Mathis Amougou, the 19-year-old midfielder who arrived in Racing, gave his first interview with the camera during the fall training in Bad Häring. Trained in Saint-Étienne and after a transfer to Chelsea, he was recruited by Racing for 15 million euros. The interview took place in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by his teammates who regularly joked with him, highlighting the spirit of camaraderie that reigns within the team. Amougou expressed his satisfaction with his integration, stressing the warm welcome of his new teammates and his enthusiasm for success at the club.
Amuougou evoked his player profile, describing himself as someone who likes to attack and defend, and who progresses by staying focused on his game area and analyzing the spaces. It is inspired by backgrounds such as De Bruyne and Bellingham for their pass quality and combativeness. He also stressed the importance of his experience in the Premier League, the world’s largest league, which allowed him to gain in physical intensity. He did not seek to replace the former parties, but to make his own contribution and continue to make progress.
Amuougou’s work label, which he describes as natural and rooted in his determination, is the result of a study education and a desire to become a professional from an early age. He is eager to discover the city of Strasbourg and the Meinau stadium, while being aware of the importance of supporting the supporters. He was convinced that a plan was in place for him and that he firmly believed in it, regardless of the obstacles. He finished by sending a message of enthusiasm to the fans of the Racing: “Jetzt gehts los!” (Let’s go!).
