Ludovit Reis transferred from HSV to FC Brugge. There, he will soon be able to compete against the best European clubs in official matches.
Regarding his departure from Hamburg, it was said that Ludovit Reis was enticed by the opportunity to regularly participate in European competitions, potentially putting himself in the spotlight for the Dutch national team. FC Brugge, the new employer of the central midfielder, qualified for the Champions League last Wednesday evening with an impressive 6-0 victory over the Rangers.
Reis remained on the bench during the rout, which was aided by an over 80-minute numerical advantage. In the first leg, which the Belgian vice-champions won 3-1, he was only substituted in the 85th minute. In all other official matches, the right-footer was part of the starting lineup. He thus enjoys the trust of head coach Nicky Hayen and is likely to feature in the eight encounters of the Champions League group stage.
Accordingly, Reis will be able to compete against teams from the European elite. Which opponents FC Brugge will face will be determined in the draw today, Thursday, starting at 6:00 PM. The Blauw-Zwart, who reached the round of 16 last season, are in pot two. The top teams' balls are in pot one. Two of them will face FC Brugge.
Thus, Reis could face matches against titleholder Paris St. Germain, Real Madrid, FC Liverpool, or FC Bayern Munich. A quantum leap compared to his time in Hamburg, where away games in Regensburg, Elversberg, or Sandhausen were the norm. These are a thing of the past since the promotion. However, despite the positive development in recent months, HSV is still far from participating in European competitions.
