Humanity comes before sport for RB Leipzig's Marco Rose. As reported by Bild, the coach of the Bundesliga club traveled to his old home in Willich near Gladbach on Friday morning to help a boy suffering from leukaemia before playing a test match with his team against fourth division side Babelsberg (1:0) in the afternoon.
"When you have children yourself, you drop everything to ensure the health of your own and other children," said the 47-year-old. "Then soccer is just a minor matter." The 15-year-old in question is a Gladbach fan and got to know Rose during his time with the Foals (2019-2021). His father, himself a paediatrician, diagnosed the illness in June.
