Why Liverpool Was the Right Choice
New Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike has explained his decision to join the club this summer, citing the team’s status as the reigning champions of England and its rich history as key factors. He believes Liverpool presented the ideal environment for his advancement following his time at Frankfurt.
It’s just the best choice, it’s the champion of England. For me, they had great players, great history. It just fit with what I was looking for after Frankfurt. I think it was a good choice from me. That’s why I chose Liverpool – it’s just the best option and I wanted to come.
Facing Galatasaray and Early Season Adaptations
Ekitike acknowledged the challenges of facing Galatasaray in an away Champions League match, recognizing the difficulty of playing outside of Anfield. He addressed questions regarding tactical approaches, specifically concerning “giving space to opponents,” stating that the team is still in the early stages of building connections and adapting to each other’s playing styles.
He expressed confidence that these connections will strengthen with time.
From Benchwarmer to Key Player in the Champions League
Ekitike reflected on his previous Champions league experience with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), noting that he was younger and primarily a spectator on the bench. He contrasted that experience with his current role at Liverpool, where he aims to be a meaningful contributor to the team’s success in the competition.
while acknowledging he didn’t anticipate his immediate impact, he emphasized his dedication to preparation and continuous enhancement.
to say I knew I would perform like that, no – but that’s what I expected. I work for that. Obviously I’m happy that it works and I just want to keep going and do even more for this team. When I first played [in the] Champions League with PSG [Paris Saint-Germain], I was young, I was on the bench, I was more watching. I would say now it’s my time being someone who can help the team to reach success [in the] Champions League and I’m very grateful for that. I will give 100 per cent of myself.
Looking Ahead
Ekitike’s commitment to Liverpool is clear,and he is focused on maximizing his contribution to the team’s ambitions both domestically and in the Champions League.
