Hugo Ekitike reflects on Liverpool triumph…
Hugo Ekitike, who seems to think scoring goals is as easy as peeling bananas, declared “I could do better” after making waves at Liverpool. He scored during the Community Shield against Crystal Palace and grabbed both a goal and an assist in Liverpool’s nail-biting 4-2 game against Bournemouth. Though he snagged the Player of the Match award, Ekitike believes his football skills haven’t quite reached superhero status—yet. Speaking to Sky Sports, he emphasized the importance of the team’s win and dedicated the victory to fans and teammate Diogo.
Ekitike is on record saying he feels like he’s running through quicksand in the Premier League compared to his days at Frankfurt, where he apparently had the freedom of a bird on caffeine. He’s keen on improving his game and has two soccer idols, Neymar and Karim Benzema, guiding his aspirations. Every time he hits the field, Ekitike makes history, becoming just the second Liverpool player to both score and assist in his Premier League debut, joining the elite club with Darwin Nunez. It’s safe to say Ekitike’s legacy is growing faster than a teenager’s shopping list!
