Transferring to Leipzig after an endless series of games, Lois Openda started her adventure with the Roten Bullen well. Now he has a lot to prove in the competition he dreams of, the Champions League.
21 goals in 41 matches, XXL performances against the greats of the French championship, and a worthy place in the elite Ligue 1 team. This summer, we asked ourselves this question: Has Openeda become too big for RC lenses?
Despite Song et Or’s qualification for the Champions League, the Red Devil has decided to take a new step in his career, which has progressed seriously since his second season on loan to Vitesse Arnhem.
The start of the season for Openda speaks in his favor in all respects, having already scored 3 goals and distributed an assist in the Bundesliga with Leipzig.
Champions League, Openda’s dream
His departure this summer was largely motivated by the prospect of a role in European football’s premier competition: the Champions League.
“Listening to the music of the Champions League is a childhood dream,” Openda declared, then in full swing with the lens, The voice of the north. ,“Playing as a starter, wanting to win and taking this club (Lens) very far, obviously, those are the ambitions.”
The Belgian has been selected, and given Lens’ slow start to the season – bottom of Ligue 1, he will have every opportunity to express himself and flourish in C1 under the colors of Leipzig, which An affordable group is well versed in G. (Manchester City, Young Boys, Red Star Belgrade).
To establish myself among the red devils, still growing
In other circumstances, questions would be raised over Openda’s status in the national team, having made some modest appearances since his debut with the Devils. Highlight: In 11 appearances, he never started.
Except that in front of him in the hierarchy, there is a certain Romelu Lukaku, who despite his recent failures at the club is displaying monstrous statistics in the national team (let’s not be afraid of words) and proved again against Estonia that it is simply were required .
So no, Tedesco is definitely not going to switch to a two-striker system to give Openda more playing time. He has to earn his place to progress at the club. If he is doomed to wait patiently for his chance as the Devils’ No. 2, only good performances in the Champions League will make him look good to Tedesco and public opinion.
This Tuesday, at 6:45 pm, things get serious against the Young Boys of Bern.
