With the free transfer of Randal Kolo Muani, Eintracht Frankfurt seems to have pulled off a real coup. The young striker impressed in the first weeks of the season and was even able to recommend himself for the French national team. The 23-year-old has now spoken about his decision to join SBU.
After eleven appearances in the Frankfurt Eintracht jersey, Randal Kolo Muani has already scored seven points: the attacker scored two goals himself, and he prepared five more in an exemplary manner.
France’s national coach Didier Deschamps was apparently so impressed by the performance of the 1.87 meter tall Bundesliga legionnaire that he promptly called him up for the first time in the selection of the reigning world champion for the Nations League.
The shooting star humbly approaches his test between Kylian Mbappé and Co. “I quickly said to myself that I first had to prove myself in training, during the two France games, but also in Frankfurt, and that I had to perform well. After that, the coach decides,” emphasized Kolo Muani in an interview with “Spox“.
Decision for Eintracht Frankfurt also thanks to Augustin
According to Kolo Muani, the fact that he ended up moving from FC Nantes to Frankfurt in the summer, although numerous other clubs from Germany and abroad had also courted him, was due to the trend towards France in the Bundesliga in recent years.
“When I looked at the other French players in the Bundesliga, I noticed that they performed well there. I also discussed it with Jean-Kévin Augustin (ex-RB Leipzig player; editor’s note). , who described a league with a lot of space and high intensity to me. I also understood that it was a league that matched my qualities,” revealed the offensive man.
However, the youngster first had to get used to a few things. “The Germans are very strict when it comes to schedules. If you arrive five minutes early, you’re already among the last. They’re there long before that. Before training, before you get to the dressing room, they’re all already in the room, to warm up,” said Kolo Muani, who has signed with SGE until 2027.
