Felix Nmecha played for approximately 20 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea. The new signing subsequently spoke about his fitness, his role on the pitch and what he sang for his initiation.

Felix Nmecha on the USA Tour:
“It was really good for the team. We played good games. Today it was a bit bitter that Chelsea scored the goal towards the end. It was good for me and the others to get some minutes.”

…his fitness:
“I’m doing well now. I only had minor problems with the rear of my thigh recently.”

…his reasons for joining BVB:
“You could see last season how close it was. As a player it is of course my goal to win titles.”

…his role:
“Edin Terzic and Sebastian Kehl want me to play in a confident manner and show my capabilities. I try to always have the ball, create a lot and fight for the team.”

…his initiation:
“We had to sing yesterday, I sang Nat King Cole. Old school. It think it was pretty good.” (cr)
