Wind like Bendtner? Solbakken is convinced: "NEVER"
His start in the Bundesliga, this can be said after five games in the German upper house, has succeeded. Jonas Wind, at the end of January for twelve million euros committed by FC Copenhagen, came, saw and met. Already twice, which makes the 23-year-old Danes directly to the candidates chosen by the DFL as "rookie of the month". Not very surprised by the fast adaptation is his ex-coach: Stable Solbakken.
It is four years ago, the Norwegian, who trained the 1st FC Cologne in the Bundesliga, threw the 1st FC Cologne, the then 19 years young wind at FC Copenhagen into the cold water. Wind celebrated his professional debut in the Europa League at the guest match at Atletico Madrid (0: 1). "He was ready," remembers Solbakken, under the wind subsequently scored 22 goals in a total of 61 lots. "He has developed rapidly," reports the football teacher and current national coach Norway. "Jonas quickly adapted to the profin level in Denmark." That this succeeds in Germany, Solbakken has no doubt? "He manages that, I am convinced of it."
His supposed deficit balances wind with other skills
Although the pace is higher in the Bundesliga and the 1, 90 meter long striker is not the fastest. "But he was never before." This supposed deficit equals wind with other skills. Solbakken emphasizes his "enormous play understanding", "his ball control, he uses his secondary people well, is clever in the conclusion". The header game "is fine, so he has to become more courageous and more robust. But he has a good sense of where the ball comes."
Jonas is a wise and quiet guy, even outside the square.
Solbakken over wind
Which he has already demonstrated in Denmark. Wind came on 46 goals in 114 competitive games for Copenhagen, on top of that he scored four hits in twelve countries. That the 23-year-old after the millions-deal and his dream start in the Bundesliga could lose the ground liability - Landsmann Nicklas Bendtner had once had many hands over his heads in Wolfsburg - keeps his former coach excluded. "Never," says Solbakken, "Jonas is a smart and quiet guy, also outside the square."
And where is he best lifted on the lawn? "It's best to be nine and a half, even at the front when he has a partner around him. Jonas is nobody who goes into the depth." In contrast to Lukas Nmecha, who celebrated his comeback after his ankle break last weekend against Union Berlin (1: 0). Front Nmecha, Behind Wind and Max Kruse? "That," finds Solbakken, "sounds very good."
The pepi relationship
Detail on the edge: If the VfL Wolfsburg would have won the race for the US Talent Ricardo Pepi in January, it would not have come to the winter transfer of wind. However, as the requirements of the FC Dallas for PEPI, however, exceeded the 15 million euros that the VFL would have been ready to pay, the Managers Jörg Schmadtke and Marcel Schäfer stopped their efforts around the attacker. Pepi (still without hits) changed for 16 million euros to Augsburg, Wind came for twelve million from Denmark - and ensures abundant satisfied faces at VfL.
