Breathe a sigh of relief at 1860: Leandro Morgalla (19) – as db24 reported yesterday – is back in coaching the team – if the defensive talent after the shin sprain will also be part of the starting line-up in the last home game of the year against Rot Weiss Essen (Monday, 19:00, db24 ticker) heard, however, is still uncertain. If Michael Köllner needs more mentality in the team than he does, then Morgalla must not be missing …
Meanwhile, the U19 national team player is listed as the preferred candidate for the next Bundesliga club: The Internet portal “90min” reports that Werder Bremen also have Morgalla in the list. More recently, the professional lion (market value €700,000) has been associated with Borussia Mönchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt and also VfL Wolfsburg.
Scouts from Werder Bremen are said to have observed Morgalla several times. According to information from db24, during the 2-0 defeat in Freiburg, former national team player Marco Engelhardt, scout of the Weser club, was sitting in the stands of the Dreisam stadium – the problem: the sick Morgalla was not on the pitch.
PS: After forced relegation in 1982, Bremen signed the then super-talent Rudi Völler in a package deal with Wolfgang Sidka. Aunt Käthe’s career is well known. The highlight: In 1990 Völler became world champion in Rome with Matthäus, Brehme & Co.
