Reitz Says He Seeks Father‑in‑Law Pflipsen’s Advice in Sky Documentary

The midfielder’s on‑camera comments spotlight a family mentorship rooted in Gladbach heritage.

Overview

  • In the second part of Sky’s “Mythos Borussia: Eine Legende wird 125,” the 23‑year‑old says he periodically asks Karlheinz Pflipsen for feedback on his game.
  • He explains they review match clips because the former Gladbach midfielder offers a different perspective.
  • The two meet about once a week to play golf for a meal wager, which Reitz says he usually pays.
  • Pflipsen, a 197‑appearance club figure who won the 1995 DFB‑Pokal, praises Reitz’s “remarkable” development and notes his status as a homegrown fan.
  • Reitz, recently a first‑time father, jokes he hopes to equal Pflipsen’s 1995 cup feat, with the documentary set to air from 21 November.
