Doku Shines with Two Assists, Celebrates Baptism After Manchester Derby Win
MANCHESTER – Jérémy Doku delivered a standout performance in Manchester City’s derby victory this Sunday, providing two assists and celebrating his baptism immediately following the match.The winger’s contributions helped City rebound from consecutive Premier League defeats against Tottenham and brighton.
“One of his most triumphant performances in the City jersey,” noted the Manchester Evening News following the game. Doku himself expressed his joy,stating,”To be honest,this Sunday was already a victory for me…As I knew that after the meeting,I was going to be baptized.”
Doku attributed his strong performance to his faith, explaining he ”felt pushed today” due to his religious convictions. He also praised his teammates who finished his passes: “I am very happy for Phil [Foden], he deserves it…Erling [Haaland] is a machine, we all know that he will register a lot of goals. We can always count on him.”
Looking ahead to Manchester City’s Champions League clash against Napoli, Doku anticipates a perhaps awkward reunion with former teammate Kevin De Bruyne. “It will undoubtedly be a little strange for him,I think he will be happy to come home,” Doku said,before adding with a smile,”We will have no mercy for him.” He also expressed hope for a warm reception for De Bruyne at the Etihad stadium, wishing him well on his return to Manchester.
Doku acknowledged the team’s need for adaptation following the arrival of new players, stating, “But I feel that players start to adapt, we start to understand each other.” The win signals a return to form for City as they prepare for the Champions League competition.
