Manor Solomon made his English Premier League debut with Fulham in a stunning 2-2 draw against title favorites Liverpool as the Craven Cottage faithful were thrilled with the Israeli\u2019s first appearance.<\/p>\n
The winger arrived in England after three seasons with Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk in what was a lengthy transfer process due to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Howvever, less than 24 hours after his debut, Solomon reportedly suffered a knee injury that may keep him on the shelf until December just after the World Cup.<\/p>\n
Solomon entered the match in the 66th minute immediately after the visitors had drawn even at 1-1. Following the game, the Sabra spoke about his debut with a huge smile plastered all over his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting and I was already getting ready for this opportunity since Thursday night when I was notified that I would be able to play. When the manager called on me to enter the game, I was ecstatic as I had wanted this so, so much. First game in the Premier League against one of the best clubs in the world. We recorded and excellent result despite even having a chance to win, but we will continue on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Solomon spoke about the difficulties he endured over the past number of weeks to finally get to the point that he could play, \u201cI always wanted to play against a team like Liverpool and I had quite a tough month to finally get here. I got to Fulham and I couldn\u2019t play in the friendlies, then I came down with COVID so my preparation wasn\u2019t ideal. But I am happy that I am here and I hope that I will be able to contribute a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The winger then talked about the challenges that lie ahead, \u201cThis is the most intense league that there is and I can feel that during training sessions as well. It\u2019s not easy but I am getting used to it. I always wanted to play in the Premier League and I believe that I can adjust to the play here and I hope that I will continue to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, Solomon reflected on the game that was, \u201cThe point we recorded against Liverpool gives us a lot of confidence and we played a terrific game against one of the best teams that there is. We created plenty of chances and we held them to just a few. We all understand what our goals are and we are trying to build a strong team that will be able to remain in the Premier League. We want to play quality football and not be afraid of any other club.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
