Loaned to Bayer Leverkusen by Paris Saint-Germain, Nordi Mukiele did not often play with the reigning German champions (8 matches, 1 goal). But his coach, Xabi Alonso, dreams of a journey similar to that of Josip Stanišić, the defender loaned by Bayern Munich last season who had an excellent second half of the season.
“That could be it, yes. We’ll see. I hope he will be as good as Josip, who played a fantastic second half of the season. So far, Nordi is on the right track when it comes to his development on the pitch and in the locker room. He didn’t attend training camp with us and didn’t play in the preseason. His impact is important, his physique, he stays focused, it’s particularly important for him. He plays at a high level and that’s the Nordi we want”confided the Spaniard at a press conference.
