Giovanni Reyna, once a highly touted talent from the Bundesliga, has made a remarkable comeback in Ligue 1 with Racing Strasbourg. After years of injuries and a disappointing stay at Borussia Mönchengladbach, the 23-year-old American has quickly become a key player for his new team. In his first five appearances in Ligue 1, he has started four times and scored his first goal for Racing Strasbourg, having previously managed only 510 minutes and a single goal in 19 Bundesliga appearances.
Reyna's success at Racing Strasbourg has also translated to the US national team, where he has played eight consecutive matches for his country since August. Coach Hugo Oliveira has fully trusted Reyna, deploying him as a number eight in his 4-3-3 system. Reyna no longer worries about his past injury struggles and has fully embraced his new role, stating that he feels like he is "slowly getting back to being fully myself."
