Between holidays and relaxation, there are those who have taken a moment to reflect on making changes. And that is what happened to Niklas SüleGerman defender who showed up at the pre-season retreat of the Borussia Dortmund in better physical shape, having lost about 8 kilos.
It’s all about willpower. The 28-year-old centre-back, as reported by PICTUREwas the first to arrive at the training center of the yellow and black club on the first day of training of the new coach Nuri Sahin. And what struck many was precisely the change in weight sought and achieved by the former Bayern Munich player, as he admitted without mincing words Hans Joachim WatzkeBVB CEO: “When I saw him, I thought we had signed a new player. It’s admirable how he did it. He is in great shape. He realised his mistake and took the necessary measures to correct it.”
What a turnaround. In principle, Borussia Dortmund were ready to sell Süle this summer. The high salary (10 million euros) made it very difficult, but the disappointing season he had lasted has left its mark (only 20 starts out of 31). However, the German newspaper reports that after Hummels’ departure it seems clear that Süle will fight to regain his starting place and gain the approval of coach Sahin.
