Yussuf Poulsen takes his meager goal haul with humor and makes people sit up and take notice with noteworthy statistics. "I think Cristiano Ronaldo also had zero goals in the first 25 games," said the Denmark international from RB Leipzig. Poulsen means the record in the Champions League - and the superstar from Portugal once even celebrated his goal debut only in the 27th game. Poulsen himself currently stands at one goal in 30 games in the premier league.
His accuracy is, of course, not the reason why he has regained his regular place and will probably also be in the starting eleven on Wednesday evening (21.00 clock/DAZN) against Manchester City. Poulsen is a fighter, runs after every ball and annoys opposing defenders with his robustness. "I'm happy to be properly fit again. It took me a while to get back to this level," said the 29-year-old.
The Dane, who has been playing in Leipzig for more than a decade, has had a period of suffering for almost two years. Again and again pinched a muscle or the immune system caused problems. In the summer, Poulsen was considered a candidate for sale, but his status as an identification figure saved him from the siding.
