Ekitic: I still have a lot to improve and it’s easy to resonate with Werz

In an interview with the club's official website, Liverpool striker Ekitic talked about topics such as his adaptation. He said that he still has a lot to improve.

About your adaptation at Liverpool

Ekitic: "I think I adapted well, obviously I have a lot to improve, but I think it's a good start. It feels great to be with these players, they helped me adapt here and of course it makes it easier for me to play. When you play with such a good player, you can make progress, you can achieve such success, and most importantly, stay stable."

"It feels good to be compared to Sturridge, I know he is a very, very good player at Liverpool, so it's very OK, I want to do my best to surpass him. My mindset is: play with the best players in the world. This will help you get better, all players work together, and we will reach a higher level together. "

About the debut of the national team

Ekitic: "It's a proud moment for me and my family, and being selected for the French national team is a big step for me, especially because it's not easy to get into the national team - this team has a lot of good players, so it's very meaningful to be selected for the national team. Therefore, I'm very proud and very happy."

About your connection with Werz

Ekitic: "Werz is a very, very good player, I think he understands football, just like I understand football. We speak the same language on the court, so it's easy to resonate with him. But I don't think you've seen everything yet, better days are coming. But obviously we have a good connection, we're almost peers, the same generation, yes, we speak the same football language, and he's a great person outside of football."

About the busy schedule

Ekitic: "Kick Football is for competition, so I think it's the best feeling to be busy with football and play, especially for me. Personally, I like this feeling, you just think about football, eat, sleep, football, that's the best feeling, you'll be grateful for it."

About Burnley

Ekitic: "About Burnley players, there are two or three people I know in the French National Youth Team, I know they're excellent, so I believe that team is great. We need to focus and play this game with all our might, and I think we'll get a good result."
