Even after a perfect week in which he scored for both country and club, Leipzig's talented 19-year-old midfielder Assange Ouedraogo remained conservative when asked about the prospect of participating in the 2026 World Cup.

The Leipzig genius was selected for the German team for the first time this month and scored on his debut. He was interviewed after the team's 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen and reviewed his national team debut: "This is the first time I have been selected for the national team, which is my initial experience of this environment. Of course, I also know that I was still in the U21 echelon before. I will not think too much about the future. Just focus on playing your game and we'll see what happens at the end of the season. "

The midfielder scored the opening goal in the 64th minute against Werder Bremen - just a week after making his debut for the German national team.

Also in Leipzig, he made his debut and scored in the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia (6-0). Vedraogo said frankly: "Everything went well, I have no complaints. Two games, two wins: this is undoubtedly a perfect week."

Regarding the wonderful long-range shot from about 18 meters away, the young player himself was amazed: "I have been really lucky recently. This kind of long-range shot that may not usually go in, I can kick it so accurately. I don't know if such a goal can be repeated."
