While Jens Kastrov (23, Mönchengladbach), the "first foreign-born mixed-race national team," was canceled due to an ankle injury, local media in Germany are also expressing regret. It is a more regrettable atmosphere because he showed off his peak skills just before joining the national team.
Germany's "Gladbach Live" said on the 30th (Korea Standard Time), "Painful news was delivered to Mönchengladbach. "Derby Hero" Kastroff was injured during the transfer to the South Korean national team and returned," the report said.
The Korea Football Association announced that "Kastrov will be released from the national team and return to Mönchengladbach." Castrov, who suffered a sprained right ankle in a Bundesliga match just before his call-up, joined the national team and repeated his treatment and training. However, it was decided that it was difficult to put in the ground in the end.
Castrov, who missed the first match of the March A match against Ivory Coast (0-4 loss) on the 28th, will eventually leave the national team ahead of the second match against Austria on April 1.
"Glatbach Live" sighed deeply at Kastroff's futile injury. "The most angry thing is that Castrov did not get on the ground for a minute in the warm-up match against Ivory Coast," he said. "His absence will be a huge blow for Mönchengladbach, who is set to face an important match against Heidenheim this weekend."
In fact, Castrov had a perfect performance in the "Line Derby" against FC Cologne just before the national team was called up. After scoring the first goal in the 28th second of the first half, he added one assist, and in the second half, he remained on the ground instead of replacing his ankle and scored a mid-range wedge goal to lead the 3-3 draw.
At the time, German 'Bild' praised the fighting spirit, saying, "Kastrov had unpleasant pain on his soles, but he endured it by clenching his teeth."
In fact, his form reached its peak after recently changing his position to a side defender and scoring his first multi-goal in his career. However, he turned to his team without showing a good performance in the national team.
