The Brazilian talent Reinier, who was loaned to Borussia Dortmund from Real Madrid for two years, reckoned with his time at BVB.
Reinier was one of the really big offensive talents when he came on loan from Real Madrid a good two years ago. However, the attacking midfielder hardly got a chance to play for the Black and Yellows and was therefore unable to take the next step in his career. Now the Brazilian has settled his time in Dortmund.
A measly 741 competitive game minutes jumped out for Reinier in two years. A bitter disappointment for the 20-year-old youngster, who once switched from Flamengo to Real Madrid for 30 million euros. So it came as no surprise that he did not return to Madrid in the summer, but instead joined FC Girona on loan. The offensive player would like to get back on track there and recommend himself to Real Madrid, where he has a contract until 2026.
Most recently, Reinier scored his first goal in the Girona jersey, which must have felt like a liberation after two dark years. Opposite to Globe Esports the player now confirmed how badly he had fared in Dortmund. In particular, the assessments of the press have taken a toll on him.
“It was just a massacre, I was beaten up. It was a very difficult phase for me,” said the youngster. In addition, he often “could not sleep” and his family suffered.
Reinier shoots against BVB: “I just wanted to leave”
The attacking player still doesn’t understand why he got so little playing time and admitted that he didn’t cope well with the situation. “I’ve always played for Flamengo. And then suddenly not playing anymore, even though you feel like you want to help your team, doesn’t feel good,” explained Reinier. Accordingly, he “just wanted to leave”.
The Brazilian still seems to be full of anger, which may also be due to the fact that he has repeatedly been given the wrong signals. “People, whose names I don’t want to mention, said to me, ‘You’re training really well, congratulations, keep it up!’ But I didn’t play what I couldn’t understand,” he shot at his ex-club and complained that he “couldn’t develop as a footballer”.
However, the Brazilian cannot see any fault in himself. “I did my duties. I trained, went home and was back the next day – always on time,” he assured. Accordingly, he also has a “clear conscience”.
