Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is ready to give youth a chance, as he considers Belgian sensation Noah Mbamba for his first Bundesliga debut against Hoffenheim on Saturday.
"We have been following his progress closely," said Xabi. "His quality on the field has not gone unnoticed, and we are happy to give him an opportunity to show what he can do."
Mbamba, who joined the German club in January, has been working hard in training and has impressed the coaching staff with his skills and dedication.
Despite his lack of experience, Xabi sees potential in the 18-year-old, who could provide a solution in the defensive midfield position.
"He's been training with us for almost a month now, and we see a lot of potential in him," said Xabi. "Although we have other players at his position, we believe he can further develop his game and contribute to the club's success."
With Xabi's encouragement and a chance to prove himself on the big stage, Mbamba must be eager to make his mark in the Bundesliga.
It's a new era for Leverkusen, as Xabi Alonso continues to make bold moves and shape the club's future with talented young players like Mbamba.
The Spanish coach is confident that the young Belgian has what it takes to succeed and make a lasting impact on the Bundesliga.
