“At BVB I have the chance to develop as a player and gain new experiences. I’m really excited about the tasks ahead and I want to be as successful as possible with this team. I can hardly wait to experience the stadium with its extraordinary fans as a BVB professional,” explained Füllkrug in an interview on the club channels. Above all, the international appearances in the Champions League would irritate the national striker.
In the group phase, he and his new team will meet the heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle United (overview). With a view to the home European Championship next summer, Füllkrug can now show itself on an even bigger stage.
Füllkrug: “Champions League a level I want to master”
“The Champions League is a level that I want to master,” said Füllkrug in a BVB interview. In it he also made it clear after his move: “If I’m honest, what was my dream solution from the start.” He asked teammate Julian Brandt beforehand whether he could help and got the right answers. He still has a lot of respect for his former club Werder Bremen. The people of Bremen “will always have a piece of my heart,” said Füllkrug.
The transfer, which was made perfectly on Thursday, also harbors a certain risk for him. In Sébastien Haller and Youssoufa Moukoko he has strong competition in the center of attack at BVB. Normally there is only room for one striker in Dortmund. Füllkrug was set for Werder Bremen, where he scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga last season.
