Ligue 1 is back! And tonight, Paris Saint-Germain face Strasbourg in a Parc des Princes, very happy to see their stars again after the cut due to the World Cup. Lionel Messi will not be there, however, the Argentine world champion not being expected in Paris until January. A godsend for Hugo Ekitike (20 years old).
The former Stade de Reims striker had finally opened his goal counter just before the international break. A deliverance for a player recruited at a high price (loaned with a purchase option of €35 million, note). Tonight, Ekitike will therefore want to confirm and above all take advantage of the playing time granted by Christophe Galtier. Because since his arrival in the capital, the number 44 of the Rouge et Bleu has had to settle for crumbs: 2 starts in 9 L1 matches, 12 matches played in total.
Ekitike keeps confidence
Some then criticized him for having made the wrong choice for his progress. But in the face of criticism, Ekitike does not disassemble. “No, I know why I came here. Of course, when you arrive at a club like this, there are a lot of expectations. People expect performance and inevitably, if it doesn’t come, we ask ourselves questions.he said in an interview with Canal+before continuing.
“Me, I am in a position where I will always be questioned, because I came with a big label. This label, we must assume it. And that’s it, I accept it. It’s not a concern. If I’m bad, I’ll be the first to say it. And if I’m good too, I’ll be there and I’ll continue to be good. » And with the delayed returns of the globalists and their uncertain state of form, Hugo Ekitike clearly has a card to play.
