Jens Kastroff's performance award is recognized.
Kastrov's team Borussia Mönchengladbach won the player of the month award in September on its official channel on the 17th (Korea time). Congratulations. Kastrov took a commemorative photo with a smile on his face with a small trophy.
Kastrov, who played for Nuremberg (Germany's second division) until last season, confirmed his move to Mönchengladbach before the summer transfer window opened. After moving to Mönchengladbach, one of the most prestigious German clubs, Kastrov took the first step in his career.
However, it was not easy right after the transfer. Former coach Herard Ceoane did not appoint Castrov. As the slump of last season continued under coach Seoane, the club decided to throw out Seoane after just three games. As soon as the transfer occurred, there was a big variable of replacing the coach, which was a good thing for Castrov as a result.
Mönchengladbach, who sent coach Seoane out, gave coach Eugen Polanski, who was coaching the U-23 team, as the interim head coach. Polanski appreciated Kastrov's versatile ability and immediately began to appoint Kastrov.
Originally a central midfielder, Castrov was given an aggressive role as he was deployed to the second line amid the strikers' string injuries. It's not a familiar position for Castrov, but Castrov has done 120% of the job. After the transition to Polanski's managerial system, he immediately started in the league. Bayer Leverkusen scored with a threatening move, but unfortunately, he was ruled offside.
Kastrov, who improved his scoring sense, scored his Bundesliga debut goal against Einracht Frankfurt. Sadly, it was his debut goal in a situation where he could suffer a shocking defeat of 0-6, so Castrov could not even properly celebrate the goal. However, after Kastrov's comeback goal, Mönchengladbach's teammates came to their senses and made the 0-6 disaster a 4-6 defeat.
Castrov, who performed better than expected in the match against Leverkusen and Frankfurt, was given the club's Player of the Month award in September. It is a sign that Castrov is quickly adapting to the team as soon as he transfers.
I'm happy to win the Player of the Month award, but Castrov's shoulders are heavy. The team has fallen to 17th place as it has not won a single game in six games since the opening of the league. Mönchengladbach has not won the league since April. Only when we break the current atmosphere can we seek to escape the relegation zone. If Castrov continues his performance and saves the team from the crisis, he will leap to a more important player. This will also be a boon to the Republic of Korea, which has selected Kastrov as a member of the national team.
