Midfielder Rode Sebastian is a high-level footballer who, by the age of 26, already has two German champion titles. Now the young player is in favor of the Dortmund Borussia, as part of which he seeks to continue to win trophies.
Club travel
A native of the German city of Zeheim-Jugenheim, Sebastian Rode began to actively engage in football from a young age, from 1995 to 2005 he studied at various sports schools. In 2005, the Kickers Academy appreciated the talent of the defender, who invited the player to his place.
Having played for the youth for three seasons, in the spring of 2009 Rode made his debut for the main team, having replaced in the end of the match against Braunschweig Eintracht. From that moment on, the young footballer increasingly became the base and in September of that year celebrated his first goal, bringing the Kickers a draw in the fight against Jan Regensburg.
Hit in the Bundesliga
In the summer of 2010, Sebastian Rode signed a contract with the German Bundesliga team, the Frankfurt Eintracht. But due to an injury, having missed the first half of the season, the defender appeared in only 11 meetings during the championship, following which the team left the German elite division. A year later, Eintracht returned to the Bundesliga, and Sebastian for 12 months in the second division became one of the players in the starting lineup and the author of 11 assists.
Rode played the second season in the Bundesliga completely, having taken part in almost all the championship matches. As a result of the presence of talented players in the defense, “Eintracht” took 6th place, and the club’s players, including Sebastian, were taken “by pencil” in many European clubs. Having played for the Frankfurt club for another season, in the summer of 2014, the defender moved to another team.
Fairy Tale in Bavaria
With his new club, Sebastian Rode chose Munich “Bavaria”. From the first days in the team, the defender approached the base, but more often appeared for a replacement, rather than starting the game from the first minutes. Despite this, he took part in 23 meetings, becoming the author of two goals and 5 assists, as well as having played in 7 matches of the Champions League, where he scored a goal scored against CSKA Moscow. As a result, the player in the Bayern Munich became the champion of the country, and a year later, having missed a short period due to injury, he became the two-time winner of the Bundesliga.
Going to the opponent’s camp
In the summer of 2016, a proposal was received from Dortmund Borussia to buy a defender. Agreeing to a price of 12 million euros, Bayern gave the player to the camp of his rival.
For “bumblebees” Sebastian Rode began to play very successfully, already in the third match, opening the score for his goals for the new club, hitting the gates of “Darmstadt”. But the defender's ending of the year turned out to be somewhat blurry - a series of injuries knocked the player out of the training process, and the football player spends the beginning of 2017 in the infirmary.
