Borussia Dortmund legend, Marco Reus has come out to hail his former team-mate, Jude Bellingham. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he knew immediately that the England midfielder was special when he joined BvB, and his strength and power was very evident during their first training session together.
Reus added that the people of Dortmund loved Bellingham because he kept working hard on and off the pitch.
His words, “I would say this guy was 17 or 18 when he came to Dortmund. I saw immediately he had the strength and power and quality to play for this club. He wanted to play always and give his life for the club. I saw immediately he had big talent and a big heart. Now you can see it in Madrid he has huge quality. The stats speak for themselves, especially last year.
He was not scared to train or play with us.
He’s special and the people of Dortmund loved him because he was working hard and people really appreciated those efforts. He showed it every game and every training. He’s a special guy for sure.”
