Instead of the Swiss head coach Seoane, who has been leading the team since the 2023-2024 season, Eugen Polanski of the U-23 team will take the helm for the time being, announcing the replacement of Seoane.

Castrov's career, which recently became the first foreign-born Korean naturalized player, has become a huge variable. Kastroff, who joined Mönchengladbach ahead of this season, was unable to properly take the opportunity to play under coach Seoane.

Fortunately, Castrov is expected to fit well with Polanski's style, who became the interim head coach.

As an alternative to strengthening the central midfield in numbers, Polanski said Castrov and Jannik Engelhardt could be utilized.

As shown in the South Korean national team, Castrov is a fighter-type player with a lot of fighting spirit in the stadium. Although he is not a great player, he can greatly help control the center while doing bad things in the midfield. He also plays a good role in protecting the defense primarily. If Polanski wants to balance the team first and make the center hard, Kastrov can be a good enough choice.

Of course, there are still many competitors. The main central midfielders Philip Sender and Rocco Reitz are still in good shape. Engelhardt, a promising player along with Kastrov, is also a contender. We will know what Polanski's first choice will look like in the Leverkusen expedition on the 22nd. Securing time in his team is very important because he is a castrope who wants to advance to the World Cup as a Korean player.
