Nigerian international Semi Ajayi insists Hull City are determined to forge their own path in the Premier League following a positive opening stretch to their campaign.
A recent 2-2 stalemate against Everton left the Tigers sitting in eighth position with nine points from their first six outings, with the Super Eagles defender playing a pivotal role in their solid form.
Speaking to Footy-Africa, Ajayi looked back on his strike against Manchester United as an unforgettable occasion, while stressing that securing positive results for the team always comes first. He noted that finding the net against such a renowned club was truly memorable, but emphasized that collecting the full three points was the ultimate goal.
The centre-back also dismissed any parallels drawn between Hull’s current form and Sunderland’s previous top-flight exploits, stating that the squad remains entirely focused on writing their own chapter rather than measuring themselves against others.
With a trip to face Fulham next on the calendar, Ajayi expects another fierce challenge and stated that the team will introduce a fresh tactical approach to maximize their points tally.
Despite the encouraging momentum, the defender concluded that unwavering focus and week-in, week-out consistency will be essential if the Tigers are to achieve lasting success this season.
