After the young Englishman made a profound statement in Dortmund’s opening game of the season, BVB head-coach Nuri Sahin commented on Jamie Gittens’ bright prospects for the coming season at his post-match presser. The player himself commented on what it felt like to be asked to step in front of the FanKurve for the first time after the full-time whistle. The 20-year-old labelled the “yellow wall” the “best supporters in the world”.
