Youssoufa Moukoko quietly criticizes BVB after the U21 national team game. He also addresses his adjustment difficulties in professional football.
Side swipe at club: After his brace in the U21 game of the German national team, Youssoufa Mokuko expresses slight criticism of his parent club. “My role is to score goals. Here I get the trust of the coach,” said the 17-year-old in an interview with “Sky” and “Kicker”. “That gave me a lot of self-confidence.”
Short, compact, clear
Moukoko admits adjustment difficulties: The super talent from Dortmund admits that it initially had problems finding its way in professional football. “[The] rhythm in professional football is very different than in youth football. I had to figure that out first. My body wasn’t ready yet.” This is how he explains his many injuries for a young professional.
Challenge for the next season: In the next season, Moukoko wants to attack. “I definitely want to gain more match practice, score more goals and definitely stay injury-free.” After the departure of superstar Erling Haaland, the 17-year-old could take the next step at BVB next season.
