Augsburg’s record-breaking transfer made his starting debut against Frankfurt and spoke afterwards about his impressions.
Pepi was denied a goal in the 1-1 draw against Frankfurt, but at least the striker got to play the full distance for the first time. His output was modest: two shots on goal, one assist and 36 ball contacts.
« It was a good game, but we could have done better, » the 19-year-old said on DAZN after the final whistle, referring to the draw. He himself « felt good », although Pepi also admitted that he still had « a lot to do ». After all, « the Bundesliga is much more intensive than the MLS. You have less space and less time. You have to adapt to that. »
For the Bavarian Swabians, that means three things, as Michael Gregoritsch explained: « We have to run up front, sprint deep – that’s our game. Those are our basics: sprints, running distance and tackling rate. «
