Too young for senior football? Not at all! While in some other countries it might be so, in Germany, footballers are viewed somewhat differently, not divided into old and young. Just into good and bad. Jaka Čuber Potočnik suggests the idea that he could be really good. Very, very good. He’s proving this even in his first weeks and months in senior football. After the suspension ended, Köln added him to their reserve team, which competes in the fourth German league, and Jaka Čuber Potočnik has already scored 4 goals in just 10 matches there.
Barely 18 years old, the forward from Slovenia also shone on Saturday when Köln II visited Gütersloh and confidently defeated them 3-0. The first goal in the match was scored by the visitors after just 22 seconds, and the scorer was… Jaka Čuber Potočnik! The former member of Olimpija demonstrated excellent skill after a high pass behind the opponent’s defensive line. The teenager was initially faster than his marker, then easily won the one-on-one battle with the goalkeeper.
Jaka Čuber Potočnik then also registered an assist, providing the assist for Köln II’s third goal. He was also fouled for a red card in the 84th minute, with Allan Firmino Dantas from the home side sent off early.
