At Real Madrid, the start of the season of Reinier Jesus (18 years old) at Borussia Dortmund worries, a feeling that the footballer shares. The lack of opportunities to date is hindering the final stretch of the playmaker's training process, who has only played 105 minutes so far this season.
This timing places him as the player 20 of the squad (of 22 that have participated) of Favre in prominence, very far from the group of regulars. The Brazilian has remained without jumping to the field in four of the 11 games of the course, a 36.36%, and at the moment it has not been a starter. His intervention limit is the 26 minutes of September 14 during the visit to Duisburg.
They are not flattering data, which generates some uncertainty at the Bernabéu, where an effective medium-term evolution was sensed due to the very high competition from the center of the field onwards (Brandt, Reus, Sancho, Reyna, Haaland …), but not to the point that Reinier barely had options to start playing a new football. The former of Flamengo needs that base from which to demonstrate his potential and this Wednesday in Bruges, for example, he jumped onto the pitch on 86 '… despite the comfortable 0-3 and the fact that on Saturday the duel at the heights with Bayern is due.
Case study until January
There is also a large component of surprise at the situation due to past events. Since Reinier's signing for Madrid in January, many clubs in Spain and abroad have been interested in him, aware that it was very feasible that he would opt for a loan in 2020-21. In summer the requests increased, being chosen the one of a Borussia that had loved him before, until the boy chose to wear white.
It was decided bet on the route of Dortmund for the sports project exposed, that found a good response in the Madrid sports management. With the successful loan of Achraf very recently, Madrid even approved the requirement that Reinier's was also for two seasons. Better news is expected there, because the plans were designed with that duration in mind. But the '20' would not understand that his German stage continued like this and at Christmas, with the club, he would seek a solution. It is essential that he plays, wherever he is.
