He’s the big winner of this season at Bayer 04 so far. Jeremie Frimpong is a convincing right-back defender and has high ambitions. His goals: Elftal and a title with the Werkself.
It’s going on for Jeremie Frimpong. Also on Wednesday at the end of the session, when he won the game on the rebound board against Nadiem Amiri, Moussa Diaby and Daley Sinkgraven, where technique and dexterity were required.
The triumph that the little Dutchman celebrates with his arms raised is not his only personal achievement in recent times. On Sunday, the 20-year-old scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 3-1 win in Leipzig – only shortly after the hosts scored.
“It was an important moment in the game against a top team”, Frimpong classified his first goal on Wednesday lunchtime, but emphasized with all the joy: “We still have a long way to go this season.” Which should lead him and his colleagues to a great triumph.
“Of course it’s possible,” explains the right-back, “Leverkusen is a big club. We deserve to play for titles. We deserve to win titles. With the team we have, we can win titles. Secure.”
Frimpong and the greed for titles:
Frimpong says this with full conviction, even if the good-humored Dutchman has a sunny disposition. Frimpong answers the way he plays whether it is easier to triumph in the Bundesliga or in the Europa League after leaving the DFB Cup. Offensive.
“Every title would be good. A title is a title. It would be nice to win both,” he says and laughs, only to add unequivocally that he is basically serious: “We want to win things. We don’t just play to play . We want titles.”
