Johan Bakayoko: Belgian Prodigy Who Snubbed Premier League For RB Leipzig In Bundesliga
The German Bundesliga has become a deep pool of talent, creating, nurturing, and even supplying top-quality footballers all across the globe. One of the clubs that has quickly developed a reputation of helping promising youngsters become world-class players is RB Leipzig. In a transfer window that saw Leipzig lose a player of the quality of Benjamin Sesko, sold to Manchester United for over 80 million Euros, the club quickly moved to capture another highly promising player from the market, Belgian winger Johan Bakayoko. In a chat with NDTV during a round table media conference, Bakayoko shared insights into his transfer to the German Bundesliga despite concrete interest from multiple clubs in the English Premier League. Responding to a query from NDTV about the role fellow Belgian internationals, Lois Openda and Arthur Vermeeren, who also play for Leipzig in the Bundesliga, played in his transfer to the club, Bakayoko admitted that it was important for him to hear from them about how they felt at Leipzig. "I think indirectly, yes. Because for me, it makes it easier to adapt to a new environment. Because they're already here. It's not that I talk to them about whether I should come or not. Because I think for me, it wasn't the right thing to do. It was just about asking how they feel there and stuff like that. "It's always nice to have friends there. To have friends who can help you and to help you develop. And also see their development since they arrived. So, yes," he added. Freewheeling Conversation With Jurgen Klopp Bakayoko also spoke to former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp before his transfer from PSV to Leipzig. Klopp doesn't hold a managerial role at the Bundesliga club but is the Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull, the owners of RB Leipzig. During the media conference, the Belgian attacker revealed that Klopp didn't push him to sign for Leipzig, instead highlighting the plan he should follow, the structure he should adopt, no matter which club he went to. "We didn't even talk about him wanting me to come (here). It was really about football and what vision I have of football. And that was how I was thinking, like, okay. So as a person, he's not even there to push me to go. He didn't even talk to me, like, even if you go to some other club, then you have to do this to adapt better. "That was like just a free-on talk, and he wanted to see how I am as a person. So I was thinking, like, okay, so if someone like this talks to you in this kind of way, and he wanted to build a project, and he wants, of course, you to be part of it, but he doesn't want to push you to be part of it. So he gives you the freedom to express yourself, and that's everything I need," he revealed. At the end, Bakayoko decided to join Leipzig as he didn't feel he could freely express himself at the club, without feeling the pressure of doing something that he didn't want to. "I don't want to feel like I'm pressured in some other way. I just want to feel like someone wants me to help this club. That's it. "And that's what he told me, the way he wanted me to help the club and to perform, and they're going to help me. So that was like a vice versa, and that made me believe that was the right step."

Serhou Guirassy Sends Borussia Dortmund Through Against Local Rivals Rot-Weiss Essen In German Cup
Serhou Guirassy fired Borussia Dortmund into the second round of the German Cup with a 1-0 win at nearby Rot-Weiss Essen on Monday. But Dortmund's celebrations were muted by a bad tackle from Essen substitute Kelsey Owusu on Yan Couto in stoppage time, when he caught the wing back's knee with the sole of his boot. Couto was carried off on a stretcher with his hands over his face. Dortmund was already without injured defenders Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can. The team opens its Bundesliga campaign at St. Pauli on Saturday. Guinea star Guirassy took one touch to elude a defender and strike the ball on the turn into the bottom corner in the 79th minute. The goal came after Essen, the 1955 German champion playing in the third division, carved out a couple of half-chances in what was a meager game for goal opportunities. Dortmund's Julian Brandt struck the side netting and fellow substitute Jobe Bellingham caused Essen's defense problems after their introduction in the 64th. It was Bellingham's first competitive appearance for Dortmund on German soil since his summer move from Sunderland. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač led Eintracht Frankfurt to the title in 2018 and repeated the feat with Bayern Munich the following year. Nadiem Amiri's brilliant free kick was enough for Mainz to overcome Dynamo Dresden 1-0 earlier. The former Germany midfielder lifted the ball over the defensive wall and in off the left post in the 22nd minute, the only goal from a game in which second-division club Dresden missed more chances. Mainz coach Bo Henriksen was sent off late for holding onto the ball as the tension increased in a nervy finale. Sebastian Grönning scored the winning spot kick for Hertha Berlin to progress against second-division rival Preußen Münster 5-3 on penalties after their game ended scoreless with extra time. The home team had by far the greater chances — 27 shots at goal compared to Hertha's 11 — but couldn't make any of them count. Also, Fortuna Düsseldorf won at third-division Schweinfurt 4-2. Defending champion Stuttgart and league champion Bayern had their cup games postponed because of their participation in the German Supercup on Saturday. Stuttgart begins its title defense at Eintracht Braunschweig on Aug. 26 with Bayern playing third-division side Wehen Wiesbaden the following day. There were few shocks in the first round with Werder Bremen the only Bundesliga team to be eliminated. Arminia Bielefeld, which knocked out a host of Bundesliga clubs including Bremen on its way to the final last season, provided one of the few upsets by knocking out Bremen again on Friday.

Leeds Beat Everton For Perfect Start To Premier League Return
Lukas Nmecha's controversial late penalty gave Leeds lift-off on their return to the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Everton at a jubilant Elland Road on Monday. The match appeared to be meandering towards a stalemate until James Tarkowski was harshly adjudged to have handled Anton Stach's driven shot. Nmecha had only been on the field for six minutes of his Leeds debut but confidently fired past Jordan Pickford in the 84th minute. "It's not a penalty," said Tarkowski. "I was pretty convinced it was going to get overturned (by VAR). "A bizarre moment and it cost us the point in the end." Everton handed a debut to Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish in the second half, but the Toffees were left to rue not posing anything of an attacking threat in the opening 45 minutes. Leeds are aiming to avoid the trend of the past two seasons when all three promoted clubs have been relegated. Daniel Farke has also struggled previously with the step up to the English top-flight during two attempts as Norwich manager. But after Sunderland beat West Ham 3-0 on Saturday, two of the three promoted sides have won on the opening weekend for only the third time in the Premier League era. Farke's men stormed to promotion by winning the Championship title with 100 points last season and Leeds started in confident fashion. The home side were dominant in the opening half with 12 shots on goal but only once made Pickford work when the England goalkeeper blocked from Joel Piroe. Grealish's introduction coincided with Everton's best spell of the game. Lucas Perri, one of Leeds' eight summer signings, made an impressive save at his near post to turn behind Carlos Alcaraz's powerful strike before Jake O'Brien headed the resulting corner over. Just as Leeds looked like they might have to hold on for a point, they were gifted the chance for a perfect start with all three. There was little Tarkowski could do as his left arm was down by his side as it blocked Stach's effort. Nmecha stayed calm amid the furore as the German international found the bottom corner. "For a newly-promoted side it (Elland Road) has to become a fortress," said Farke. "It's great to see the joy and the pride in their eyes. It's great to give the supporters, who are so emotional and care so much about their club, something to cheer." Tarkowski had Everton's only chance to make amends with an equaliser but he headed over.
