Rocco Reitz (21) won’t soon forget the last few days!
The Gladbach star first scored his first ever Bundesliga goal in the 4-0 win against Wolfsburg the Friday before last. A week later he celebrated his debut in the German U21 national team.
Reitz came on as a substitute in the second half of the European Championship qualifying game against Estonia (4:1) and from that moment on he was completely the focus…

Just seconds after being substituted, Reitz loses his first duel, Estonia scores 1-2 and Germany suddenly swims.
Reitz: “That wasn’t done well by me, I’m annoyed. It’s not nice to start a game like that. There was only one way to make up for it – with goals.”
And Reitz seized this opportunity and scored twice in his U21 debut, first to make it 3-1 and then to make the final score 4-1.
The Gladbacher: “I find it difficult to find words. It was a dream to play for the U21s for the first time. It is a honor. The fact that I scored twice was the icing on the cake.”

U21 coach Toni di Salvo (44) praises Borussia: “He immediately apologized for his mistake and said he had to make it twice as good – and he did that with the two goals. If you score two goals, then you have played a good game.”
Reitz himself is completely overstimulated: “I can’t even realize it yet. This was the best week I’ve ever had. I’m trying to soak it all up and enjoy it all.”
Reitz wants to be in the starting lineup on Tuesday
His U21 teammate Youssoufa Moukoko (18) is very enthusiastic about Reitz: “Rocco is funny and he talks a lot. I enjoy the time with him. He is an outstanding footballer, very confident on the ball. I love playing with him.”

After his U21 debut, he is now really hot and wants to celebrate his starting eleven debut in the top game against league leaders Poland in Essen on Tuesday (6 p.m./Pro7 Maxx): “Of course I hope to be in the starting eleven. I’m going to throw myself into it and offer myself.” And with a smile he adds: “Two goals is a pretty decent application.”
U21 coach di Salvo will hardly be able to get past Reitz in this form…
