Marin Pongracic, currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund, has dealt against his home club VfL Wolfsburg. In the Twitch format “wing tongs” by comedian SSYNIC, the central defender did not mince his words.
“I was written off in Wolfsburg, they didn’t feel like me anymore,” said Pongracic in the almost two-hour conversation with Samuel Sibilski. The 24-year-old admitted that he shouldn’t “hit it” like that, “because I’m still a player of them,” but did so anyway.
“I’m on loan for a year, with the option to buy. It’s not too high. If I do that to some extent, I hope they’ll do that,” said Pongracic with the hope of staying in Dortmund beyond the summer.
Accordingly, BVB would have to put nine million euros on the table for the Croatian. The amount that the wolves had transferred to RB Salzburg for Pongracic in January 2020. “They wouldn’t make a plus at all,” he said with a certain glee: “It sucks a bit for them too. If I go through the roof here, everyone in Wolfsburg will say: ‘What did you do here, who did let her go here? ‘ I’m extremely pleased. “
Last summer, Pongracic slipped even further down the VfL central defender hierarchy after signing Sebastiaan Bornauw (1. FC Köln). In a year and a half with the wolves, he came to only 23 missions.
Pongracic rages: They have started “faxing”
In the last few weeks before he moved to the Ruhr area, Wolfsburg “started to fax,” said Pongracic, and added: “I noticed that they also want me to make room for others. Disgusting . “
Suddenly he would not have been able to take part in the training games. “I want to freak out,” he said with the thought of it. He wanted to “grab” the former VfL coach Mark van Bommel.
Face to face, however, Pongracic apparently had to hold back against the Dutchman, who has since been replaced by Florian Kohfeldt. “You have to sit down and talk to him like a politician,” he said.
Pongracic also reveals that he almost ended up at RSC Anderlecht due to a lack of options. But he was not prepared to make financial losses. “There were few options. Of course I don’t go on loan somewhere and play less for so much money. I can’t do without huge sums, that doesn’t work, that doesn’t make sense. I had shitty options, really stupid offers that didn’t Make sense, “explained Pongracic.
Pongracic didn’t want to forego money
In Wolfsburg, however, he was too “frustrated” to stay: “I thought so, Digga, I can’t do that. It’s not my level. I can’t feel back in the second division, although I’m already in the 1. Bundesliga have proven. “
Shortly before the end of the transfer window, BVB reported. Pongracic had already played in Salzburg under coach Marco Rose. “It’s shocking when you think about it: I’m not an option in Wolfsburg, but Dortmund is getting me,” he stated: “The (VfL Wolfsburg; Ann. The editorial team) wanted to get rid of me, but didn’t want to tell me directly. If you tell me directly, you will have to take part of my salary on this loan. Dortmund took over the salary. “
Pongracic has made eleven appearances across all competitions this season, five of which he was in the starting line-up. It remains to be seen whether Dortmund will take the option to buy.
