Eren Dinkci on his development and Werder’s strike partnership

…his personal development: “I’ve had both highs and lows this season. I played a lot at the start and had some decent games but I also had a lot of bad ones. I am self-critical enough to know that. But I had a good game again recently. It’s quite up and down but I never went into my shell when I wasn’t playing. I’ve been involved in almost every game and I’ve had my playing time, which is something I wouldn’t have expected at the start of the season. It’s going well in training at the moment but it’s not always easy as a young player to be consistent all the time.”

…the game against Darmstadt: “I hadn’t been in the starting eleven for a long time. I wanted to start the game well and keep my mistakes to a minimum. You could tell after a bit of time that I’d settled into the game, especially in the second half. I know my strengths and it became apparent that I could utilise my pace against the defenders. It’s great that I was involved in the goal and in other good situations but I should’ve maybe scored two or three myself.”
