Johan Bakayoko is the replacement for the unfit Jeremy Doku in Belgium. Jan Boskamp understands that choice.
“Bakayoko is left-footed and has that action and speed that Tedesco (national coach Belgium, ed.) likes to see,” Boskamp says. The last news. “In principle, Trésor has that too, but if the national coach of that Red Bull football (Tedesco was a trainer of RB Leipzig, ed.) Wants to play, Bakayoko is a good one.”
“Moreover, he can drop back to midfield. Perhaps this was also a signal to Genk somewhere,” said Boskamp, who thinks that Tedesco may have wanted to show who determines what the selection looks like and possibly therefore Trésor (ex-Willem II) not selected.
Bakayoko stands out in the Eredivisie this season with five goals and three assists in sixteen games. The PSV player was also frequently in the news due to interest from superpower Paris Saint-Germain. Now the nineteen-year-old talent gets the chance to make it happen with the Red Devils.
