Naturally ambitious, Johan Bakayoko is approaching this summer’s Euro without complexes. Whether individually or collectively.
In just over a year, Domenico Tedesco has accomplished a lot in the national team with results which have not yet revealed the slightest defeat, convincing matches against England and Germany, but above all a remodeled group.
Except that all this will very quickly be put aside by the truth on the ground at the Euro. With his first major tournament at the head of the group, Tedesco will take his first real exam. Enough to give rise to impatience with the general behavior during the competition.
Johan Bakayoko can’t wait to do battle: “We really have an extraordinary group. If we play like we did against England, anything is possible I believe. There are no limits. Several players know how to make the difference in the group, in several different ways We will soon know if we can hold an entire Euro. It’s a great challenge,” he told RTBF.
What role for Bakayoko at the Euro?
On his right flank, the winger PSV will have things to assert: “I naturally hope to be at the Euro with the Red Devils […] What can I offer compared to my competitors? I am a very complete player, I know how to do everything in my position. I have everything a modern winger needs.”
Especially since the feeling goes rather well with the coach: “Tedesco reminds me of our coach at PSV, Peter Bosz. It requires a lot of intensity. On offensive work, he gives us a certain freedom. This approach works well for me. Defensively, Tedesco asks me to make the necessary withdrawals. There are sometimes specific missions, it depends a little on the encounters.”
