Ο 18χρονος Νγκουμόχα οδήγησε τη Λίβερπουλ σε επική ανατροπή στο Champions League
Ο Ρίο Νγκουμόχα ήταν ο μεγάλος πρωταγωνιστής στην εντυπωσιακή ανατροπή της Λίβερπουλ απέναντι στη Βιγιαρεάλ, καθώς οι «κόκκινοι» επέστρεψαν από το 0-2 και επικράτησαν με 4-3, πανηγυρίζοντας την τρίτη τους νίκη στη φετινή League Phase του Champions League. Ο 18χρονος επιθετικός πραγματοποίησε εξαιρετική εμφάνιση, αναδείχθηκε πολυτιμότερος παίκτης της αναμέτρησης και κέρδισε το θερμό χειροκρότημα των φιλάθλων όταν αντικαταστάθηκε στο 73ο λεπτό. «Ένα από τα καλύτερα παιχνίδια μου» Ο Νγκουμόχα χαρακτήρισε την εμφάνισή του μία από τις καλύτερες της καριέρας του, μιλώντας στο Amazon Prime, και ευχαρίστησε τους συμπαίκτες του για τη στήριξή τους. «Είναι ένα από τα καλύτερα παιχνίδια που έχω παίξει. Το διασκέδασα και η ομάδα με βοήθησε πολύ», ανέφερε. Αναφερόμενος στον τρόπο με τον οποίο αντιμετωπίζει τις προσωπικές μονομαχίες, έστειλε το δικό του μήνυμα για τη νοοτροπία που θέλει να διατηρήσει στο παιχνίδι του. «Όποτε παίρνω την μπάλα και υπάρχει η ευκαιρία να παίξω ένας εναντίον ενός ή δύο εναντίον ενός, πιστεύω στον εαυτό μου. Θα συνεχίσω και θα είμαι αδίστακτος», δήλωσε χαρακτηριστικά. Ο νεαρός άσος δεν έκρυψε, επίσης, τη συγκίνησή του για την υποδοχή που του επιφύλαξαν οι φίλοι της Λίβερπουλ κατά την αλλαγή του. «Έχουμε τους καλύτερους οπαδούς στον κόσμο και το να ακούω το όνομά μου να φωνάζεται είναι ένα όνειρο», είπε.
