“I am particularly happy for Lasso Plea that he scored the goal which assured the victory in his 200th match for Borussia. »» The tribute paid this weekend by the president of Borussia Monchengladbach Rainer Bonhof and the 52,000 spectators of Borussia Park was up to the trace that the tricolor international is leaving the German club. Arrived in 2018 from the OGC Nice, the striker trained at OL is currently playing his 7th season in the Bundesliga. With the 2019-20 season, this is undoubtedly the most successful.
And if Borussia is currently 5th in the championship (his best ranking for 5 years), he owes it largely to his tricolor striker who has already scored 10 goals and delivered 5 assists in 24 championship matches. Decisive every 99 minutes with “Die Fohlen”, Plea is currently in great shape, attests to its resounding triplet against the Werder Bremen before the International Truce (4-2) and the single goal of the meeting between Borussia and the RB Leipzig (1-0) this weekend during its 200th in the colors of the Mönchengladbach club. What make you happy, coach Roland Virkus. “Lasso is one of our best players and scores again regularly. This makes it even more precious for us. »»
It was the 57th goal scored by the former Lyonnais in the Bundesliga. This places him at the doors of the top 10 of the best scorers in the history of Gladbach. He still has a few matches to integrate the top 10 and exceed a certain Martin Dahlin, the emblematic Swedish scorer of the 90s. For Alassane Plea (32 years old), he will probably be time to bow out to try a final challenge, he who has an exit clause at the end of the season and a current contract until June 2026. And given the performance of the moment and his immense experience (393 Confused in his career for 115 goals and 72 assists), the native of Lille has no shortage of courtiers.
If Ligue 1 will come to the news, as well as Saudi Arabia, it is on the side of the Premier League that Plea could afford a last size challenge. According to our information, Crystal Palace follows his performance carefully and could go to the offensive, especially in the event of departure from his scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta. In Turkey, his profile appeals to Besiktas which would not be against bringing a little new blood to his attack, especially as Ciro Immobile (11 goals) and Ernest Muçi (4 goals) are relatively disappointing. There is no doubt that other courtiers should get involved in the fight, especially if Plea continues to evolve at such a level by the end of the season … to follow.
