The quest of finding these answers began as soon as the Super Cup started. In that match, Ajax faced PSV in the Johan Cruijff Arena on August 7th. I did not anticipate that I would have to rub my eyes so soon as the magic of Madueke only took two minutes to conjure, and PSV was leading by a goal. Within half an hour, Madueke made it two, again with sheer brilliance. The full-time score was 4-0 to PSV.

I became hooked on this prospect. Despite knowing the astronomical asking price by Eindhoven, I felt they had some leverage of owning such a talent. For the next game, I switched on to PSV’s first game of the season against Heracles. This time despite moments of equal brilliance, Madueke was dry in his efforts till halftime.

However, a new charged-up 19-year-old stormed the pitch in the second half who was hungry to display his name on the scoresheet. Rightfully so in the 63rd minute, a left-footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner was enough to deceive the keeper and attain the motives.

It became the pattern for my next game as he scored against Camburr. He has played nine competitive games in three competitions and has managed to score six goals in total with an assist. Considering he is only 19 and a winger, the numbers are just fantastic.
