Jeremy Doku after the derby with Manchester United: the player spoke about the baptism ritual.

A day to remember

According to The Sun: Jeremy Doku celebrated derby day with a stunning 3-0 victory over United and went for baptism after the game.

The Belgian winger showcased excellent football, helping his team not only secure victory but also crucial points in the championship.

Doku opened the scoring in the match, assisting Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, and throughout the match he was a whirlwind on the pitch, causing problems for the 'Red Devils'.

After the game, he shared his thoughts on the baptism that inspired him:

“To be honest, I already considered this game a victory. Why? Because I knew that after the game I would go for baptism.”

Strong faith

Doku, who is celebrating his 23rd birthday, has repeatedly emphasized the importance of faith in his life. “It's the center of my life. Nothing is more important than faith,” he says.

For him, adult baptism has a special meaning:

“It can be done in childhood, but usually it's for older ones who truly understand their actions.”

The footballer also expressed satisfaction with the game, stating that it was a “good day”:

“I was already excited before the game because I knew it was a day of victory.”

Team prospects

Coach Pep Guardiola is working on bringing the team back to winning ways after a series of failures. Doku noted that the team is starting to understand the new tactics:

“Today was a good day, so I am happy.”

The next challenge for 'Manchester City' is a match against 'Napoli' in the Champions League. Doku is looking forward to meeting Kevin De Bruyne, with whom he recently played for the Belgian national team:

“It's exciting because a week ago I played with him, and now I will play against him.”

Jeremy Doku's important victory was not only a sports achievement but also a personal accomplishment related to his faith and religious beliefs. This highlights that football matches often become not only competitions but also significant moments in players' lives. Remaining true to his principles, Doku continues to inspire young athletes both on and off the field.
