Help the team as best I can

Raphael Onyedika discussed his first home win for the Eagles, his prior experience at Dortmund, and his ability to maintain stamina. After a victory against Köln, the midfielder said the key was earning three points for the team and the fans. He also highlighted endurance, noting he has played 690 of a possible 690 competitive minutes this season, attributing it to being “in top shape,” ongoing physical training, and the routine of playing twice a week in recent years. Onyedika named Ronaldinho as an idol and said he also draws inspiration from Paul Pogba in his best seasons. He explained his role as the most defensive midfielder and that he adapts to teammates such as Mario Götze, Noel Aseko and Oscar Højlund. He returned early from Nigeria duty with the club’s approval and recalled a Champions League opener at Dortmund two years ago, when Club Brugge led before losing 3-0. On Saturday, he faces Dortmund again in front of about 80,000 people.
