Borussia Dortmund star forward, Karim Adeyemi, has revealed that the secret to how he became so fast is African dishes, especially fufu.
The German striker of Nigerian descent scored the only goal for Dortmund against Chelsea in the Round of 16 clash at the Signal Iduna park.
In the post-game interview with CBSSportGolazo, Adeyemi claimed that he eats a specific Nigerian food that elevates his speed.
“I eat a lot of African foods,” he explained
“I have good genetics from my dad so I think it will be difficult.
Pressed as to the exact food he eats, Adeyemi responded, “It is called fufu, and it’s a Nigerian food which is very good.” he revealed.
Asked specifically if he was the fastest player in Germany, he laughed and said: “I don’t know.”
“But it’s one thing I can do good but the other players can also do other stuff better.”
The 21-year-old scored a wonder solo goal when he picked the ball from his own half and ran almost the entire field, speeding past Enzo Fernandez for pace along the way before beating the goalkeeper with ease and slotting into an empty net.
