Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has expressed pride in his teammates after their impressive 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
The Belgian came off the bench and played a crucial role in the triumph, netting one of the goals himself. Following the final whistle, he acknowledged the challenge of earning a result at Liverpool's famed ground.
“I am really happy. We know how tough it is to play here. The match was intense from the very start, and we’re all delighted to win. Games at Anfield always carry a tense atmosphere, which is what we expected. I am proud of my team. We dealt with the situation well,” said Doku.
Maresca’s clear instructions
Doku also revealed the guidance he received from manager Enzo Maresca upon his introduction in the second half.
“He simply told me what position I would be playing. When you’re on the bench, you’re always looking for ways to impact the game. I was able to do that,” the winger noted.
In a humble manner, Doku rejected any notion of taking full credit for the success, downplaying his goal.
“I don’t want to take all the credit for myself. There’s someone above me who allows me to do these things,” he commented.
Doku stays focused on the pitch
When asked whether the players discussed the news surrounding Manchester City prior to the match, Doku opted to keep the focus on football.
“I’m only here to talk about the game. We prepared well and are glad to have won,” Doku concluded.
Manchester City secured three points at Anfield thanks to goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Ryan Cherki. This victory continued their strong start to the season, with Doku emerging as a key figure in the second half.
