Moussa Diaby gave a very hornets interview before the match. The player said that he believes in the current squad of the club. He noted that Leverkusen has a chance to become more ambitious and go for the Bundesliga’s trophy!
First call from France’s national team
After close to 100 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen and at the age of 22, Moussa Diaby recently received his first call-up to the France senior squad. Diaby believes the opportunity to play with the World Champions has come from his hard work in the German top-flight. Everyone was very happy for me. It was my first call up so I was obviously very happy. It was the coach who first informed me, then I saw it on TV and my teammates congratulated me at training. The president, the Sporting Director – everyone was happy, the whole club. I was happy too. It’s my hard work paying off.
Being happy because of the call from France
Moussa said that he didn’t have a party. But I was happy. It shows that I’m doing well in training and in matches at Leverkusen, who are a good club. Like I said, I was very happy – I felt very emotional. It was the reward for all the work I have put in so I was happy. As were my family and friends. He also talked about the new coach of the team. He’s a coach who likes to be close to the players. He appreciates hard work at training. He gives a lot of advice and is always smiling. He’s someone you can approach about issues on and off the pitch. He’s a very good coach and I’m sure he will give us a lot. He already has given us a lot – we had a good start to the season and that’s thanks to the coach and his staff.
