In his initial debut for XI in the Europa League, the 19-year-old YB forward triumphs. There are praise from the coach.
Before the home game against CSKA Sofia, the Young Boys had scored 7 goals in 5 Super League games and 2 in the Europa League. One goal per game is a result that the Swiss champions are not satisfied with. So Fabian Lustenberger demanded in the run-up to the game against the Bulgarians that YB once again had to make a show of force with 3 or 4 goals in a match.
And the team rose to this challenge against Sofia with a 3-0 victory. Coach Gerardo Seoane had shifted to 5 positions from 1-1 in Cluj the week before. This measure paid off. “We prepare the games according to the opponent and we make sure we find the best solutions,” Seoane said.
No start time in Premiere
The best solution that night was Felix Mambimbi. The 19-year-old forward was in the starting eleven for the first time on the European stage and didn’t need any starting time. In the second minute, the Under-21 international took advantage of a mistake on the ZSKA defense to go 1-0. After just over half an hour, he was also worried about the 3-0 head-on.
“As a forward, you just have to be prepared when an opportunity presents itself,” Mambimbi said after the match. The Freiburg resident was happy about his successful performance. “For a 19-year-old, two goals in the Europa League are not an everyday thing. It’s a special day for me. “
He ran a lot for the team and showed his presence on the field.
His coach was also satisfied. “I’m very happy when a young player can show off so much, Felix played a very good game,” praised Seoane, who not only enjoyed the 2 goals from his protégé. “He ran a lot for the team and showed his presence on the field.”
Seoane is convinced that Mambimbi is a “very good fit” for the Young Boys offense for the tasks ahead. It wouldn’t be surprising if Sturm’s talents continued to cause a sensation as the season progressed.
