Borussia Dortmund’s sports manager Lars Ricken does not see the heated discussion between Jobe Bellingham’s father and consultant Mark and sports director Sebastian Kehl after the 3: 3 draw at FC St. Pauli. At the disappointing kick-off of the black and yellow, the 19-year-old newcomer had been replaced at the half-time break, which-in addition to the decisive team performance-caused resentment at Bellingham’s family.
“We got Jobe Bellingham because we have really built up a relationship of trust with the parents for years. Now the family has been flown in to the first Bundesliga game of their son and then wanted to meet Jobe after the game and then stood in the way to the cabin and then talked emotionally with Sebastian, which is not a problem at all due to this relationship,” said Ricken at the football talk “Sky90”.
Without consequences, however, it should not remain that the entourage of the young midfield player was closer than actually allowed. “In the future, we will make sure that the area around the cabin has players, coaches and any official access that we no longer come in Bredouille to comment on such messages. But today everything has already been clarified – no drama,” said Ricken.
The Dortmunders want to add more on the transfer market, the former professional announced – without wanting to go into detail. It is clear “that the last week of the transfer period has been broken and we want to do something. Maybe I am currently no longer allowed to say it is like a share.
According to reports, Borussia is based on the commitment of the Chelsea duo Aarón Anselmino (20) and Carney Chukwuemeka (21), the medical check should take place shortly.
