Former Blackburn Rovers defending relishing 'West Ham style'
10:59am Thursday 9th September 2010 in
FORMER Blackburn Rovers full back Lars Jacobsen believes he will be more suited to West Ham United’s style of play after completing the move to Upton Park on transfer deadline day last week.
The Danish international could make his debut against Premier League champions Chelsea on Saturday, after limited first team opportunities at Ewood, and is relishing playing West Ham’s so-called ‘passing game’.
He said: “That was what I was used to, keeping the ball on the ground and playing out from the back.
"Of course, you cannot be naive, especially in the Premier League and there are many different styles.
“The way West Ham play though is how I want to play and get the most out of my ability. ”

Sam Allardyce: Unlikely to get war chest
Rovers announced last month they were in negotiations with the Indian businessman, through his Bahrain-based investment firm Western Gulf Advisory, over a £300 million deal, with Syed pledging up to £100 million to spend on players.
But things have since gone quiet amid stories of unpaid debts and Allardyce has admitted he is not now expecting the deal to go through.
He said: "If it's happening, it's going to happen in the next week or two. But whether it does happen or not seems now doubtful, for whatever reason I don't know, I'm not privy to that information yet.''
Allardyce also admitted the timing of the announcement had been unhelpful, coming as it did in the last month of the transfer window.
Blackburn were one of the lowest spenders this summer, with Hugo Fernandez their only permanent signing, and Allardyce was particularly disappointed to miss out on Bulgarian striker Ivelin Popov.
"The timing didn't help,'' said the Rovers boss. "People still felt we had a lot more money than we had coming up to the end of the window. It's been a distraction, I think.''
