Diks discusses his leadership development and captaincy role at Gladbach amid the club's difficult start to the Bundesliga season.

Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Kevin Diks has reflected on his journey as a leader in an interview with international journalists. The stand-in captain, who has worn the armband in three of Gladbach's opening five Bundesliga matches due to Tim Kleindienst's injury, spoke about how he has developed into a leadership role over time. Despite the club losing all five of their opening fixtures, Diks emphasised the importance of staying positive and focusing on controllable factors. He noted that leadership doesn't require being vocal and that he has naturally evolved into the role through experience.
