The
20-year-old striker from Ecuador struck twice in the first half of
City’s 5-1 Boxing Day thrashing, making it three goals in just over a
week following his late consolation strike against Real Racing Club in
Santander.
It could even have been four, but his deflected back
heel at the Hawthorns last Sunday was chalked off as a Scott Carson
own-goal. All-in-all, not a bad week’s work for the young man who has
spent most of his 11 months at City on the sidelines after arriving at
the end of January from FC Basle.
Speaking via an interpreter
Felipe told us, “I am really happy, it has been a hard year for me but
I knew could make it into the first team here. I have had to be
patient, but I was determined to make the most of my chance when it came
“My
team mates have been very supportive of me, and I could not have got my
goals without their help. The Manager and the coaches have also shown
faith in me, so I wanted to show everyone what I could do when picked.
“Training
has been hard work but it’s enjoyable, and I hoped that if I kept doing
well in training then I would get a chance. There are some good
strikers here, but if I can get some more goals I hope to keep my place
in the team.”
