Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool’s new treasure

Do you know why Liverpool paid €95 million for him?

Do you know why Liverpool rushed to sign him and snatched him away from Newcastle?

Simply because from the very first minute, he adapted to everything.

The crazy pace of the English league didn’t faze him, and he didn’t flinch under pressure!

Hugo Ekitike is like Nescafe in a cup!

He’s a striker who scores goals!

At the same time, he drops back to midfield and with one touch, he gets his team out of trouble!

At the same time, he goes to the wings, runs with the ball, links up, and gets into space to take it again, pulling the defenders away

and getting his teammates into space in front of the goal.

He’s like a bee from the other side!

He scored a difficult and brilliant goal against Crystal Palace, scored a difficult goal and created a goal against Bournemouth,

and contributed three goals in his first two games. What a wonderful start!

There is a saying that goes, “You get what you pay for,” and this saying applies to Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool’s new treasure.

Despite his tall stature, reaching 195 cm, Ekitike does not want to limit himself to the role of a target man.

This is evident from his movements without the ball outside the penalty area

and the areas where he asks for the ball, which we can see in the heat map.

Even in his first goal, Akiti came down, received the ball, turned, and went for the shot. In the assist, Jackbo was wide and left space for Jackbo to go deep.

A huge start.

A great and literally crazy opening for the English Premier League!

Liverpool was leading Bournemouth by two goals and was comfortable, knowing that it would win, when suddenly it conceded two goals in 10 minutes and the score was tied!

Suddenly, in the last two minutes of the match, Liverpool scored two goals,

and Anfield Stadium turned 180 degrees, with Liverpool ultimately winning 4-2 after suffering in the last 10 minutes!

It was a match that had everything: intense pressure, terrifying counterattacks, a crazy pace, lots of goals, even more chances, and constant twists and turns.

It was like watching an action movie!

At the end of the day, no director in any cinema or theater could come up with scenarios

and drama as exciting and entertaining as the great English Premier League.

It’s football and nothing else.

Overall, it was a great start to the Premier League. The Premier League is impossible.

You start off feeling like it’s going to be a season you won’t enjoy, but this time it was a huge start.

Liverpool had a large crowd at their stadium and Bournemouth had a very respectable turnout, resulting in a huge number of goals from a total of 6 chances

and a total xG of 3.78 expected goals.

An exciting scenario began with the Reds taking a two-goal lead, Bournemouth equalizing with two goals,

and then the Reds coming back with two goals… We loved it and it got us excited for the rest of the round’s matches.

Welcome back to the English Premier League!

Football can create scenarios that you would never imagine!

I want you to imagine with me that Keita was worth €100 million two years ago

and was the most expensive player in the entire Italian league, and suddenly an injury crippled Keita

and he was no longer able to walk on the pitch, and Liverpool bought him for only €15 million. What a terrifying decline!

The sad thing is that Keita only played one game as a starter in the Premier League last year with Liverpool,

and he became unwanted and decided to leave this year, but he still hasn’t received any offers!

The surprise is that Liverpool is currently tied 2-2 with Bournemouth in their first league game today. 2,

and Arne Slot was forced to bring Keita on in the last 10 minutes so that Keita could score the winning goal with his first touch,

and the Liverpool fans chanted his name and rejoiced with him in this hysterical joy!

The joy that comes suddenly as a result of an unexpected moment of success is one of the best moments in life.

Football did Keita justice today.

The clock reached 94 minutes and the score was 3-2 in favor of Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah not scoring any goals. Do you think he’ll keep quiet?

No, he didn’t. He ran after the ball in the last second, even though it was far away from him and completely away from the goal,

and he was physically exhausted. He won it, ran with it, entered the area,

and scored a goal with his weaker foot. He scored a goal out of nowhere, literally!

Mohamed Salah has an extraordinary determination.

Just imagine, Mohamed Salah has become the only player in the history of the English Premier League to score 10 goals

in the opening games of the season, contributing to all 9 seasons with 9 opening games. It’s terrifying!

Not only that, but Salah has now scored 187 goals in the Premier League, tying him with Andy Cole as the fourth highest scorer in league history after Shearer, Kane, and Rooney.

Amazing!

A historic moment, we are in the presence of the king of the Premier League, Mohamed Salah.

Mohamed Salah scores in the league opener? Inevitable!! 🤷🏻‍♂️Salah scoring in the league opener has become inevitable!

The man has been in England for nine years and has managed to score at least one goal in every season opener!

There was only one season in which he failed to score, in 23/24 against Chelsea, and that was when he only provided an assist.

Salah is now the player with the most goals in Premier League history in opening games, with 10 goals, breaking the records of Rooney and Lampard.

The Premier League season has just begun.

The words spoken by Mac Allister, Liverpool midfielder

and one of the best midfielders in the world, about Mohamed Salah clearly illustrate the magnitude

and reason behind Mohamed Salah’s dazzling success with Liverpool!

McAllister said that when he first arrived at Liverpool, he tried to compete with Salah, for example, he tried to reach the goal before Salah, but he couldn’t do it even once

and said that it was impossible!

For example, he decided to do abdominal exercises with him, thinking he would win because he was only 24 years old and Salah was 31.

The result was that Mac Allister couldn’t complete more than three sessions because it was too painful for him, unlike Salah!

McAllister ended his comments about Salah with a beautiful sentence, saying that Salah is the one who determines our style at Liverpool,

and that Salah is the best professional player he has ever seen in his life!

So it’s no surprise that today, Mohamed Salah is starting his ninth season with Liverpool and is the all-time leading foreign goalscorer in the English Premier League.

Salah has achieved this incredible consistency not only because of his talent, but also because of his intense commitment!

Mac Allister said he is the best professional player, and Ian Rush, Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer, said he is a Premier League legend. Unbelievable!

On the occasion of the start of the English Premier League today,

and for the first time in 10 years, we will not see Son in the league, so let me tell you about some very interesting details mentioned by the Asian Football website about Son’s departure from Tottenham!

Last January, Son experienced significant physical problems due to Pochettino’s style of play and suffered four injuries during the season, causing him to miss 17 games!

Son then felt that he would not be able to continue with Tottenham, but he asked the management at

the time to renew his contract for one year because he felt that Tottenham deserved to earn money from him instead of letting him leave for free this summer!

The nice thing was that Tottenham coach Thomas Frank offered Son a one-year contract extension, but Son refused because he had a problem with his recovery

and had doubts about maintaining his level and did not want to be a burden on the team!

In the end, Son officially moved to Los Angeles to prepare himself for the 2026 World Cup,

and Tottenham earned €22 million, making it the most expensive deal in the history of the American league!

A great lesson in professionalism and honesty from the best Asian player in the history of the English league, the dazzling Son Heung-min.
