German newspaper: Kosovo Star Rise

Following Milot Rasica's extraordinary presentations for Werder Bremen, the large German newspaper Der Spiegel, has published an article praising the Kosovo star.

Whoever talks about the Werder attack usually speaks of Max Krusen. Milot Rasica is even more dangerous. Bremen's chances of defeating Bayerni in the semi-finals of the Cup were also dependent on 22-year-old, writes Der Spiegel, broadcasting Express.

Among Bayerni's defenders, he penetrated to do his job, Milot Rasica. He's 178 inches tall, but it's not at his expense.

In the preliminary match between Bayerni and Bremen, Rasica stood alone among three opposing defenders. When he got the pass, he let the ball roll toward the midfield from the first touch. And he turned quickly, and ran quickly unto the gate. His moves are too fast.

So Bremen's plan for last night's match against Bayern was to use Rashi's speed to hurt opponents. But Bayerni won the match by 3:2, while Rasica scored one goal and assisted the other.

Whoever speaks of Werder's attack speaks of Max Krusen, Maximilian Egestain or Claudio Pizarro. Rasica, on her own, scored more goals this season than those three combined. His development has been so impressive because he was not expected. Six months ago, 22-year-old was outside the team.

Born in Vushtrri, Kosovo, he played for his native club for several years before he moved to Vitesse in 2015. When he came to Bremen in early 2018, he was still very unemployed.

He was able to prove himself in the one-on-one confrontations with players, but in the field he made the wrong decisions and in the defence phase was just as far from the level of Bundesliga as HSV is from the level of the Champions League.

So Rasica was not usually part of the team. He was forced to learn in a painful way. Milot just couldn't protect”, Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt said.

However, for Werder, players like Rasica are the basis, they are part of the club's business model. The club must detect and develop talents, turn them into stars and then sell them for high prices. With Rasica, the club has found just one.
