I spent a lot of time with my mum and my little brother. It was just football. I was going to school and playing football. Everywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: I saw a video of your brothers and friends when you scored your first Liverpool goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: I remember my friend was there, but it was too much &#8211; I don&#8217;t like that kind of video. But it was nice because when I was in Paris, they were there with me. I have the same people there when I have success and when I don&#8217;t have success, and I think they are very proud of me and I think in time they are going to be good memories to see on video. Hopefully they will be there for many more goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: You said there you don&#8217;t like that sort of video. Are you quite a private person?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: If it&#8217;s me, I show this to people. I know it comes with being a football player with Liverpool &#8211; you are more famous, but my private life I don&#8217;t want people to know. I like to be famous but unknown. People don&#8217;t know what I am doing when I am home or what I do during my free time or talking to my brother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: What do you do on your typical day off away from football?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: One day off or two days off?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: Your choice. Do you get two days off at Liverpool often?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: Not often, but if it happens I go to Paris to my family house and meet everybody. If I have one day off, honestly there&#8217;s not much I can do. I just chill at home &#8211; recovery, PlayStation, swimming pool, jacuzzi. I watch movies. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: What kind of movies do you like?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: My favourite one? I have two which are Whiplash and The Wolf of Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: Tell me one thing about yourself that might surprise me:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: I am left-handed, you didn&#8217;t know? I don&#8217;t know, something special? <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: Have you got a secret talent?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: Ah yes, I have one. I can draw. People, everything, life. Sometimes I like to draw. It&#8217;s always been easy for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: If you could only achieve one more thing in your career what would it be?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: It&#8217;s difficult because I want to achieve so many things but, right now, Premier League with Liverpool. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kelly: That&#8217;s why you came here isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hugo: Yeah. I know how special it is to win the Premier League for English people. Especially here. So, yeah, to win the league with Liverpool it would be class. I&#8217;m excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kelly: What are your memories from your childhood? Hugo: I grew up more with my mum.
