Head coach Niko Kovac from Borussia Dortmund relies on a clear regular formation in his first few weeks. A BVB shooting star from the first half of the season was recently left out. According to sports director Sebastian Kehl, the first frustration comes up.
Jamie Gitten is anything but satisfied with his current role as a substitute at Borussia Dortmund.
“You can tell that he is just frustrated,” BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is quoted from “Bild” after the 2-0 victory at FC St. Pauli: “But in the end it is about the team-Jamie knows that too.”
So far, the young Englishman has been one of the few light turns in the black and yellow team, and he was able to contribute eleven direct goal involvement in the current Bundesliga season. He also scored four goals in the Champions League. Behind top striker Serhou Guirassy, the 20-year-old is the second best scorer in the team.
BVB star Gitten fell in “A hole”
But after two weak appearances against VfB Stuttgart (1: 2) and VfL Bochum (0: 2), he recently lost his regular place on the offensive outer lane. Against Bochum, after his substitution, he even born with the BVB fans who traveled with the frustration.
Instead, coach Niko Kovac gave Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi on the wings, against Union Berlin (6: 0) and St. Pauli (2-0) Jamie Gitten only came into the game in the final minutes after a substitution.
At the same time, Kehl emphasized that Gittens continued to be “incredibly important for the club”, the striker had “developed in the difference”. “But it is good for us that we have this competitive situation.”
Before the game against the Hamburgers, Niko Kovac had emphasized at the press conference that he was happy to have “in this position four equally good players”. Julien Duranville also insists on minutes. Gittens made many games in the current season, “it may be that you fall into a hole”.
Jamie Gitten succeeded in the 2: 4 bankruptcy against Holstein Kiel in mid-January.
