Freiburg's 20-year-old midfielder John Manzenby was selected for the Swiss national team's roster this time. When attending the press conference, he talked about his favorite position, his concern for the national youth team, and praised the national team captain Xhaka.
Although he has played mostly on the wing before, due to injuries in the team, Manzambi may play an important role in the core of the midfield this time. When asked about his preferred position, Manzambi said: "I don't care whether I play in the center or on the wing, the training preparation is the same." He even emphasized that it is acceptable to sit on the bench because the coach has previously "won three games in four games and has done a very correct job so far."
His family will come to watch the home game in Geneva, and Switzerland may defeat Sweden in this game to basically secure qualification for the World Cup. Manzambi: "I hope we can advance and I can be selected. It will be very nice for my family. The more important thing is to focus on the game. If we win, then plan the celebration."
The Swiss U17 National Youth Team successfully advanced to the group stage of this U17 World Cup. Manzambi said: "I watched a little bit of the World Cup. Every player is different, and I can't talk about how others make the jump from U17. To become a professional player. Not everyone has the same needs. But you must work hard and never give up."
Mia Jelovich, the playmaker of the Swiss U17 national youth team, also plays for Freiburg. "We send messages to each other sometimes. I hope he continues to be the best player in two of the first three games."
Manzambi also talked about his relationship with the national team captain Xhaka: "He is a very good captain. Many teams would like to have a captain like this. Before I met him, to be honest, I had no specific impression of him. But I can only say that he is a very good and very cheerful person. I am very happy to have him in our team. He welcomed me very warmly. We had some exchanges before my first training camp." , he gave me some advice."
When talking about his personal future and possible contacts with other clubs, Manzambi remained cautious: "I have not yet discussed my future with my family. My family has helped me a lot, letting me not think too much and stay grounded. I think it is important for me to be by my side so that my career can move forward step by step."Mini-game recommendations:Blob Opera
