On the last Sunday evening is Jean-Pierre nsame power in the catacombs of the Tourbillon. Under the left Arm, he clamped one of the match balls – it is a reminder of his first hat-Trick for YB in the Super League.

the Three goals he scored at the 4:3-victory of the Young Boys in Sion before the break. The 1:0 and 2:0 in the first 140 seconds. And now he says: "it's a beautiful day for me. But the most important thing is that we won despite the three goals."

It is a statement, which is typical for nsame power. He is a scorer. And he is a team player. His former coach Adi Hütter says, nsame power is easy to care for, because he was working hard and the team think. So YB Coach Gerardo Seoane the, his hymn of praise, he sums up himself: "He is a model professional." And sport-in-chief Christoph Spycher says, nsame power was never satisfied. "He went a difficult way and has prevailed. That's impressive."

Spycher and young boys chief scout Stéphane Chapuisat, a sat in the summer 2017 for nsame power after his strong season with Servette (23 goals in 31?To commit to games). There were complicated negotiations, the attacker even appeared in the training strike. Today, he says: "I was younger and more impatient. In the last two and a half years in the case of YB, I learned a lot, I've become more Mature and calmer."

competitor Hoarau: A model and big brother

The powerful attacker, 1.88 m tall and 88 kg in weight, speaks softly, almost gently, but with a tremendously deep voice. He's not one for big words, to Play he is interviewed by the media is rare, unless he score three goals in a half. 15 goals after 15 rounds, he is on Super-League-record rate, the best value Seydou Doumbia, who scored ten years ago, 30 hits for YB holds. And this Doumbia, now in Sion, joins in the Tourbillon in the long list of well-wishers. "The Young Boys had last always strong striker," says nsame power. "It is an honor to play for this Club."

exactly two years Ago, he was after his first half of the year, in the case of YB with nine goals, already the Leader of the scorers list. Then, too, he benefited from the injury-failure-Guillaume Hoaraus, the strongest attackers in the League in the last five seasons. Together, the types similar striker are rarely on the grass.

at the beginning of 2017 and has said nsame power at a Gala of the Swiss Football League, Hoarau was his role model. He was awarded as the best player of the Challenge League, Hoarau as the best player in the Super League. And in December 2017 nsame power said, given its expansion of eligible efficiency in the financial statements: "I am constantly on the search for constant perfection."

The 26-Year-old is up quite far in this impossible Mission. He has even managed that in Bern in the last few months, hardly anyone has the injury-prone city of heroes, Filou and part-time musician Hoarau, now 35, missed. "He is still my role model," says nsame power, "he is my big brother. And he is quite clear attacker number 1 with us. It is beautiful, he is finally fit again."

There are the humble words of the most prominent and highest-scoring and perhaps the best player in the League. But nsame power also says: "I need to feel confidence in the environment and feel good. This is YB of the case. Also, thanks to Guillaume Hoarau, who has always supported me strongly when I was on the Bank, sat there and he played."

nsame power is a sensitive person, influenced by his life story, which begins in the birth town of Douala, before he draws as a six-year-old together with the father and the younger sister to France, and in the North of Paris, in one of the rough Banlieues grows up. The father returns soon in the homeland, nsame power has hardly any contact to him, he comes as a Boy in a Portuguese adoptive family and begins in the Teens, to play in a Club soccer .

Paris is Nsames home, not Cameroon, where he had been 18 years before he was offered in the fall of 2017 for the national team. "I don't know Africa well," he says. "For me, the return was a culture shock." After all, the trip allowed him in the country of his birth, the emotional reunion with the mother he had not seen for almost two decades.

His experience nsame power have made a thoughtful man. The arrest in November of 2015 belongs to, as he was suspected to have his five-month-old daughter shaken until she was unconscious and resuscitated, had to be. Later nsame power has been acquitted, the daughter is now four and lives with the mother in Angers. Nsame power visited on average twice a month.

In Bern feels nsame power well. And he, too, has long been a darling of the city, at least since his goal to 2:1 shortly before the end of the Game against Luzern at the end of April 2018, which has enabled the first championship of the Young Boys after 32 years. "Some Japanese chunnt dr Hanspeter," says one in Bern, and thus connects the two Züri-West lines of YB-like.

nsame power is not basically long been ripe for a Transfer abroad, to interested parties, there is a lack, even Juventus to deal with him. Of course, he dreams, with 26 of them to play in a top League. "But I have for YB is a Paradise. This is something you is not easy." Do not need to starve in Bern, in the summer he extended his contract until 2023.

Today, the Young Boys play in Basel. Their injury list has been extended on Thursday in the Europa League against Porto by Fabian Lustenberger. "Our handling of it proves our great mentality," says nsame power.
