Karim Adeyemi encourages Borussia Dortmund: “We can do it”

For Karim Adeyemi, the top Bundesliga game with Borussia Dortmund at Bayern Munich on Saturday (6.30 p.m.) is also a journey into his past. He was sorted out as a youth at FC Bayern. “I was only eleven years old, that hurt me as a little boy from Munich,” said the 21-year-old WAZ. “That was bad.”

Adeyemi then took the detour via SpVgg Unterhaching. “I was a kid, I didn’t do bad things. I was very young, childish, playful, I wouldn’t call that undisciplined,” he said. “The good thing: With Unterhaching we quickly became better than Bayern in our youth. Rivalry arose and we were able to defeat them.”

That is also BVB’s goal for the league summit. “I really want to be at the top, we can do it,” Adeyemi said. “But of course we know where we’re coming from and that we were nine points behind in December.”
