Each time he looks at the screen. Without fail. He always reconfigures his mobile phone during pre-season training: the 22-year-old Englishman sits down in the summer, writes a note with a list of his personal goals for the season and saves a screenshot of it on his lock screen. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s just that I wake up every day and see it, and then I think: Okay, cool, that\u2019s what I have to achieve. That motivates me more than if I just had the list in my notes. Every time I open my phone, I see my goals. And every time I achieve one of those goals, I tick it off,\u201d Carney says in an interview.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZZZvebvB7g\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch the video<\/a><\/p>\nWe don\u2019t know if \u201cscoring a goal in the Champions League\u201d is on his personal list. In any case, he achieved that milestone on 1 October 2025. In the match against Athletic Bilbao, Carney scored with his left foot in the 50th minute to make it 2-0. In front of the South Stand. \u201cIt was an incredible feeling. However, I only really realised it when I got home. After I scored the goal, I just thought, \u2018Okay, cool, I scored a goal.\u2019 But when I got home, I was totally overwhelmed. I scored my first goal in the Champions League! That was a real boost for me. The international break came at the wrong time after that,\u201d he says with a shrug. But the knowledge that he had achieved this milestone motivated the Englishman in the following games.<\/p>\nThe lanky yet assertive midfielder has settled in Dortmund. Not only because he went from being a loan player to a permanent member of Dortmund\u2019s first team before this season \u2013 with a <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/de/aktuelles/news/news.html/2025/8/26/Chukwuemeka-unterschreibt-langfristigen-Vertrag.html\">contract until summer 2030<\/a>. But also on a personal level. He feels at home at BVB, trusts his teammates, the coaching team and also the club photographer Alexandre Simoes.<\/p>\nWhen Carney is welcomed to his photo studio at the Dortmund training ground, two burly security guards are standing by. The photographer explains his daring plan: he wants to photograph the man with the number 17 for BORUSSIA upside down. Carney doesn\u2019t ask any questions. He immediately agrees. A minute later, he is hanging upside down in front of the camera. \u201cOh my God,\u201d he exclaims as the two security guards hold him by his legs and let him dangle in the air. \u201cDo you like it?\u201d Alexandre Simoes asks the professional footballer and shows him the result on the small screen of his camera as soon as he has solid ground under his feet again. \u201cOh, wow,\u201d beams the cover boy of this issue. His trust has paid off. The stunt was worth it.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/11/13/carney-borussia/carney.png\" data-assetref=\"carney-1762440022137\"><\/p>\nMoving abroad, to a new country and a new league, has also paid off for him. How does he look back on February 2025 today? On the moment when he decided to leave the club he had loved since childhood and join Dortmund on loan? \u201cI think for me it was simply a matter of getting away from everything and focusing entirely on myself. I had no doubts about going abroad. I\u2019m pretty independent anyway and just wanted to concentrate on football and block out everything else.\u201d<\/p>\nLondon remains his home. He makes that clear. But in Dortmund, he is learning to appreciate that the \u201cbuzz\u201d as the British say, is not nearly as loud as in England's metropolis of over 10-million people. His father and mother now take turns visiting him in the Ruhr area. At every home game, one of them sits in the stands at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and keeps their fingers crossed. Carney once described his relationship with his father years ago: \u201cMy father always tells me that I can achieve more, that I can be better. That the world is at my feet. He says I just have to keep going, stay focused, keep my feet on the ground and not let my previous success distract me.\u201d<\/p>\nWhen Carney hears this quote today, he nods in agreement. \u201cI believe you should never rest on your laurels. You should never be satisfied with what you have. For me, with my background, I have never been satisfied with where I was. It\u2019s always been like this: I want more, I want more, I want more. My family is the same. That\u2019s why this quote has shaped me to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/11/13/carney-borussia/Chukwuemeka-6.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Chukwuemeka-6-1762440117318\"><\/p>\nNevertheless, his still young career has also been marked by injuries, which have forced him to get back up again and again, to keep trying. When he scored his first goal for Chelsea in a league match against West Ham United in August 2023, Carney Chukwuemeka injured his knee in the same game and was sidelined for a long time afterwards. Pure joy and absolute despair \u2013 so close together. What helped him in such moments? His faith. \u201cI grew up in a Christian home, and when I entered my early teenage years, everything started to make more sense to me and I began to feel God more clearly. Yes, it\u2019s just something I started at a young age and it has grown more and more as I\u2019ve gotten older.\u201d<\/p>\nAdded to this is his parents, who remind him not to get carried away. \u201cWhen I joined Chelsea at 18, it all came at me pretty quickly. And to be honest, I got a little carried away. But I would say that in the past two years, I\u2019ve matured in that regard. I would say I\u2019ve also grown as a person.\u201d<\/p>\nAt the moment, Carney emphasises in the interview, he feels that BVB and he himself are growing at the same time. \u201cI\u2019m fit and feeling good physically. Personally, I feel that I\u2019m making good progress and can now show more and more of what I\u2019m capable of week after week,\u201d says Carney, praising the noticeable team spirit: \u201cAs a team, I think we\u2019re closer than ever since I\u2019ve been here. I can feel the team spirit. The results are good. It\u2019s definitely a good time to be playing for BVB.\u201d<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/11/13/carney-borussia/Chukwuemeka-5.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Chukwuemeka-5-1762440358433\"><\/p>\nHe is in constant dialogue with head coach Niko Kovac: \u201cWe get on well.\u201d The topic of conversation is always the defensive side of things, Carney reveals. Because, despite all the appreciation he receives from the coaching team, growth at BVB will come in mastering all elements of midfield play. At least, that is the message Carney himself has received in his conversations with Kovac: \u201cAs an attacking player, you naturally want to focus on building up play, scoring goals and things like that. But there\u2019s also the aspect of defending. And this: \u2018For me, as an attacker, you are the first defender because you apply pressure.\u2019 I just have to incorporate that more into my game, run more and also focus on that part of the game. Because the coach knows what I can do with the ball.\u201d<\/p>\nThe BVB fans know that too. At least since 5 April 2025. In Freiburg, the Englishman appeared in the starting line-up for the first time \u2013 <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/de/aktuelles/news/news.html/2025/4/6/Das-starke-Startelf-Debuet-des-Strassenfussballers-Carney-Chukwuemeka.html\">and scored immediately<\/a>. His path leads him straight to the jubilant away fans. A life journey to Dortmund, on a rather convoluted route: it began in 2003 with his birth in Eisenstadt, Austria, then led to England: Northampton, Birmingham, London. And now: Dortmund. Unusual. But for Carney Chukwuemeka, the Ruhr region in autumn 2025 feels like both a blossoming and a homecoming.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/11/13/carney-borussia/Chukwuemeka-3.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Chukwuemeka-3-1762440219525\"><\/p>\nHis smartphone beeps briefly during the interview. \u201cSorry,\u201d apologises the 22-year-old, \u201cI\u2019ll put it on silent right away.\u201d He preferred not to show us the list of his goals for the season. Too personal. But he does reveal one of his plans at the end: \u201cI am convinced that we can win a trophy this season. And I believe we have the team to do it. At least, that\u2019s my attitude: I\u2019m convinced we can compete at the highest level. We have to go into every game with the feeling and the knowledge that we are on the level. So, yes: I want to win a trophy this year.\u201d<\/p>\nIt goes without saying that his entire family and all his friends from London would come to Dortmund to watch. Could the Ruhr region become something of a \u201chome away from home\u201d for him? \u201cYes, definitely. I\u2019ve settled in well. I get on well with everyone. So, yes, the probability is quite high,\u201d he says, adding with a laugh: \u201cThe weather here is no different from England.\u201d<\/p>\nAuthor: Christoph Bökamp \n Photographer: Alexandre Simoes<\/i><\/p>\nThe text is taken from the members' magazine BORUSSIA.

Too personal. But he does reveal one of his plans at the end: \u201cI am convinced that we can win a trophy this season. And I believe we have the team to do it. At least, that\u2019s my attitude: I\u2019m convinced we can compete at the highest level. We have to go into every game with the feeling and the knowledge that we are on the level. So, yes: I want to win a trophy this year.\u201d<\/p>\nIt goes without saying that his entire family and all his friends from London would come to Dortmund to watch. Could the Ruhr region become something of a \u201chome away from home\u201d for him? \u201cYes, definitely. I\u2019ve settled in well. I get on well with everyone. So, yes, the probability is quite high,\u201d he says, adding with a laugh: \u201cThe weather here is no different from England.\u201d<\/p>\nAuthor: Christoph Bökamp \n Photographer: Alexandre Simoes<\/i><\/p>\nThe text is taken from the members' magazine BORUSSIA.
