The Borussia Monchengladbach striker has showered praise on his new manager Lucien Favre and insists that the boss is a thorough professional.
The 21-year-old completed his move to Borussia Park from FC Twente earlier this month for a reported fee of €15 million and put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal. The player had a sensational season in the Eredivisie last term as
he scored a staggering 25 league goals in the 32 games he took part in.
Luuk de Jong claimed that he had heard a lot about Lucien Favre before he opted for Borussia Monchengladbach as the tactician guided the club to an impressive fourth place last season, after the club fought to stay in the first
division in the previous season.
The striker admits that the manager knows his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 well and tries to help every player. He stated that Favre guides the team with a lot of strategies during training which is certainly of immense help.
“I've heard a lot of good things about him. He did a fantastic job last season and I really like the way he sets his teams up to play. He shows us a lot of things on the tactics board, but also shows us certain movements out on
the training pitch too,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the attacker admitted that there is tough competition for places at Gladbach, which he feels is really good for the team. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-de-Camargo-c16693, Peniel Mlapa
and Mike Hanke are great players who certainly have the quality to play in the first team.
“There's competition at every club. That's normal. Igor de Camargo is a good player, as are Peniel Mlapa and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mike-Hanke-c25699. And we also have some really young players with great quality. You need a strong squad in case anybody gets
injured,” he concluded.
