Alphonso Davies explains his Bayern squad number | OneFootball

Alphonso Davies still is blown away by the fact that he’s playing with some of his heroes.

Prior to joining Bayern in an MLS-record €19.25m deal from Vancouver Whitecaps, Davies had only seen his team-mates on TV or in video games.

“When you see the lads in real life or play alongside them then you do get a bit nervous,” Davies told Bayern’s official website while in Doha.

“It’s a great honour to play for this big club and to be on the pitch with the other players.”

“I want to do my best in every training session and if I get the chance then I hope I can take it.”

The 2018 Canadian Player of the Year decided on wearing the number 19 in his first year with the Bundesliga champions.

“It’s the year I’m eligible to play for this amazing club,” he said when explaining his choice.

Alphonso Davies does have one glaring worry on his mind – choosing his initiation song.

“Thiago told me about it. I’ll have to find the right song.”
