"I am the best": Kobel's understudy at Borussia Dortmund makes a bold statement about his ambitions
Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is currently the undisputed first-choice for Borussia Dortmund, but his success is fueling competition among other contenders for the spot.
Details: The 23-year-old shot-stopper Diant Ramaj, whom the "Black and Yellows" loaned to Copenhagen the day after signing him from Ajax in February, has made it clear he has no intention of settling for a backup role at Borussia Dortmund—he wants to play, because he believes he is the best.
Quote: "I really enjoyed my season at Copenhagen; what we achieved was simply fantastic. And one thing is clear to me: I need to keep playing, getting minutes and match experience. So let me be clear: I will not be sitting on the bench in Dortmund!
It's clear to me that I'm not coming to Dortmund to play in the background, that I have no intention of being behind Kobel. I must play. I said I'm the best goalkeeper of the younger generation. And I think over the past few months, I've proven exactly that!" Ramaj declared.
Reminder: While at Copenhagen, Ramaj featured in 19 matches, keeping 10 clean sheets. In the remaining games, he conceded ten goals.
