With his 36 competitive appearances, Alphonso Davies has been an absolute regular at the German soccer champions FC Bayern Munich this season. The 19-year-old really got off to a good start, especially under Hansi Flick. The record master honored his achievements with a long-term working paper until 2025.
The Canadian, who has been playing at Bayern for almost a year and a half, is living his dream with Munich, as he himself recently emphasized in the “Sky” interview: “I am very grateful for what I have been able to achieve so far. that it doesn’t go too much to my head. I have people who keep me on the ground. Of course you see all your successes and you are happy. But at the end of the day you know that you can achieve all of this because you put the hard work into it . “
In the course of the first half of the season Davies had earned his regular place on the left defensive outer lane after some defenders like Lucas Hernández and Niklas Süle had injured at Bayern. While David Alaba was called up for central defense, the young Canadian took over his position as left-back and has since filled it with outstanding speed and pass values.
The youngster is extremely inquisitive and wants to continue to benefit from his older teammates: “Being allowed to play as a left-back is great. Especially with a guy like David (Alaba, editor’s note) next to me, a world-class left-back who explains his ways to me is really very interesting. “
Davies full of anticipation for the finals of the premier class
The young “Phonzie”, who was set up by Flick predecessor Niko Kovac as a left-back for the first time, has long since become a favorite with the public – although it has not been allowed to play in front of spectators since March.
According to Davies, it is a big goal for him and his team to preserve the last outstanding form until the final tournament of the Champions League. Then it would even be possible to win the title in the premier class. The victory in the competition, which the left foot has been enthusiastically pursuing for years: “The Champions League is one of the largest competitions in the world. Having all these great teams in one place is amazing. I don’t know what to say. Growing up and following the Champions League and then being part of it, hearing the anthem and feeling the atmosphere just gives you that emotional feeling. “
