00:00 We are very happy with our recruitment and that we recruited the right character.

00:08 Because he can perform under stress and when things go against him, like in the first season,

00:16 he has the ability to have a strong character and to be resilient and determined to score goals.

00:25 And that is what we saw when we scouted him.

00:30 Of course he needed some support because it's not so easy when he's so young,

00:34 but in general he kept calm and you see his abilities.

00:38 And also I want to mention in the start he didn't have so much luck.

00:42 He scored some goals, for instance the one against Brighton, his first game,

00:48 and then they disallowed him and no one still knows why.

00:51 And those moments are very important to come in a new club, in a new league,

00:59 especially for a striker, to build some confidence.

01:04 And that was not given, but you see he's a fighter, he keeps going and he has great abilities in front of the goal.
