal for all of us, so I think we're even more motivated than last year."

With the final in Prague, the Czech Republic star added: “Since I knew the final is in Prague at the beginning of the season I told the guys: 'Come on, we need to go there because it's my home'.

“So, it's a special motivation for me to get there because I know the stadium very well. I went there at 10 years old so it's another special motivation."
