Floyd Samba spoke about a 5-0 win for Manchester City over Norwich City in the Carabao Cup.
It was an evening for the youngsters to shine at the Etihad Stadium. Sambascored twice for the hosts, Allan netted on his debut, and Ryan McAidoo wrapped up the evening with the fifth goal.
The Citizens continued their excellent form from the start of the season, beating Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Coventry City, Porto and Manchester United in the last month of football.
‘I couldn't be happier right now’
But for Samba, this game will certainly go down as an individual memory to hold onto dearly.
"Right before the game yesterday, the day before - I knew there would be an opportunity to get some minutes for the first time with the first team - to get a debut like that is mind blowing. I couldn't believe it myself - but that's just the beginning, I've got a big career ahead of me. It was a great debut.
"I couldn't be happier right now, being my first senior debut, you have to expect everything to go well, the intensity, the level of players, everything goes up and you have to be able to match it and cope with it, and I think I did well with that. Coming from the 21's to first-team training, that's a big jump - the sessions are more tiring, you have to run more - they demand more of you and you have to cope.
"I spoke to all of them [the first team players], they've all been brilliant with me - before the game, giving me advice - play your game, be you - those words gave me confidence and helped me score those two goals today. I can't wait - recover now, rest, the team goes again - training tomorrow and then Sunderland on the weekend - everyone has to be prepared for that."
