It’s an old tradition in Gladbach!
All Gladbach professionals from the company’s own foal stables, who have made their competitive debut for Borussia since moving to the Borussia Park in 2004, will be immortalized with their jerseys in the hallway of the stadium, which connects the license and youth cabins, and to the wall hung.
Hosts as bad as ever Holland makes Qatar disaster perfect
Among them top foals like Marcell Jansen (37), Marko Marin (33), Marc-André ter Stegen (30) or Mo Dahoud (26), who later even made it into the national team.
As the 30th player since 2004, Jan Olschowsky (21) has now also been able to fulfill this dream – and hang up his jersey with the number 41 shirt, which he had worn on his competitive debut for the FohlenElf in Bochum, in the cabin aisle.
Olschowsky (who received his first professional contract in 2020) proudly on the Gladbach homepage: “I think I’ve talked to Conor Noss a thousand times regarding how awesome it would be if our two shirts were hanging here. Now the time has come, which fills me with great pride.”
Noss (21) was allowed to immortalize his jersey as the 27th player. Rocco Reitz (20) was ahead of him. After Noss, Moritz Nicolas (25) and Yvandro Borges (18) enjoyed this honor as number 28 number 29.
Nun Olschowsky!
The keeper, who has played for Borussia since the U9s and following the Bochum premiere was also allowed to play once morest Dortmund (4:2) in the sold-out Borussia Park: “Actually, I still haven’t really been able to process everything. A week later I played once more in the U23s and on the same day I was voted player of the month by the fans. That was incredible. I’ll probably only realize now on vacation what a month that was for me.”
He now has two weeks to review this unbelievable time – on December 12, the first training session at Borussia-Park will take place once more for the pros. And Olschowsky can then walk past his jersey every day once more…
