Matthäus and Strunz praise Dortmund and Germany’s Felix Nmecha | OneFootball

Felix Nmecha was not completely happy with Borussia Dortmund's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday, just like his teammates and the officials. However, the central midfielder, who was rightfully named the player of the match by kicker, could be satisfied with his own performance, including his somewhat fortunate goal that gave them a temporary 2-1 lead.

Nmecha's positive development at BVB over the past year and a half has not gone unnoticed elsewhere. While there are recurring rumors of interest from the English Premier League, two former national players and current TV experts also praised Nmecha on Sunday evening on Sky90.

Nmecha as BVB's Rodri?

Lothar Matthäus believes the 25-year-old has the potential to play a key role not only at BVB but also in the German national team: “If Felix Nmecha continues this development and remains injury-free, he will not only be a focal point in Dortmund but can also be the playmaker in the national team, a role Kimmich no longer fulfills due to his new position.”

Meanwhile, Thomas Strunz sees even more potential in Nmecha and draws a fundamental comparison to one of the top players in the central midfield position: “I believe Felix Nmecha can do much more. In my view, he is playing below his potential. We are now evaluating that he scored a goal, that he scored two in Copenhagen in the Champions League. He can potentially be the focal point of Borussia Dortmund in midfield, like Rodri at Man City in central midfield.”
