“A dream”: experts heap praise on BVB star Nmecha | OneFootball

Following his strong performances at the World Cup, Felix Nmecha is increasingly coming into the spotlight. Experts are showering the BVB pro with praise and are even drawing comparisons to Jude Bellingham.

Felix Nmecha continues to impress at the World Cup. After his standout performance in the 7-1 win over Curaçao, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder also delivered in Germany’s 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast. The 25-year-old made a real statement in stoppage time in particular, setting up Deniz Undav for the winning goal with a precise pass.

The BVB player’s performances have not gone unnoticed by pundits either. On WM-Doppelpass, Nmecha was showered with praise after the match. Former Germany international Olaf Thon even compared him to a former Dortmund fan favorite. “Nmecha reminds me a lot of Jude Bellingham, just a little more defensive,” said the 1990 World Cup winner on Sport 1.

Stefan Effenberg was also impressed by the international’s qualities. The former DFB captain especially highlighted his work off the ball. “What sets him apart is his composure on the ball and also the runs he makes. Especially the runs back as well, where he worked incredibly hard yesterday,” Effenberg explained. For him, it is clear that Nmecha has now taken on a central role in Germany’s midfield.

Mario Basler found even stronger words. “What Nmecha is doing there is a dream. He’s simply playing outstanding football,” enthused the former Germany international. At the same time, Basler believes these strong performances could spark interest on the transfer market. “I believe Dortmund could receive one or two major offers,” he predicted.

However, BVB are in a comfortable position. Nmecha is still under a long-term contract with the Black and Yellows until 2030. In addition, he enjoys the full trust of coach Niko Kovac, who thinks very highly of the midfielder.

Since his move from VfL Wolfsburg to Dortmund in the summer of 2023, Nmecha has continued to develop steadily. After a strong season at club level, he now appears to have truly made his breakthrough on the international stage as well. His performances at the World Cup could therefore become highly significant not only for the German national team, but also for Borussia Dortmund.
