Kownacki wants to fight for promotion to the Bundesliga with Fortuna Düsseldorf

– This match was like a rollercoaster ride for me – said Kownacki after the match, quoted by the German “Bild”. – We played with heart and believed in winning until the very end. This victory is very important after such a long break.

The newspaper said that the Pole received a small reward for his performance from Fortuna coach Daniel Thioune, who approached the player after the match and gently massaged his neck. “Thioune knows he has to take care of his striker,” Bild wrote.

In turn, “Rheinische Post” described Kownacki as “the star of the evening”, distinguishing his double against Magdeburg. “The situation with the penalty kick showed that everything was fine with me. After the missed penalty, I had nothing on my mind. I had a clear mind. The most important thing was what happened later, these two goals – said Kownacki, quoted by “RP”.

The daily emphasized that Kownacki’s performance confirmed his commitment and dedication to Fortuna. Even before the start of the transfer window, he stated that he wanted to leave the club at the end of the season. -: I will give my best for this team, for the staff, for the coaches, for everyone. Promotion to the Bundesliga? I want it. That’s my goal,” added the 25-year-old.

The next meeting of Kownacki’s team will be played on February 3 against Paderborn, which is one place above Fortuna Düsseldorf. The Pole, however, will not be able to help his team in this meeting due to the fifth yellow card he received against Magdeburg.

This season, Dawid Kownacki played 20 matches for Fortuna, in which he scored nine goals and recorded seven assists.
