Report nowAfter the match between Freiburg and FC Basel, Johan Manzambi gives an interview. Suddenly, Basel's Xherdan Shaqiri stands next to him and is called in. The youngster is delighted with what the FCB legend has to say.
On Wednesday, Johan Manzambi wins the international derby with Freiburg against FC Basel 2:1. "It's nice to win in my first Europa League game," said the high-flyer. "We're very happy with the performance. We are a very good team with a lot of quality. I think we showed that today."
Manzambi had already told blue Sport ahead of the game that he was looking forward to playing against Shaqiri, whom he had admired as a child. Asked about this after the game, he said: "It's nice that I was able to play against a legend of Swiss football. But on the pitch, you forget that and just play."
But then comes an unforgettable moment. During another interview, Shaqiri is suddenly standing next to Manzambi and is spontaneously called in by the reporter. "He was a bit lucky at the end," says Shaqiri with a grin, because it was a "50:50 game". And then he lavishes praise on the 19-year-old: "It was great to see him play. He's a great talent and I think he has a great future ahead of him."
