Former Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike spoke to Sky Sport De. He spoke of his time in Paris, without any animosity or regrets. He also spoke highly of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.
Ekitike “I’ve always felt the confidence of my team-mates and the coach”.
“Of course, you worry when you don’t get playing time. What’s more, I’ve always felt the trust of my team-mates and the coach. I try to give something back every day, by doing my best.
On Neymar
When it comes to elegance, my favorite player is Neymar. I could spend hours watching videos of him on YouTube. I love being inspired by him. What he does on the pitch is incredible.
Ekitike “I’ve always been impressed when I’ve played with them”.
On Mbappé and Messi
I’ve always been impressed when I’ve played with them. They’re on another level. They always try to do their best. I work hard to be like that.”
He’s a respectful young man.After a complicated period and not always attractive treatment by the Parisian management, he has bounced back.However, he didn’t leave with rage in his belly; he remains measured and humble. His words about the “Fantastic 3” also show that he was well aware of being part of something big.
He remains respectful and doesn’t criticize the club as some do as soon as they leave.It’s a shame we didn’t dig a little deeper with this player, but his level was clearly not good enough and time is running out at this level.We wish him all the best for the rest of his career.
