Among other things, the 23-year-old spoke on his decision to switch national allegiances to Senegal and what it was like to work under current VfL Wolfsburg trainer Niko Kovac.
Jakobs made his debut for the Aliou Cissé’s Lions in September. Whether or not he will be selected for the World Cup remains to be seen as he is fighting for playing time at Monaco. The former German youth international expressed his hope of on day playing in front of a full stadium in Dakar. He also divulged that squad keeper Sami Ndjeng (half Swiss) had been helping him acclimate as a native German speaker.
Under current coach, Philippe Clement, however, Jakobs is effectively third in the depth chart at his position. Jakobs insisted that he didn’t regret the move and planned to stay. Asked about whether he preferred the previous coaching regime of Germany’s Niko Kovac, the 22-year-old called the current Wolfsburg trainer “a good and honest man”.
“Some had their problems with his German abrasiveness,” Jakobs noted when discussing Kovac’s sacking during t the last winter break, “the strident and loud tone. In addition, Champions’ League qualification was in jeopardy and things sometimes move quickly when that happens.”
“He [Nübel] is doing an outstanding job,” Jakobs noted, “He very secure, never lets the balls bounce, always holds them. It would be nice if he stayed.
