FourFourTwo went out to RB Leipzig's base in East Germany to speak to one future superstar of the game about his development.
Antonio Nusa joined Die Roten Bullen last year, months after his move to Brentford collapsed. The wonderkid is now on the same path as the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai and Josko Gvardiol, who excelled in the Bundesliga before big European moves.
But Nusa, currently sidelined, has been compared to Dani Olmo instead and has now told FourFourTwo how it feels to have that pressure on his shoulders.
RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa: 'It's inspiring to know that it's possible to follow Olmo'
FourFourTwo has to pinch ourselves a couple of times while speaking to Nusa. He comes across like a veteran of the game and he's just 19 years old.
That maturity comes to the fore when comparisons with Dani Olmo are mentioned. RB Leipzig director, Marcel Schafer, made the bold claim but now, Nusa admits that he's not actually focused on following in the Spaniard's footsteps all that much.
Yeah, it's definitely inspiring, first of all, to know that it's possible, everything is possible and that gets me motivated, Nusa says.
I don't mind me taking his footsteps or whatever, I think this is not what I'm focusing on, it's not where my energy goes into. I'm trying to create my own path, my own footsteps and that's the only thing I do.
Sesko is good in the air and needs to have deliveries to score with a header, Rose said. Of course, he can also score from distance. But strikers are streaky, sometimes they have a phase in which they struggle to score, and it is often because of details.
It is because they get blocked more often. It is because opponents know what they are going to do and can anticipate. We will have to find solutions and create opportunities for them.
