The Transfermarkt site, which provides overall or detailed statistics on each player, is the Wikipedia for football fans. Consulting it in the middle of a match has become a reflex gesture, the answer to the slightest question. On Saturday afternoon, the name most searched for by users was that of Kwadwo Duah, 27, the Swiss team striker who had just scored the first goal for the Nati against Hungary in Cologne. But where does this player come from, whose name a large part of the impressive colony of red and white supporters overflowing from the opposite stand did not know less than a month ago?
“You didn’t know him but he was one of the players we followed. From now on, all of Europe knows it,” laughed Murat Yakin, delighted with his discovery. Thus, while the other Swiss center forwards play in the biggest European championships (Breel Embolo at Monaco, Noah Okafor at AC Milan, Zeki Amdouni at Burnley), it is the scorer of… Ludogorets who started the Euro as a starter, apparently becoming (you have to trust the statisticians) the first player in the Bulgarian championship to score a goal in a final phase of a European championship.
