National player Karim Adeyemi is in what is probably the worst form crisis of his young career this season. This is of particular concern to those responsible at BVB, who not only question the 21-year-old’s sporting achievements.
Karim Adeyemi’s form crisis in the current season is and remains a big mystery to which those responsible at BVB have not yet found an answer. The youngster is miles behind his own and the club’s demands and cannot currently be compared with the player who regularly impressed in the black and yellow jersey in the last second half of the season.
Research into the causes has long since begun in Dortmund. The bosses apparently suspect that there are external influences that influence Adeyemi’s sporting development. At least that’s what “Bild” reports.
BVB bosses puzzle over Adeyemi low
Accordingly, it is being discussed in the Dortmund management team whether the 21-year-old really always focuses on football. It is said that the question is being asked more and more frequently to what extent the winger allows himself to be influenced by his environment.
These allegations against Adeyemi are not new. A few weeks ago, “Bild” reported on discussions behind the scenes in Dortmund. At that time, among other things, Adeyemi’s girlfriend Loredana was discussed. However, Adeyemi vehemently denied that the national player was too distracted by her. He assured that it was entirely up to him that things were not going smoothly in the 2023/24 season.
The young international player now wants to use the international break to work on his form. For this he rejected an invitation to the U21. A decision that was sharply criticized by those responsible for the DFB. DFB vice-president Bernd Neuendorf spoke of a “wasted opportunity” and publicly called Adeyemi’s decision a “mistake”.
