RAFA THRILLED WITH NGOG IMPACT
[tr][td=1,1,357]Rafael Benitez today hailed the instant impact made by David Ngog in a Liverpool shirt after the young striker netted his second goal in two games against Valerenga last night. [/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1,487]Ngog slotted home the fourth goal of the night late in the game just three days after opening his account for the Reds with an equally clinical strike against Rangers at Ibrox.
Benitez is delighted with the early promise shown by his 19-year-old striker - but he insists the best is still to come.
"David is a young player but we knew when we signed him that he had a lot of ability and a lot of potential," said Benitez.
"It can sometimes be difficult for young players when they move to a new club, but he has done well and it will be good for his confidence that he has already scored two goals.
"It is now important that he keeps on working hard and trying to get better because he still needs to improve. I think that he will do that.
"His goals are positive but equally important is his movement because this shows that he has game intelligence which was one of the main reasons why we brought him to Liverpool." [/td][/tr] |
