Having played at different youth levels for Germany, Jeseja looks to make it big in the sport of football.

“I know I dream big about what I want. You have to work for it really hard but I want to win the Ballon D‘Or and the World Cup with the National Team these are my biggest dreams,” Charles-Jesaja Herrmann said in an interview with Ghanasportsonline.com.

“I have the same specialty as my father. Football is in the genes so it’s something I love doing. I started playing football with my aunt at the age of 3 and that’s how it all started.”

“I don’t know it now but let’s see what will happen in the future,” the VfL Wolfsburg players said.

“I want to win the Ballon d'Or and the World Cup with the national team.”
