It’s the first quarter of the 2020 season. Kwadwo Duah is practically always in the starting line-up and has already scored a goal and an assist after the first three games. A year later, the situation is different. More difficult. Patience seems to want to test the Bern striker. Starting XI appearances and goals are in short supply in the first rounds. “I had a somewhat stuttering start,” said Duah, analyzing the start of the season. With so many strikers, the fight for a starting place has also become more difficult. “Now, however, you can say that I’m back on track.” As a matter of fact. The ex-YB-Junior has been successful in every game since round eight and has been back in the starting line-up since the pioneering GC game, to put it nicely.
Groundbreaking, because the 2: 5 defeat shook the St. Gallen troops up. «After this game, clear words were spoken. The shortcomings have been clearly addressed. Against GC everyone saw that we weren’t on the pitch as a team, ”said Duah.

Obviously everyone has done their homework. The trip to Berlin bears fruit. The aspens find their way back to victory, not only against Union, but also in the league against Servette.

In the early days, which were difficult, also for Duah personally, the ex-Wil kicker found support with his family in Bern and with his girlfriend. «We talk a lot about football. Sometimes a little too much, ”says Duah with a smile. She is also fully involved with her heart. And if nobody is there, the 24-year-old delves into the world of his countless paperbacks. «I’m a huge fan of comics! Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse … »Duah’s eyes begin to light up. “It’s a special hobby, I know. But it calms me down. For example, I like to read them on the team bus. “
Incidentally, Donald Duck once had to fight for a regular place in the starting XI …
