Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, insists that it is unfair to compare the club’s new signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mustafa-Amini-c27104 to Shinji Kagawa.
The 19-year old made his move to the Bundesliga side on July 4 2011; he was initially loaned out to Central Coast Mariners, the club Black Yellows bought him from. He made a total of 45 appearances for the Australian side.
The Sydney native has not featured for the Australian senior side but has four appearances for the Under-23 team. Although the attacking midfielder has yet to make an appearance for the Dortmund club, but he comes to Europe with
a lot of promise. He is considered to be the best footballer http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Australia-c746 has ever produced after Harry Kewell.
The 19-year old has a lot of potential but it will be a huge task to break into the Borussia Dortmund starting line-up which consists of some of the most exciting players in German Football.
The departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 will boost his chances of featuring in the first team. Amini, who is a similar player to Kagawa as both like to play in a free role just behind the main striker.
The arrival of the Australian has invited comparisons with the Japanese international, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Zorc believes the comparison would only put further pressure on the youngster’s shoulders. He insists the club will be patient with
the 19-year old, and will aid his development.
"Putting such a burden on a young player's shoulders does nothing for them. We will give the necessary amount of time to Amini, and show the patience you must have with young players,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Central Coast Mariners’ player revealed that the move to Germany was a new experience for him, and he will use it to his advantage by learning as much as he can to become a complete player.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 is a whole new world for me. I want to learn as much as I can and become a better player," he added.
Many Australians have made moves to Europe but only a few of them have been able to adapt and succeed in the west. This youngster however, is at the right club because Jurgen Klopp’s side are the best at nurturing and developing
new talents.
