Lukas Ambros rewrote history! At 18, he became the youngest footballer ever to make his Bundesliga debut

In the past, it was customary for a large number of Czech players to play in the Bundesliga. This is no longer a reality, but on Saturday we saw another one. Eighteen-year-old Lukáš Ambros made his first start.

Eighteen-year-old Lukáš Ambros came to Wolfsburg in the summer of 2020 from Slavia in Prague, and he even earned the captain’s armband in the club’s junior team.

He also played in the youth Champions League and got a chance to train with the A-team in the summer. Coach Niko Kovač then pulled him into the winter training, where he really showed off his skills.

He played four preparatory games, three of them in full. He even scored against Augsburg, which kept him in the squad.

Against Hertha Berlin he was already on the bench, but unfortunately he didn’t get on the pitch despite the favourable result and the subsequent 5:0 win. Nevertheless, it is expected that he could make his debut soon.

“My manager Martin Krob and I recently found out that I could be the youngest Czech to make his Bundesliga debut, which caught our attention. I have to admit that I made it a personal goal. It would be great if I could play in the German league at the age of 18..

Now I’ve had my second training camp with Wolfsburg. In the summer there were more of us youngsters, because the boys from the youth team got time off, but now in the winter there were only three of us and I was among them. I’m glad for that. Plus, since the camp I stayed with the first team.

We have a relatively young squad, but with a lot of quality, which I see every day in training and I think it was also evident in the last games. But I’m humble. I’m waiting for my chance. After all, I’m one of the youngest guys and my role in the team depends on that,” Ambros said recently in a blog post on the Livesport News website.

Now he has finally arrived! Ambros was on the bench against Leipzig and the coach gave him a chance in the 74th minute when he replaced Felix Nmecha on the pitch at 0:1. Unfortunately, he didn’t help his team to score any points, Wolfsburg scored two more goals and were defeated 0:3.

It will be an unforgettable experience for Ambrose as he became the youngest Czech footballer in the Bundesliga. And no one is likely to take that away from him anytime soon.
