On yesterday’s brilliant evening, where the Borussia Dortmund outclassed Celtic in every way in the 7-1 win, Karim Adeyemi he took office. In fact, last night the attacking winger became the first German player to score 10 goals in the Champions League before the age of 23, thanks to a hat-trick and an assist in the 45 minutes played.
I play, I kick and I go out. Yes, because after just three minutes into the second half the class of 2002 was forced to come off for injury and leave camp in Duranville, but that didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for the dream night at all. In fact, once the match against the Scots fresh from the national double was over, former Juventus summer target Adeyemi spoke to the official microphones of BVB.
The declaration. “I set goals for myself every season,” he reported from the yellow and black home of Signal Iduna Park. “In the end it didn’t work. I learned from this. It took me a while to learn. The first half of the season wasn’t always positive for me. Now it’s different and I don’t try to help the team only in the second part of the season, but also in the first. This is why I don’t want to rest on my laurels.” A promise Nuri Sahin, the coach, and his teammates will keep in mind. Commenting: “How many assists and how many goals do I have? We’ll talk about it again at the end of the season.”
