Hugo Ekitike praises Liverpool’s renewed energy ahead of Manchester clash
Liverpool head into their upcoming Manchester fixture buoyed by two strong performances at Anfield. The Reds secured a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa last Saturday, followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Real Madrid on Tuesday, offering a much-needed morale boost after a challenging spell that included six defeats in seven games across all competitions.
Speaking ahead of the match, striker Hugo Ekitike emphasized the team’s improved intensity and collective effort. “It’s not perfect yet, but when we step onto the pitch, I can genuinely feel that the boys are giving their all—sometimes even more than 100 percent—through their energy, pressing, and commitment against our opponents,” he said. “We are a different team to face now, and we just need to maintain this approach.”
Ekitike’s comments highlight the transformation under current tactics, reflecting a squad that has adapted well to the demands of the game and is regaining confidence. The team’s recent victories suggest that Liverpool is beginning to overcome the difficulties of their recent poor form and are becoming increasingly formidable against top opponents.
The striker also expressed optimism about the squad’s unity and work ethic, indicating that their determination on the field could make a significant difference in the season’s critical matches. Fans and analysts alike will be watching to see if this renewed drive continues against Manchester, potentially propelling Liverpool higher in the Premier League standings.
