Davie Selke was speechless for a moment. "This is unbelievable," said the 19-year-old after a brief silence amid the seemingly endless number of questions that appeared on the screen in the first Green-Whites Twitter chat with the youngster. But just like on the pitch, Selke reacted lightning quick in front of the laptop with "burning fingers" to answer as many questions as possible.

The talent striking talent said he was impressed by the Werder fans. He described the Green-Whites supporters as "unique, important and faithful", and the Schorndorf native praised the action #JunobleibtBremer (JunostaysinBremen), which has made its way from the social networks to the training grounds. "Very good. It speaks for the fans and hopefully it will make an impact with Juno," tweeted Selek. What hints would he give young, talented players on the way up? Real easy: "Never lose sight of the goal, always look to improve and always believe," said Selke, who admitted that he's wanted to be a footballer since before he could think. "I always worked towards that," said the Werder striker, who is with SVW for a winter training camp for the first time.

Selke also talked about scoring his first goal in the Bundesliga. "Indescribable. You cannot describe in words when a dream comes true." The youngster also addressed the goosebumps he gets when he enters Weser Stadium, saying "Every single time!" From his hotel room, he provided the Twitter users with the special insight that he would like to take holidays in Ethiopia - the home country of his father - and that he is especially looking forward to the match at Hoffenheim. In the contest on the 19th match day, he will take on his former club and his whole family and many friends will be on hand in the stadium.
