Ullrich's promotion: From Hertha talent to the Gladbach hopeful!

An exciting chapter in football begins for 20-year-old Lukas Ullrich! After a long wait and switching from Hertha BSC to Borussia Mönchengladbach, the talented left -back finally has the chance to prove himself in the Bundesliga. While his internal competitor Luca Netz fails due to a foot injury, Ullrich could take the opportunity to consolidate his place in the starting XI. Hertha's academy director Andreas "Zecke" Neuendorf said sarcastically about the change when he said: "We wish him a good trip."

In the past year and a half, Ullrich has often been in the shadow of network, which dominated the position of the left -back. But now that network cannot play, coach Gerardo Seoane has the opportunity to put Ullrich in the spotlight. Seoane praised Ullrich's progress: "He improved enormously with us in his first year." Despite these positive words, Seoane rely on other players in the first games without a network. Ullrich's debut in the Bundesliga took place early in the last season, but injuries and little season held him back.

Ullrich's breakthrough?

In the regional league, Ullrich has already shown impressive performances for the U 23 from Gladbach, but the leap into the first team was out for a long time. After his return from a shoulder injury, he was able to prove himself against Werder Bremen and in the DFB Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt. In these games, he showed his skills and ensured positive accents that could now open the door to the StageMelf. Gladbach's sports director Roland Virkus is certain: "A lot will come from him." Ullrich himself has every reason to be happy, because after his first point game without defeat, he posted a bright photo on Instagram: "With a smile into the new week."
