BVB captain Marco Reus is sad about the departure of Jadon Sancho. He has clear expectations of his successor. Should it be Donyell Malen as expected, Reus could live with it very well.
“In the end, the successor will hopefully have the same qualities as Jadon, which will probably be difficult. I have not yet seen him (painting, editor’s note). But if he is supposed to be, then we look forward to him” , said Reus in a media round about the Dutchman, who has already arrived at the Dortmund training camp in Bad Ragaz for a medical check.
Malen recently “managed an incredible number of goal participations, of course we like to see that. But we have to get to know him when the time comes. Goals and assists help best, but also a good character.”
Nevertheless, Reus looked “very, very sad” at the departure of Sancho in the direction of Manchester United and added: “With Jadon, a player who has given us an incredible amount has left us – not only with his goal participation, but also with his manner . ” With the change, however, he was able to fulfill “his childhood dream”, which is why Reus fully understands.
Reus: “Squad to become German champion”
Furthermore, the 32-year-old spoke about the clothing style of team-mate Erling Haaland, which he described as “daring”. “You have to address that, I think. But somehow it also suits him. He’s just a good guy. If he continues to perform like this, he can wear whatever he wants – or nothing at all.”
In sporting terms, he said: “We have the squad to become German champions, win the trophy and advance in the Champions League.” But: “In the end there is no getting around Bavaria.” For maximum success, “a lot has to come together, but the potential is there. We have to show it over the course of a season. You also need luck in certain games, you work for that with passion, with heart – what the fans want to see.” “
Reus is convinced of the qualities of the new coach Marco Rose: “It’s great fun with him and his team. We hope that we will soon be able to show the things he teaches us on the pitch.” Important players are still missing from training, and it is also clear that “everything cannot work out overnight”. “But we are on the right track because the training units are very good. This is how preparation should be.”
