He worked in Barcelona, the ropeway to play for Slovakia. Coach Tarkovic told us more about him
Although he was not born here, the 21-year-old has family ties with our country.
It is no longer a taboo that we see players in national football teams who were not born in a given country, but after gaining citizenship they decided to defend its colors at the international level.
Slovakia is no exception. In recent years, Karim Guédé, a native of Togčany, David Depetris, a striker from Argentina, Boris Sekulič, a Serbian defender, and another back, Vernon De Marco (Argentina), have gradually worn a jersey with a double cross on their chests.
However, we could soon see another “foreigner”. However, compared to the above-mentioned football players, this would be a slightly different case. Although Ľudovít Reis was born abroad, he also has family ties with our country. His parents emigrated from Košice to the Netherlands in the 1990s, where the 21-year-old midfielder was born.

Reis now started after the diary Hamburger Morgenpost has arrived with the information that the Slovak Football Association (SFZ) began to take an interest in the native of Haarlem again. During his youth material, he preferred his native Netherlands.
The cited source refers to the words of the current assistant coach of the Slovak national team, Marek Mintál, who worked successfully in Germany for many years. That’s where Reis is currently losing. In the second-league Hamburg, he is one of the biggest strongholds of the former long-time league player.
“People is a very interesting and extremely talented player. If we managed to achieve it, it was immediately a benefit for the Slovak national team, “said Mintál.

The main pilot of our “A” Štefan Tarkovič also agrees with his opinion. “He is a creative boy, whom Marek was already from Osnabrück, where he was in a six-month guest appearance last season. He plays the so-called ‘eight’ in the middle position, he likes to take part in offensive actions, so he is definitely interesting for us, “Tarkovič told TVNOVINY.sk.
As he approached, the whole process is still in the race. “We watched his matches when they were playing in the Netherlands and still in his current team. We talked to the coaches that it was worth contacting him. We are currently trying to contact him through Marek Mintál, who is known in Hamburg. “

Subsequently, they traveled to Germany to see the People. “We would like to talk to him personally about whether he would be interested in representing Slovakia at all. We found out by scouting that he has Slovak parents and that he has not played a single match for the Dutch senior team so far, “explained the old-new coach of Slovakia.
As he concluded, the legislation gives Reis the green light. “He is entitled to start for our country. The only minor obstacle is the passport, which takes about half a year to complete. “
Ludovit Reis was born on June 1, 2000. He is a pupil of Groningen, who currently works as the Slovak representative Tomáš Suslov. In the summer of 2019, he transferred to FC Barcelona for 3.5 million euros, where he worked for a year in reserve time.
