"I think overall I will give myself probably a seven out of ten," Bolt said. “I think I was okay. I did well, it just takes practice now. To put in more work and get fit.
"I wanted to play my best. I wanted to move and give the guys options and I tried my best. I'm really trying to make it professionally, so I have to play at a high level."
Dortmund coach Peter Stöger even declared following the session on Friday morning that Bolt is “very talented”, bringing more speculation as to whether the Jamaican will indeed be invited for a third training session with the club, after he completed his first tasks on Thursday.
Later in the day, Bolt met up with friend, countryman and Bayer Leverkusen sensation Leon Bailey. Perhaps next time it will be on the pitch, in the Bundesliga...?
