Kanyinda returns: Salzburg's football hero dreams of a new center!
Innsbruck, Österreich - David Kanyinda, a promising wide receiver who started his football career at the Salzburg Ducks, realized his dream last summer and switched to the Raiders Tyrol in the European League of Football. The step into the best league in Europe felt like a great honor for the 29-year-old. "It was a great experience, I am grateful for any moment," Konyinda looked back and noticed that the requirements are much higher in terms of playing speed and the quality than in the home league. Despite the stressful training plan, which lets him commute from Salzburg to Innsbruck four times a week, he is optimistic. "This shows that hard work really pays off," summed up the player who uses every kilometer in his train to continue working.
What an exciting week for the Salzburg footballers: Kanyinda and his colleague Philipp Löffelberger were awarded to the Raiders Tirol shortly after the last game of Austrian Football League (AFL). Kanyinda is now playing at an international level and has the opportunity to compete against renowned teams such as the Paris Musketers and Berlin Thunder. "The game here is at a different level, and I was able to learn a lot through this experience," he said after he had celebrated his debut. According to Salzburg24.at , Kanyinda is preparing to return to the Salzburg Ducks after the eleven season, where he is rooted has. He dreams of making the newly built football center of the Ducks quake with his teammates.
