As the LA Galaxy prepares to take on the new season, the team has made a significant addition to its roster with the signing of former Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus. The 35-year-old German player has joined the team with a clear goal in mind – to bring the championship back to the LA Galaxy. With a rich history of success, including five MLS Cup titles, the team has not won the championship since 2014. Reus is determined to change that and is excited to be a part of the team’s journey.
Reus’ Move to the LA Galaxy
Reus spent 12 years at Borussia Dortmund, where he established himself as one of the top players in the Bundesliga. During his time at the club, he won numerous awards, including three Bundesliga Player of the Season titles. However, after 12 years, Reus felt it was time for a change and a new challenge. He chose the LA Galaxy as his next destination, citing the team’s rich history and the opportunity to play in a new league as major factors in his decision.
“I just wanted to play football and have fun with a new experience at a new club,” Reus said in a recent interview. “The LA Galaxy have not won the title for 10 years. This year I think they, or we, have a good chance to bring the championship back. That is why I am here.”
Reus’ Experience and Skills
Reus brings a wealth of experience and skills to the LA Galaxy. During his time at Borussia Dortmund, he scored 171 goals in 426 appearances and won 48 caps for Germany, scoring 15 goals. He is known for his speed, agility, and goal-scoring ability, making him a valuable addition to the team.
Reus’ experience playing in the Bundesliga and the Champions League will also be beneficial to the team. He has played against some of the top teams in Europe and has a deep understanding of the game. His leadership skills and ability to read the game will be an asset to the team as they navigate the MLS season.
The LA Galaxy‘s Chances of Winning the Championship
The LA Galaxy has a strong team this season, with a good mix of experienced players and young talent. The team has been performing well in the preseason, and Reus’ addition has given them an extra boost. However, the team will face stiff competition from other teams in the league, including their local rivals, LAFC.
LAFC has been performing well in recent seasons, winning the MLS Cup in 2022. The team has a strong squad, including French World Cup winners Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud. However, Reus is confident that the LA Galaxy can compete with the best teams in the league.
“I will be ready for a duel with Giroud,” Reus joked in a recent interview. “I think we have a good chance to bring the championship back. We have a strong team, and I am excited to be a part of it.”
Reus’ Thoughts on Jude Bellingham
Reus spent three years playing with England’s Jude Bellingham at Borussia Dortmund. He has high praise for the young player, who has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances.
“The way he plays, he invests everything in every game, 100%,” Reus said. “He is very physical and he never stops. You saw it in the Euros. He was exhausted at the end of the games. But he will manage it because he has had a lot of experience now.”
The LA Galaxy‘s Schedule and Upcoming Games
The LA Galaxy will resume its season later this month, with a busy schedule of games ahead. The team will face off against LAFC in a highly anticipated match, as well as other teams in the league.
The team’s schedule can be found on the LA Galaxy website, along with ticket information and other details. Fans can also follow the team on social media to stay up-to-date on the latest news and updates.
As the LA Galaxy prepares to take on the new season, fans are excited to see what the team can achieve. With Reus on board, the team has a good chance of bringing the championship back to the LA Galaxy. Will they be able to achieve their goal? Only time will tell.
