I try to work a lot for the team with and without the ball. I want to play confidently, always have the ball, be creative and fight for the team.”
Asked about the critical voices that had arisen in the course of his move because of his highly controversial Internet posts, Nmecha said: “I think some things have been taken out of context.

I hope that the fans will give me the chance to get to know me.” Club president Reinhold Lunow stressed that he had confidence in the new signing despite initial skepticism.
“Felix Nmecha’s signing has sparked controversy as he has shared content that could well be interpreted as homophobic or anti-queer. That’s why I initially had my doubts as to whether he shared the values of our Borussia,” Lunow tweeted after the transfer was announced on Monday.
In a direct conversation with the 22-year-old, which he had with BVB Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke before the commitment, “he credibly assured me that he shares the values of our basic code of values and will act accordingly,” Lunow continued.

TM community discusses Nmecha fee: “It’s brutal”
In the TM community, Nmecha’s transfer is also being discussed a lot from a sporting point of view. “Let US be as tolerant as we expect him to be. Everyone deserves a chance – if not at the hottest club in the world, then where!?” user “_Box2Box_” welcomes the ex-Wolfsburger. “Expectations are there. I hope he can confirm it. I wish it for him and BVB,” writes user “gernsbacher”. “Jeffster09” meanwhile expressed skepticism about the rumored fee of between 30 and 32 million euros:

User “wololo” takes a similar stance: “I’m curious to see how warmly the majority of fans will accept him. As usual, the transfer fee is too high, but we can’t seem to avoid that when it comes to transfers within the Bundesliga as long as there are no clauses.” recorded 15 million euros.
