Mönchengladbach In a few days Joe Scally will celebrate his 18th birthday. This is the beginning of the defender’s adventure at his new club, Borussia Mönchengladbach. Scally is planned for the pros, but will probably play first in the U-23s.
When Gladbach announced the deal with Joe Scally and MLS club New York City FC in November 2019, neither party could have foreseen the circumstances in which the change would occur about a year later. The organizing effort for Scally’s trip to the Lower Rhine is far greater than usual in times of the global corona pandemic.
Scally will fly from New York to Mönchengladbach in the next few days. Upon arrival, you will be tested for the corona virus immediately so that you can train with your new teammates as soon as possible.
He celebrates his 18th birthday on December 31st. This means that the contract that Borussia has concluded with him comes into force automatically. Scally is Borussia’s only winter access, coach Max Eberl and coach Marco Rose had other transfers. That he can help the Gladbachers right away on the pro team, the chances of that are relatively slim. The American talent engagement is a perspective transfer.
“I prefer to play right defense. I run from one side of the touchline to the other, I love the physical game. But I don’t neglect my technique on the ball either, so I should adapt very well to the style of play in Germany, “Scally told the online magazine” Fohlen-Hautnah “in October.
With Stefan Lainer, Tony Jantschke, Jordan Beyer and Michael Lang, Borussia currently has enough opportunities in this position. But Scally should be slowly introduced to the professionals. Then he will practice the match at Borussia U23. So far, Scally has been used four times in MLS, the highest American professional league. In September he went down in club history as the youngest player to start in New York.
But with all the laurels anticipated: At Scally, patience will be required. In any case, for a player who comes from another continent at a young age and has not yet mastered the language, he is given enough time to get used to his new environment.
You should at least get to know Borussia Park quickly. Because, according to information from our editorial team, Scally will initially live in one of the four apartments owned by the association, which were built in the new building “8 Grad”. Ramy Bensebaini and Marcus Thuram, among others, moved there after their changes until they found their own place to stay.
