Why is Marco Reus, Borussia Dortmund captain, compared to a goat in world of football? (A thread)
Let's first check his stats since arriving at BVB.
2012/13: 49 Games, 19 Goals, 16 Assists (0.71 per game)
2013/14: 44 Games, 23 Goals, 23 Assists (1.05 per game)
2014/15: 29 Games, 11 Goals, 6 Assists (0.59 per game)
2015/16: 43 Games, 23 Goals, 8 Assists (0.72 per game)
2016/17: 24 Games, 13 Goals, 8 Assists (0.88 per game)
2017/18: 15 Games, 7 Goals, 1 Assist (0.53 per game)
2018/19: 36 Games, 21 Goals, 13 Assists (0.94 per game)
2019/20: 26 Games, 12 Goals, 7 Assists (0.73 per game)
In fact, Bild suggest that since 2009, the Germany international has been injured for an incredible 772 days, which equates to just over two whole calendar years.
Unsurprisingly, being injured for that amount of time made him miss 66 matches for Dortmund and means that throughout his career, he picks up an injury roughly every 1224 minutes, or simply an average of 13 matches.
Anyway, with all those tough repeated downs in his career, he never stepped back and, with hard work and determination, even after missing Germany's world-cup victory, he still managed to have some incredible total stats with Dortmund.
In 285 games, he scored 134 goals and provided 83 assists.
.. And all that counting all his absence time..
Even after losing all his friends, letting the glory and the prospect outside his heart, being loyal to his club despite having the obligation to often face defeat.. still managed to comeback stronger than before aftzr each injury.
A true warrior, a king, a legend. Take the time to imagine his career without all the absences time, mates.
End of the thread.
