According to German media Bild, Dortmund captain Emre Can may have underestimated the pressure that comes with wearing the captain’s armband, and he seems to be struggling in a way that Reus once did.
The pressure of the captain’s armband on Emre Can might be heavier than he admits, and his mistakes have become a recurring theme throughout the season. In the match against Augsburg, Can’s defensive error helped Morris score the winning goal. In the 2-5 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Can was outpaced by Vinicius, which led to anger and ridicule from his own fans.
There is an increasing number of voices from outside suggesting that this midfielder is clearly struggling, and Can’s face has become a symbol of failure and crisis at Borussia Dortmund.
Reus also suffered greatly. For him, voluntarily stepping down from the captaincy after five years last summer was almost a relief.
Can himself is very proud to wear the captain’s armband—however, as a captain, he should be leading the team with excellent performances, not making egregious errors frequently as he has been doing recently.
