Robertson: Ngumoha has a promising future. I shouldn t be too bad to the referee. I just think it s a penalty kick
Robertson recently accepted an interview with the media and praised Ngumoha's progress.
Robertson praised Ngumoha's progress during his second stop at Liverpool Asia and encouraged the young winger to continue to perform well in the preseason. The youngster, who moved from Chelsea last year, performed well during the summer preparations and played well in the first half against AC Milan, despite the Reds losing 2-4.
Ngumoha scored last week in a closed-door friendly against Stoke City, before again contributing a stunning first-half performance against Serie A giant Milan. Robertson, who partnered with the England youth international on the left in Saturday's game, said that if the 16-year-old can maintain the current development momentum, the future will be unlimited.
Robertson tells Anfield Wrap: "He is a good kid, very clear-headed, especially with role models like Salah to learn. We have been trying our best to help him and Nioni. They are so young but so outstanding and have a bright future. You can see that they are improving every game, and with the increase in training and games, they are getting better and better. In the past two games, I partnered with Ngumoha on the left side. His performance has continued to improve. Not only is the future promising, but he is also in a very good state at the moment."
Robertson also apologized for his overreaction to the referee in the game. At that time, he thought he should get a penalty when he was fouled in the penalty area: "The first half is evenly matched, and that counterattack should not be lost. But we created good opportunities, and the midfield connection was also very smooth. We failed to continue this state in the second half. Although the loss was regrettable, we gained a lot. The training intensity this week was very intense, and everyone was exhausted, but it laid the foundation for subsequent preparations. "
" Sometimes I forget the camera was facing myself. Someone reminded me during the break, so I apologized for the emotional out of control. But I still think it was a penalty! When I broke into the penalty area - it was not common these days - I felt that it was a one-on-one, and the defenders blocked me. I originally wanted to compete for the penalty with Salah! But I shouldn't be too arrogant to the referee, and I apologize for this."
