Off the back of his brace against Marseille in Saturday's 3-0 win for Norwich City, Jordan Hugill was quick to praise the team performance.
“It’s always nice to get on the scoresheet, especially in pre-season to get yourself going for the season," he said.
“More importantly, we’re working well as a team today and that was the main aspect. We weren’t bothered about the result. It was more about getting things right that we’ve been working on.
“We’ve had a few really good games but it’s nice to come up against a good standard of players and test yourself against the best. These are a Champions League team and it’s nice to play against them."
Hugill's headers wouldn't have been possible were it not for the accurate deliveries from Milot Rashica and Onel Hernandez.
“The crosses make it easy for me with the balls into the box," he said. "All I need to do is head down towards the goal. I’m delighted with the goals but the crosses make it for me.
“I’ve loved it and I love being here. It’s something that I was dying to get back into raring to go. Hopefully I can carry on doing that and see where it takes us for the season.
“It’s always good to get to know new people and the lads who have come in have been brilliant, so it’s nice to see old faces and be back playing with them, but the new faces are just as good as well.
“I feel really fit. I worked hard in the off season to get myself in the best possible shape and I feel as though it’s been paying off at the start of pre-season for me.
“We’ll get more minutes in the tank, get the fitness up and make sure we’re ready for Cardiff.”
