In the fierce duel between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the first round of the English Premier League, although the two sides shook hands with 1-1, Leicester City striker Fatawu's outstanding performance undoubtedly brought a lot of highlights for the team. After the match, he was interviewed by the club's official website, sharing his thoughts and experiences about the match.
On his Premier League debut, Fattawu couldn't hide his excitement: "It's a special day for me, I feel honored and excited to be able to stand on a Premier League pitch and realize my dream. Although the match resulted in a draw, I am very satisfied to get a point from it. I will take this game as a new starting point and continue to work hard to contribute more to the team."
Talking about the difference between the Premier League and previous leagues, Fatawu said, "The games in the Premier League are really more intense and demand more physical and technical skills from the players. Here, you need to keep running and work closely with your teammates in order to cope with the high-intensity confrontation. I believe that as the game progresses, we will gradually adapt to this rhythm and show better athleticism."
Fattawu was even more grateful for the support of the Leicester City fans: "The fans were fantastic! Their cheering and encouragement gives me a lot of energy and makes me focus on the game. I love playing here because the passion of the fans makes me feel special and gives me the motivation to give more to the team."
Speaking about the draw, Fattawu gave credit to the coaching team, "It's thanks to our coach. In the second half, he laid out clear tactics for us in the locker room so that we knew how to better control the pace of the game. We followed the coach's instructions and eventually managed to equalize the score. This game made us more confident and showed us our potential."
In addition, Fatavu made special mention of his assist: "Vardy is always so good, I trust him with his runs and shots. Every time I get the ball, I think of him first and try to get the ball into a position where he can score. I am very happy to be able to give him an assist again today. I'm sure we'll continue to work together like this in future games to create more scoring opportunities for the team."
