🔥 Leipzig starlet recalls idolising Neymar since childhood
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Neymar's fame didn't take long to reach Europe as he was taking his first steps in his professional career. Advertisement And forward Antônio Nusa, a promising player from RB Leipzig who has been called the 'Norwegian Neymar', didn't need much time on social media to become a big admirer of Santos' number 10. In an exclusive interview with OneFootball, the forward recalled that he has been watching videos of the Brazilian since before his transfer to Barcelona: "Yes, for a long time," he acknowledged, who turned 20 in April. That is, while Neymar was winning his first major titles with Peixe, the current RB Leipzig player was still just a child. Moreover, the habit of watching goals and dribbles from his idol accompanies Nusa to this day, and this Wednesday (28), they may share the same field when RB Leipzig and Santos face off in Bragança Paulista, in the interior of São Paulo. Advertisement "I still watch him on YouTube every day," he assured, before explaining the reason for such admiration: "I think he brings a lot of fun to football. I think that's what football is: being able to express yourself on the field. He plays in his own style and I like that. It makes me want to play in my own style too". The promise that used to like to imitate Neymar's celebrations and haircuts as a child hardly knew how to react when RB Leipzig confirmed the friendly match this Wednesday. "When I found out we would play against Santos I said: 'It can't be. No chance'. I'm really excited," he commented. 1st season in Germany The nickname 'Norwegian Neymar', however, he prefers to leave aside to build his own career without major comparisons, which has already shown signs that it can be very positive. Advertisement Nusa was signed by Leipzig at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, from Bugge, Belgium, where he had played for the previous three years. He was directly involved in a goal in the first three games played with the German club's shirt, even coming off the bench only in the second half in all of them. In the round of 16 of the German Cup, against Eintracht Frankfurt, the Norwegian added three assists in Leipzig's 3 x 0 victory. However, the last few months also had negative points, such as the injury that kept him off the fields for nine rounds of the Bundesliga this year. Despite the ups and downs, Nusa believes he is already adapted to German football. "It's different, of course, but the Bundesliga is great. I'm ready to start my second year and I hope it will be very good," he assured. 📸 Helge Prang - 2024 Getty Images

Antonio Nusa: ‘There were so many questions about whether I was able to play. I had a point to prove'
The last year, in Antonio Nusa's words, has been 'heavy on the mind'. In January 2024, Nusa — then playing for Club Brugge — was on the verge of agreeing a transfer to Brentford. A Champions League goalscorer at 17 and a Norwegian international at 18, he was a future star of the game for whom a move to London and the Premier League was an exciting next step. Advertisement But the move collapsed. At a late stage, Brentford unexpectedly decided not to pursue the deal, creating uncertainty in a career that — until that moment — had been on a steady curve towards football's summit. 'It was a strange, strange time,' Nusa, 19, tells The Athletic. 'First of all, my priority was my fitness and being able to sort that out. To find out what the problem was. In the end, there was no problem. I got everything checked out and then refocused. 'For a young player — I was 18 at that time — of course it was difficult to deal with stuff you haven't experienced before. And it took some time. I cannot say it was easy, but I got over it. I think it made me stronger.' Nusa lent on family and friends in those days. His priority, he says, was to regain his fitness, and then — for the first time in his young career — block out the negativity surrounding him, before trying to extract whatever good he could from the situation. 'In football you need to experience those things to see what they're like and to see if you can handle them,' he says. 'And I feel like I handled that well. Maybe I grew from it? And I'm very happy where I am now, so I cannot complain about that.' The now is RB Leipzig. When the interested parties in England backed away last year — and Brentford were not alone in declaring an interest — Leipzig quietly pounced, signing the youngster for €21million (£17.6m; $22.9m) in August 2024. Leipzig certainly prefer to do their business quietly, but the lack of fanfare surrounding him before his transfer was completed showed how the market for him had softened; a legacy of the aborted Brentford deal. Leipzig were convinced, though. Nusa has played over 1,400 minutes in the Bundesliga in his first season, has scored three goals, provided three assists, and played with a technical exuberance which has helped rebuild his reputation. He appeared in all of Leipzig's Champions League games, too, and was growing in authority until suffering an injury against St Pauli in February. Advertisement It was a knee injury, but thankfully a minor one. He and the club are relaxed about his return, due at the end of March. But Nusa was wounded by the Brentford saga. During his final months in Belgium, his confidence had clearly been affected. His performances were conservative and inhibited, and he did not leave the Pro League with much momentum. The value of his strong start in Leipzig, he says, has been less about correcting outside perceptions and more re-establishing his own confidence. 'I definitely felt like I had a point to prove,' he says. 'There were so many questions around my fitness and over whether I was able to play, or if I could do anything last year. I can't focus on that too much and I don't give too much energy to it, but it feels good playing the amount of games I have and taking this step as a player. It felt good, but it's not my focus. 'It's mostly for myself, so that I know that I can do it. Maybe (last year) put a little bit of doubt inside of me, so proving that to myself has been the best part. 'Now I know: OK, it's no stress, so keep moving forward.' Nusa has had his eyes trained on the future for some time. When he was 13, he joined Stabaek, in his hometown. He and his parents lived south of the city, a train and bus journey away, meaning he could only train part-time with the academy twice a week. Rather than stymying his development, that inconvenience encouraged individuality. He would still play local football, but when not in Oslo, he was studying YouTube compilations of players he wanted to emulate — Neymar above all others — before taking what he saw out to the local pitches, learning it by repetition, and adapting it to his own game. Today, he speaks fondly of those times and, actually, little seems to have changed. 'Those were the people I looked up to when I was a child,' he says. 'When I was at home or at school, I had my computer and I was not really paying attention to class. 'You want to try to be like them and to play like them. That brought me a lot of joy when I was younger. Even now just watching football — I love it. It's my passion. It's my happy place.' Nusa is a football obsessive. He meets The Athletic on a Friday, having spent much of the week watching Champions League games. Like the rest of the world, he was enthralled by Liverpool against Paris Saint-Germain, but he habitually multi-screens and watches more than one match at a time, keeping an eye on players he likes, but the progress of his friends around Europe, too, such as Benfica's Andreas Schjelderup. Advertisement There seems little room for much else. He's fond of UFC — in real life and with his friends on the PlayStation — but football dominates his horizons and life in Leipzig, where he lives with his girlfriend, suits him. Marco Rose's side are not enjoying their best season. They have reached the semi-final of the DFB-Pokal but are currently outside the Bundesliga's top four, fighting to re-qualify for the Champions League. But for Nusa, individually, it has proven the right place to develop, even if this path was partially dictated by that failed Brentford deal. 'It's been amazing for me and I've really grown as a player,' he says. 'I've played positions I've never played before. Growing up, I was always a left-sided attacker, but being versatile is a valuable skill in football nowadays, so I'm trying to improve my game on the right. 'It's a work in progress to be comfortable, but I feel like I've had the right help and support.' One of the conveniences is that Nusa is no longer the brightest star. At Leipzig, Benjamin Sesko (21) is destined for an extremely bright future, Xavi Simons (21) is already a fabulous player, and Lois Openda (25) finished last season with 24 Bundesliga goals and seven assists in 33 appearances. The 2024-25 campaign has been tough for everyone. Injuries and loss of confidence have shown in the team's form and Rose is under pressure to keep his job in the summer. Nevertheless, this remains a talented squad, full of players to whom Nusa can relate. 'A lot of guys are at the same time in their career,' he says, 'and I think maybe we help each other. You have people who are the same age as you doing the same thing, so we understand each other's situations. We're doing this together and it's fun to be able to be part of their journey as well.' Nusa's own journey has its differences. He remains one of the great future hopes of Norwegian football and will be part of their journey to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, a tournament in which they have not taken part since 1998. Advertisement So, his return to form has changed the nature of the conversation around him — back to football and how far he might go in the game — but with the consequence that the expectation will now return and the pressure will mount. He is not fazed by that. In fact, it's an attention and expectation with which he wants to live. 'It's good to have expectation. When you're playing at a higher level, you get more and so you must try to embrace it. I kind of enjoy it, I think. And if you're doing something right, people will talk about you anyway.'

RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa sustains knee injury
RB Leipzig confirm that Antonio Nusa (19) sustained a knee injury during their 2-0 Bundesliga win against St. Pauli at the weekend and will be sidelined until the end of March. Scans on Tuesday confirmed Nusa's injury, meaning the Norwegian attacker could miss Leipzig's next six games across all competitions, including a DFB Pokal quarter-final against Wolfsburg, and a Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund (March 15). Borussia Mönchengladbach will host the Saxony club on March 29. 'We're hoping that Antonio can recover quickly. This injury is obviously a blow to us – he's enjoyed a really strong debut season at RB Leipzig. We will do everything we can to compensate for the current absences as a team,' said Marcel Schäfer, Leipzig's Managing Director. Nusa arrived from Club Brugge in August 2024 for €21m and has since played 32 games across all competitions under Marco Rose, scoring five and creating seven. It's a blow to Leipzig, who confirmed last week that Xaver Schlager had also suffered an injury setback. GGFN | Daniel Pinder
