Hertha Captain Reese Says Coach Leitl Is His Toughest Critic as Promotion Tests Loom

The 28-year-old urges a game-by-game mindset ahead of a run against direct promotion rivals.

Overview

  • Fabian Reese says Stefan Leitl challenges him daily and is never satisfied, calling the coach his strongest critic.
  • Reese describes Leitl as highly adaptable and precise in calibrating strictness with his players.
  • Leitl and Reese previously worked together at Greuther Fürth and reunited in Berlin last February.
  • Reese was appointed Hertha captain before the start of the current season.
  • Hertha face four direct promotion contenders in short order, and Reese argues the squad should avoid talking about distant goals and stay mentally defensive.
