Following is an email we received from the editor of a Borussia Munchengladbach website, giving us an insight into what to expect from their ex-player Steve Gohouri… click the title above for
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
my name is Daniel Louis and I am the initiator of the German Borussia Mönchengladbach fan page ( see http://www.buechsenwurf.de ).
I am neither an official of my team nor in any other official position related to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
I would like to get in contact with you in order to talk about the player you have just signed from us. To avoid any misunderstandings let me put it as obvious as possible. It is a pity that Steve had to leave us, since he is an amazing defender with an open heart. He is always willing to fight for his club until the referee blows the whistle. On top of that the whole crowd still loves him for his way of playing/fighting football.
None the less he was also famous for his ‘extracurricular activities’ such as spending the night in a pub before an important derby or for missing to see the doctors as part of his recovery plan. Therefore he was kicked out of our first squad and found himself on the bench of our second team.
As far as I am concerned, Steve will be a great help for you in staying in the league, since I do believe that he has learned his lesson and is more than grateful to get the chance to play in a professional team again. The Premiere League has always been a dream of him.
Me and many other fans will keep our fingers crossed for him and his new team.
I would really appreciate if you will get back to me, since I would like to talk about your expectations regarding having signed Steve Gohouri and your club, that only a few people do know in Germany. With your allowance I would then like to publish our discussion on the webpage mentioned above.
Regards Daniel
