Praise is pouring in for Japanese striker Kaoru Mitoma (26, Brighton) who destroyed giant Liverpool.
Liverpool lost 1-2 to Brighton in the 2022-23 England FA Cup Round 4 held at the American Express Stadium in Brighton, England on the 30th (Korean time) and was eliminated.
Japanese striker Mitoma scored a theatrical goal in extra time in the 47th minute of the second half when the match was 1-1 to eliminate Liverpool. Mitoma stunned Liverpool with a right-footed shot followed by sensational vaulting. 메이저놀이터
Defender Christian Burgess, who was Mitoma’s colleague when he was on loan in the Belgian league, said, “It was a complete Mitoma show. Mitoma took down Liverpool. It was like a Thierry Henry finish.”
Hwang Hee-chan and Minamino Takumi also scored goals in the Champions League against Liverpool and their stock prices rose. Eventually, the two made it to the Premier League. There are already messages of hope that Mitoma can go to a big club in the Premier League.
“In the first training, Mitoma was so fast I couldn’t stop him,” Burgess said. It was like lightning,” he said, confident of Mitoma’s success.
