Rapid Jewel Yusuf Demir’s enormous potential has likely already gone around the world, even as far as Denmark. During the press conference leading up to the World Cup qualifying match between Austria and Denmark, ÖFB team boss Franco Foda warned against the 17-year-old’s premature comparison with superstar Lionel Messi.
When asked by Danish journalists about his protégé Demir, Foda put this in perspective: “You have to be a little careful now.” “He is a young player who has now made his first appearance with the national team, but he has to develop further. It would be premature to compare him in any way with Messi,” said the national coach. “You’re not doing the young player any favors either, it’s Yusuf Demir,” Foda continued.
“But talent alone is not enough to get to the top. It takes hard work every day. You have to be curious, learn and develop every day,” added the 54-year-old, adding: “It definitely is. a player with a lot of creativity and individual class. He is good at one-on-one and dribbling, very dangerous for goals, plays good final balls “.
Foda and his coaching team will decide “during the day” if Demir will play a role against Denmark. The ÖFB team will face the Danes on Wednesday night (8:45 pm) at the Happel Stadium.
