Weigl and Itakura with top performances: The interim report for the Gladbach newcomers

Weigl and Itakura with top performances: The interim report for the Gladbach newcomers

Julian Weigl and the injured Ko Itakura were able to reinforce Borussia Mönchengladbach right away. Nathan Ngoumou still needs time.

is one of the positive surprises of the last few weeks. The foals have recovered after the sporting crash of the last year and a half and are in a strong sixth place in the table despite a demanding start program. This is partly thanks to one or the other newcomer. We issue the new foals with a first interim report.

1. Ko Itakura (Manchester City)

The Japanese got off to a great start and was one of Gladbach’s best in the first few games. The defensive all-rounder took Ginter’s place in the defense chain and showed enormously clarified performances. With his strengths in passing, Itakura was able to increase the quality of Gladbach’s play structure and give the team stability with and without the ball. It’s just a shame that the newcomer injured his knee and will probably miss the entire first half of the season up to the end of the season.

Rating: 8/10

2. Julian Weigl (Benfica Lisbon)

It is definitely a stroke of luck for Gladbach that with Weigl a player has come who can compensate for the absence of Itakura quite well. After all, the Benfica newcomer is one of the best passers in the Bundesliga and knows how to give the game calm and structure. The former Dortmund player has already shown that he can not only play precise passes, but has also gained defensive strength. Weigl has a duel rate of 70 percent, which is an indication of this despite the few games left.

Rating: 9/10

3. Nathan Ngoumou (Toulouse FC)

The French U21 international has been struggling so far. Ngoumou has been used as a joker three times so far, but has not yet been able to set any accents. The right winger still lacks assertiveness and toughness in duels. In addition, he affords too many ball losses. Accordingly, he could not revive the offensive game of the foals. However, it should also be noted that the newcomer from Toulouse has only been with the foals since the end of August. You have to give it some more time. Given the personnel situation, Gladbach could certainly use a strong Ngoumou.

Rating: 4/10

4. Oscar Fraulo (FC Midtjylland)

The only 18-year-old Dane caught the eye of the Gladbachers in a preparatory tournament, in which he scored a goal against the foals. However, the central and optionally also attacking midfielder should be built up slowly and is a man for the future. Until now he has only kicked for Gladbach II in the Regionalliga West. However, he has not yet managed to contribute to a goal in five games.

5. Yvandro Borges Sanches (Own youth)

Unlike Fraulo of the same age, the twelve-time international from Luxembourg has already made his professional debut. The left winger, who was in the U19s last year, is a regular part of the squad and was allowed to play against him for eight minutes in the Bundesliga. He collected another eight minutes in the DFB Cup. “We still have a lot of work to do before he’s a ready player. He has a lot of road ahead of him. But the boy has set out – and now let’s see how quickly he can reach his goal,” said Daniel Farke recently. Let’s see if the youngster comes to Joker bets regularly.
