Hugo Ekitike's adventure in Liverpool officially started on Wednesday. The French striker, bought for 95 million euros in Frankfurt, took his first steps in the Reds jersey during a friendly pre-season match won against Yokohama (3-1), in Japan. A performance that has already made a lot of talk.
Standed by Arne Slot, the ex-drummer of Eintracht (23) did not frankly had success until his break by Darwin Nunez. To his credit, a clever heel and a piqued strike that could have hit the bull's eye. Nothing transcendent, but nothing worrying either according to the local press.
Hugo Ekitike not spared: “What loss of money”
Internet users, on the other hand, were much more severe with the former PSG player. If some consider that it will take time, others are much less patient. “Terrible finish for a guy who cost 90 million”, “What loss of money”, “Nunez 2.0”, “this flop”can we read on X (formerly Twitter).
His detractors also did not fail to isolate an action on which the international hopes, well served in depth, succeeds in good control before tanging the brushes, on a land which was certainly not in good condition.
“Ekitike actually plays like Wembanyama”, “I saw enough”reacted some.
