Despite some twists and turns as the transfer window is about to close, Nicholas Jackson finally got his wish and joined Bayern. In an interview with Turin Sports, Jackson talked about related topics.
About the transfer window deadline
I experienced very strong emotional fluctuations, but not because of reasons that people can imagine. I'm so happy to be joining one of the largest clubs in the world to experience a new league and play with more great players. At the same time, I feel a little sad about leaving Chelsea and leaving my teammates and fans. There, we won the European Union and the Club World Cup. Now, I'm 100% focused on my new project and can't wait to feel the crazy atmosphere of Allianz Stadium.
Regarding the process of joining Bayern
Frankly, my consultant and I have always been very confident. I never doubted that I would join Bayern, so I looked at the process in a philosophical way. I am healthy, my family is healthy, and I have the honor of being a professional football player. Everything else is not important.
Regarding how to repay Bayern
I want to thank Bayern for his trust in me from the beginning. I promise to give my all every minute, every game, every training session, and I know what responsibility it means to wear this jersey. I'm here to work hard, help the team win and improve every day, which is my mission.
The cooperation with Maresca is no longer smooth
Football is full of different cycles, and sometimes things don't develop as expected, which is part of football. I respect Maresca and learned a lot from him, but he has his own ideas and style. I just need something different at this stage, I have no regrets, only thanks for my time at Chelsea.
About playing football from 45-year-old Maresca to 39-year-old Kompani, I don't like comparative coaches, they all have their own styles and work in different clubs and environments. They are both top former players and now top coaches. I learned a lot from coach Maresca and I believe Kompani will teach me a lot too.
Regarding playing side by side with Kane
The most important thing is the entire team, not Kane and I, it is a huge honor to be able to work with one of the best forwards in the world. I hope to learn a lot from him, complement him on the field, and build a tacit connection. We will work together to ensure that the team's record meets expectations.
About my idol
My childhood idol was Ronaldo.
Suggestions on compatriot Mane
Of course I have sought advice from Mane, not only a legend of Senegal, but also a person I admire very much. He opened many doors for us. During the discussion of the transfer, we sent several messages to each other. He fully supports me and told me that Bayern is a big family with a culture of winning. His advice is simple but effective: ‘Work hard, stay humble, be yourself’.
