In Fulham's 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the 2nd round of the English Premier League, new signing Smith Rowe made his debut at Craven Cottage and managed to score a goal, contributing to the team's victory. After the match, the highly-rated player was interviewed to share his feelings and journey of the game.
Speaking about his goal, Smith-Rowe couldn't hide his joy: "I really couldn't be happier! To be able to make my first appearance for the team at Craven Cottage and help the team get three points is an unbeatable feeling. My teammate Iwobi made a great run in the game and created a great opportunity for me to get on the scoresheet. His unselfishness enabled me to finish the goal with ease and I am very happy with my performance and thankful to him for his trust and support."
On becoming the most expensive signing in the club's history, Smith Rowe said, "It's a real benign pressure, but I feel very honored. From day one of joining Fulham, I have felt the friendliness and acceptance of the team and staff. Today, I also received a warm welcome from the fans, which made me feel very warm and at home. I will continue to work hard and repay their support with better performances."
Speaking about teammate Iwobi's goal, Smith Rowe didn't mince his words: "His goal was really brilliant! I'm heartily happy for him. We are a team and everyone is working hard for the team to win. Iwobi's goal not only showed his individual ability, but also the tacit understanding and cooperation between our team."
Finally, Smith Rowe also talked about the team's overall performance: "In our last match, we lost to Manchester United on the road, which put us under some pressure. But today, we showed our tenacity and team spirit and managed to get this crucial win. This is very important for us, not only does it boost our morale, but it also shows us our potential and strength. I believe that as long as we keep this kind of form and mentality, we will definitely be able to achieve better results in the coming matches."
