'We might as well try to go all the way' - Nmecha on FA Cup aim
[Getty Images] Leeds United striker Lukas Nmecha believes the club's FA Cup run this season has been "really good" for the players and says "the goal is just to win" against West Ham on Sunday afternoon to seal their spot in the semi-finals. The 27-year-old is also looking forward to playing in front of the club's 9,000 travelling fans at London Stadium, despite the stands being "quite far away from the pitch". "This season has definitely been relentless," Nmecha told BBC Radio Leeds.
"We've had to rotate a lot in the cup competitions to reduce the load on the players who are playing more in the Premier League. "But this FA Cup run has definitely been really good for the squad. We've maybe seen a slightly different style of football in the cups compared to the league, and we've shown that we are still able to do the things we were doing last season.
"It is important to take games as they come and to not read into them too much, so our goal for this game is just to win. "It will be a challenge for our fans [to get behind us] because the stands are quite far away from the pitch, but I'm sure we will hear them. Hopefully we will be the louder ones!
"I've never played at Wembley Stadium before, so it would be amazing for me and the fans [to get there]. It would be a good day out. We are close so we might as well try to go all the way now.
