At 23, Zeki Amdouni moved from FC Basel to Burnley FC and discovered the best championship in the world, the Premier League. The Geneva native gave an interview to RTSsport, during which he looks back on his career and his current season. Find the long version of this meeting in this article.
With 4 goals and an assist in 29 league games, Zeki Amdouni’s first season in the Premier League is not a smooth ride. Burnley are struggling and Amdouni is playing less. The 23-year-old striker has only been started by his coach Vincent Kompany once since February 17. It was against Chelsea on March 30. To add insult to injury, he had to give up his place in the 45th, a collateral victim of the red card received by his teammate Lorenz Assignon.
Meeting with Zeki Amdouni – long version / RTS Sport / 7 min. / yesterday at 7:05 p.m.
Mathieu Germanier met him at his home in Manchester, an hour from Burnley, before the Clarets’ trip to Everton (1-0 defeat on Saturday). “I started against Manchester City, I said to myself ‘I’m there’,” explains the 23-year-old. “I don’t worry about it, I play and I try to play my game. But looking back, my family and my friends who ask me ‘do you notice?’, it’s true that it’s something beautiful .”
“I have a rather atypical and quite crazy career, I was given nothing,” says the Swiss international. “It makes me laugh that people think it’s a tragedy for me to be on the bench of a Premier League club and think that I’m having a bad time. But not at all because it’s just a stage in my career. Having already played 28 matches in the Premier League in my first season, I think it’s a successful challenge.”
