Youssoupha Mbodji, a 21-year-old Senegalese footballer in Jihlava, has an ambitious dream. He recently scored a first goal in the Champions League in a match against the Bodรถ / Glimt in Norway, contributing to a 2-2 parity score. His performances aroused general enthusiasm, as observers praised him. This recognition extended to the European level with its selection by UEFA for the first round of the Champions League.
In his first match in the team’s jersey, Mbodji quickly demonstrated his talent by scoring twice, including by exploiting the bottom of the game. This performance particularly impressed the experts, who compare it to his compatriot Malick Diouf, previously dismissed by Slavia Prague. Although it is still early for speculation, his performance with the Czech club quickly made him a renowned player, attracting the attention of all Europe.
Mbodji’s strength was confirmed during the first round of the Champions League, where he met with international stars such as Harry Kane, Virgil van Dijk, Marcus Rashford and Marcus Thuram. His exceptional performance, without any notable penalty, was widely praised. This participation at a high European level has greatly contributed to raising awareness of the talent of the young Senegalese footballer throughout the continent.
