“We’re Ready To Build Together” – Nwaneri

Ethan Nwaneri played his part in our 1-0 win over AC Milan in the Singapore National Stadium on Wednesday, and afterwards said he is excited for what is to come this season.

Three of our summer signings all made their first outings for the side, while several academy players were also involved.

After the game Ethan said: “I think it’s a good start from the team, we’re ready to keep pushing and training and working hard.

“It was hard, it was tough, but you need to do it in pre-season to get fit, so I think it was good and I enjoyed it.”

Ethan came close to opening the scoring in the first half, with a crisp drive that was well saved just as it was heading into the bottom corner.

We got the winner in the second half though, by which time Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga had come on for their non-competitive debuts, after Christian Norgaard had impressed in the first-half.

Ethan said the squad is are shaping up well ahead of the new campaign. “Yes, I think all the signings we’ve made have been brilliant and sharpening the team and making us even stronger. We’ve got some more back at home coming, so we’re ready for them to all come and build together.”
