They are not living a good start to the summer Dortmund. Borussia, who three weeks ago resigned to the loss of their star, Jude Bellingham, after the striker accepted the offer of Real Madrid, suffered a second setback in the last hours. We are not talking about any important departure from the team (at least for now) but about a decision made by its emblematic player: Marco Reus.
The striker, a legend at the Bundesliga club, announced, through an unusual video, his shocking resignation as team captain after five years and despite signing a one-year contract extension just three months ago. Reus was appointed team captain for the first time in the 2018-19 season.
Reus announced, in the aforementioned video, that he was giving up his leadership of the team and wished coach Edin Terzic and director Sebastian Kehl luck in identifying his successor. This is how he addressed the fans: “It is very important for me to tell you something personally: I had a lot of time to think during my vacation and I decided to pass on the captain’s armband. I reported on this yesterday. I have been allowed to wear this bracelet for five years with pride and honor.“, he began by saying.”Thank you for your support over the years and I wish Edin and Sebastian a very good successor. I am sure they will succeed“, it just is.
