Former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn is impressed with Marco Reus’ performance against the Bavarians and tips him to be the next big thing in German football.
Borussia Monchengladbach’s Marco Reus displayed a match winning performance against Bayern Munich last Friday in the Bundesliga. The Foals downed the former German champions with a 3-1 score line as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrick-Herrmann-c29275 scored a brace and Marco Reus scored once to leave the gap between the two sides to only one point.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Kahn did not hesitate to praise the youngster for an impressive display against his former club in the previous league meeting. He stated that the striker has proved time and again in the past few months that he has the quality to perform against the best teams.
“His performance against Bayern showed playfulness, a lightness of foot that hints at a very strong character, one suited to the big time. Of course he got an early goal and soon afterwards the Gladbach fans were won back – it helps that his goal was so skilful,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former shot stopper added that Reus’ move to Dortmund would have enraged a lot of fans but his match winning performance against Bayern would have surely won some fans back. He insisted that there will be some pressure on the player to justify the 17 million Euro transfer fee next season but remained confident that Borussia Dortmund will eventually benefit from the transfer.
“A 17 million euro price tag can put a lot of pressure on a young player. And you can add the reaction of the Gladbach fans to that burden,” he concluded
It will be interesting to see how the German international fits in Jurgen Klopp’s side in the presence of Mario Gotze, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364.
