BVB, News: Lars Ricken had “great concerns” about Youssoufa Moukoko
Did BVB talent Youssoufa almost not end up in Dortmund? “At the time I had great concerns about signing him,” admits Lars Ricken in the podcast Ruhr news a. At the age of eleven, the attacker played at St. Pauli in Hamburg. Ricken had scruples about getting such a young player and tearing him out of his usual environment. But the consultant approached BVB and made it clear that the change should take place.
“His advisor said to me at the time: ‘I see him with you because you have shown that you are good with young players.’ That’s why we got him. So I more or less let myself be persuaded to take him on with us,” says the junior manager.
BVB also wants to convince its talents in the future by expanding the training ground. “The plans for this are already in the drawer, but then Corona came. That’s why they’re on hold for the time being,” explains Ricken. He envisages the expansion of grass pitches, an athletic and rehabilitation area, the construction of a sports hall and a day boarding school so that players can be better looked after between school and training.
