Marco Reus - Blog Posts

Two club legends disrespected by their clubs :(

I haven't said anything because I was trying to assimilate it (I still haven't) but the departure of Reus has destroyed my soul.

And it destroys me even more that we are reaching the end of an era, I am not ready for players who have marked my entire childhood and adolescence to gradually retire.

Go little rockstar.

It’s conspiracy theory time.

We all saw this picture. We all wondered what it meant. We thought, “Why is sitting like that? Staring like that? Will he be getting a new contract?” And now, knowing what we know, I think he knew. He wouldn’t be coming back to Borussia Dortmund. It was his last match at the Yellow Wall.

Here’s my flimsy evidence: That photo was taken on May 18. Terzic and Mats had already been clashing for the entire year over tactics, and probably much more. BVB Central reported through Bild, that the relationship with Terzic was considered “cold” on March 6. Even though Bild is not entirely reliable, it was probably reliable on this.

Reports also came through of Terzic and Mats having a massive fight shortly before the UCL final, person consequences being threatened. This might have happened because of the brutally honest interview Mats gave three days before the final, which would have placed their fight around May 28 or 29, most likely completely destroying their relationship beyond repair.

Back to the day that photo was taken, May 18. By that point, according to reports, many of Dortmund’s players, including almost the entirety of the senior players, including Mats of course, would have been heavily against Terzic. If it is true that he essentially staged a coup, it would have been Terzic and the Board vs the players of Borussia Dortmund.

It was the last match of the year, we got fifth place, barely scraping champions league football, the first time we hadn’t gotten it since the disastrous 2014-2015 season. A vocal player like Mats would not have let that happen without complaint. Since Terzic was the manager, in charge of the tactics, he would have made sure he was unhappy with how the team performed all season along with the tactics given to them.

After the end of the match, we also got this photo:

Marco pushed Mats up to the front. Does that mean they knew he probably wouldn’t be getting an extension and wanted him to get a goodbye? Marco got an entire game dedicated to him, tifo and all, but Mats got nothing. He probably wouldn’t have minded too much, he knew it was Marco’s day, and he seem to be a pretty chill guy.

Marco might have done it anyway, but it would have made sense for Mats to get his standing ovation because there wouldn’t be another game for him to get one from.

That’s the end of my mindless rambling, Mats knew he wouldn’t have spent another year with the Dortmund because the contract extension was always off the table.

Marco Reus.

Where do I begin?

Loyal? Captain? Faithful? Teacher?

To many of us Dortmund fans, Marco Reus is the man who made us fans of the club. He spent 22 years with us, from youth ranks to the first team, and almost every moment in between. Not all of us have seen the whole journey, but that is okay.

We saw what we could, and each time, we were mesmerized. Mesmerized by his goal scoring ability, his vision, his off the ball movement, and all other fancy football terms. He is undoubtedly the best to ever wear the black and yellow, to don the schwarz-gelb, to play in the Westfalenstadion. He is the kind of player that as a child, we would stay up late to watch YouTube highlight compilations of, just to rewatch his magic.

His aesthetics aren’t typically what he is known for, though. What has always defined his career to non Dortmund supporters has been his loyalty to the club, his ever lasting trust in us. From when he renewed his contract when we were in the relegation zone, to when he stuck by us after each and every lost game, ruined DFB Pokal competitions, titles that slipped through our fingers by just a hair, and most recently, our second place finish in the UCL final, he always dusted himself off and told us that he would always stand with us through our struggles.

Never considering a move to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, or any other club while in his prime and their peak, he solidified himself as the best player to grace a “second rate team in the farmers league,” as so many doubters liked to put it. He had raised the Dortmund level so much, showed his abilities, his resilience, and faithfulness to the badge. Each time an elite club came asking for his services, the answer was always the same: “No, I want to stay at Dortmund,” or, “No amount of money will make me leave.” He has become synonymous with Borussia Dortmund. When people ask what’s so special about this club, the answer is will always be, “Marco Reus. He is Dortmund.”

Now he is leaving. He isn’t leaving in the way any of us wanted, no UCL, no title, but he leaves as our biggest ever legend. He wasn’t even the one to make the choice, which saddens us all, but like all good things, his time at Dortmund must come to an end.

He may not have as many trophies as Robert Lewandowski, or the pure skill of Messi, or the presence of Ronaldo, but he’s still just as memorable as them. When looking at lists of the best players of our generation his name will always be on the list.

Thank you for everything, Marco. I hope I’ll see you at the club again one day.

sometimes having a favorite player means you get to see them play one or two seasons at your favorite club (if you're lucky) and after that they transfer to a team you can't or don't want to follow them to. i have been one of the even luckier ones - i got to see one of my absolute favorite players play at my favorite club for over twelve years. the long lost son finally back home.

this bundesliga chapter ends today. and i know a lot of people will look at his career and only see the lacking titles. no bundesliga title, despite bvb being close twice in those years. no world cup title because of an unfortunate injury in the last friendly before the team's flight to brazil. his first champions league final also ended in a defeat (hopefully we'll be more successful the second time around).

when i look at that time, however, i see someone who always believed in his club and especially in its potential. who stood by it in sometimes better and sometimes worse times. who didn't leave, despite that being the easier option. i also see someone who brought players and fans to this club - among them certainly people who maybe would've looked the other way without him.

so thank you, marco. i hope we'll see each other in black and yellow again, when the time's right.

So we all saw Thomas’ post. He’s so amazing for posting this for Marco. Always knew he was a top guy.

BUT ALSO. They were just teammates on the national team, they may actually be friends, but nowhere near as close at he and Mats. Imagine what he posts when Mats retires, I don’t think my heart will be able to take it 🥹
