Rocco Reitz has received a task with the Office of Vice Capitan at Borussia Mönchengladbach that goes hand in hand with a lot of responsibility. The 23-year-old is similar in the private sector: Reitz and his wife Laura expect their first child. This is now revealing pictures from the short vacation in Tuscany.
It was not until 2023 the breakthrough in the Bundesliga, then in the German U21, 2024 the invitation to the A-national team in the EM preparation, 2025 Vice European champion with the U21 and the transportation in Gladbach-Reitz has experienced a lot in a not so long time. But the original Borussia, since the U9 in the club, has always been distinguished that it has grown in the tasks.
Now it is important to get the team that Reitz will lead to the field against Werder Bremen (5.30 p.m., DAZN) with the captain’s armband. The best defensive on the first two Bundesliga game days (only one goal) urgently needs the first victory and the first goal (only the Hamburg SV is still waiting).
Gladbach: Franck Honorat stopped with the training
On Wednesday, the Borussians were back on the training ground after the unit had literally fallen into the water the day before. There were two returnees: Tiago Pereira Cardoso was the first international. Joe Scally, who was replaced last Friday, had been in the test game against Schalke (2-0), trained normally again. The full -back only went into the cabin a little earlier than his teammates. For this, Franck exposed Honorat with training.
The team of four was again together: Cardoso experienced two defeats of the Luxembourg national team from the bank, Tobias Sippel stayed on a trainer course. An exercise completed Cardoso, Sippel, Moritz Nicolas and Jonas Omlin with left: goalkeeper coach André Wachter trained their left foot.
The field players took a good half an hour for them to get to the main square from the athletic area. Nicolas Dyon had initially prepared a lot for her. The expectant father Reitz was just as much as the freshly fiance Robin Hack.
The talents will gradually give way to the national players
Overall, 20 field players mixed, the preferred group size of coach Gerardo Seoane because a ten-on-zeen is possible and no one has to stand on the edge. Initially, however, things went into a confined space in one-on-one and two-against-two, later the teams were enlarged.
There were still seven talents from the U23 and U19: Tyler Meiser, Veit Stange, Nico Vidic, Can Armando Güner, Josiah Uwakhonye, Yannick Michaelis and Jan Urbich. From Thursday you will gradually give way to the seven missing national players: Nico Elvedi, Kevin Diks, Lukas Ullrich, Fabio Chiarodia, Jens Castrop, Grant-Leon Ranos and Shuto Machino.
Towards the end of the unit on Wednesday, Wael Mohya and Niklas SWider came out to work individually on their comeback. The two youngsters could gradually be integrated into team training from next week.
