Exciting Wins - Plea's Powerhouse Performance in Borussia's Jersey!
Once again, Plea shone brightest for Borussia against Hoffenheim, bagging his sixth goal of the season with the crucial 1-0 strike. Plea, now 30, has returned to his best under the guidance of Gerardo Seoane, 45, and marked a significant landmark in his Borussia career.
Plea's 100th Borussia Goal!
In the 58th minute, Plea, supported by Joe Scally, 20, stormed into the Hoffenheim penalty area. A foul on Plea by Kabak resulted in a penalty. With both Julian Weigl, 27, and Tomas Cvancara, 23, unable to play due to injury and muscle problems, Plea took on the responsibility and converted to give Borussia a vital lead.
A milestone reached with his 100th goal for Borussia! Over the course of 189 games, Plea has netted 55 times and set up 45 more. A sensational tally, indeed.
When Plea made a move to Borussia in the summer of 2018, for a whopping €23 million, many speculated it would be just a stepping stone in his career. However, half a decade later, Plea is still an essential part of the Borussia squad, functioning as both a goal scorer and a playmaker, even amidst the departures of key players like Denis Zakaria, 27, and Breel Embolo, 26.
Bundesliga Action Awaits
As if on cue, Plea scored three times as many goals as the previous season. The cup contest against Wolfsburg, on the 8th of December at 8:45 pm, shows a Westfalenstadion packed with spectators, with PLZ ARD and Sky broadcasting the game.
Not just any game, but one of significant financial implications for Borussia. A win here could be game-changing.
