The captain’s armband apparently gives national player Emre Can superpowers at Borussia Dortmund.
“The first question after the Ajax game came from Marco Reus, how I felt,” reported the new captain before the start of the league against 1. FC Köln on Saturday (6:30 p.m.). “I said: Hey, Marco, I had such a big chest when I walked in, I could hug everyone and burst with energy.”
However, the defensive midfielder already felt a new responsibility in the test against Ajax Amsterdam (3: 1) in addition to the “great honor”.
“I know that I’m now responsible for ensuring that there is order in the dressing room, that I have to be there on the pitch when things aren’t going so well.” Nevertheless, he tries to “always stay true to himself”.
Reus had resigned as captain after the end of last season.
