Munich (AP) - promoted Alphonso Davies (19) from FC Bayern is working on his language skills: "When I came here it was not easy for me. But the team, the club and the people made it easy for me here to settle in Munich. "
"My German is getting better and better," said the Canadian, who was asked to taste Bavarian food. "I've learned: it's Phonzie."
The young professional, whose contract was recently extended to 2025, is the Munich shooting star of the season. World star Lionel Messi was once a role model for the current left-back, now he wants to be one for "young people" himself. "I want to give them the message that they have to be themselves. Everything is easier with a smile on their face," said Davies, who has been under contract with the German soccer champions since January 2019.
After Davies last reported on his interest in the acting profession, he was now asked about his preferences in this genre. The footballer prefers action and comedy films, as favorite actors he named Idris Elba and "The Rock". Elba and the former wrestler Dwayne Johnson were last seen together in the action film "Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw".
