France will face Iceland at home in the World Cup qualifiers in the early hours of next Wednesday. At a press conference before this game, French international Ekitic, who joined Liverpool this summer, talked about multiple topics such as the nationa...
Regarding the integration of the French team's forward line, it is a real honor to be a member of the national team's forward. They are all very strong, and I even enjoy watching them play. I take this as a learning because they are more experienced than I do. We don’t have much time to build a tacit understanding, but being with them is really a treat and I want to work hard to get to their level.
Regarding whether there is still a grudge against former Paris Saint-Germain coach Galti and the team
No, this is not revenge. It's just part of football, I stick with it and always believe in myself. It's not right to talk about revenge, I don't have any resentment towards Galti or Paris Saint-Germain. It was a learning experience, and I had no regrets. I have made great progress at Paris Saint-Germain, both as a player and as an ordinary person.
About Liverpool Life
Of course, my life has changed a lot. This is an important transfer and I am now receiving many times more attention than before. But I'm positive about it, and that's where I want it. On this high-level stage, you need to prove that you deserve this position and continue to perform well. I like this position and hope to keep it going.
About former PSG teammate Kimpenbe went to Qatar to play football
I haven't seen Kimpenbe in a while, but he is a very good person and we communicated frequently during our time at PSG. I know he has encountered many difficulties in recent years due to injuries. I'm glad to see him win the Champions League and know that it means a lot to him. I hope everything goes well in his new environment.
About my image in the eyes of the French public, of course, this is very important to me. When I was at Paris Saint-Germain, people didn’t think of me completely, but that’s part of football. At that time, I was in a club with many superstars, and this experience was difficult but necessary. Nowadays, I'm getting more attention in Liverpool and people see me differently. I am very happy to be able to return to France with the French national team to show who I am, and I hope this situation can continue.
About my on-court position
I consider myself an all-around forward and can compete in multiple positions. Recently I have been more active in the middle lane, which is my training focus. But in a team at this level, you also need to be able to adapt to other positions, and I have the ability to do that. Here, I will do it as required. No matter where I play, I will do my best.
It is a pleasant thing about Liverpool's introduction of another striker Isaac
. When you play for top teams, you will naturally compete with the best players. I've also watched Isaac's game and I'm very happy to see him join Liverpool. This will bring about fierce competition, but I will also work hard to perform, making it difficult for the head coach to choose one of two.
