 | Kovac on Bellingham`s playing time at Borussia Dortmund: Job is very talented, but coming from the English 2nd Division is a big leap. This club not only has good salaries, but also high competition16-03-2026 |
Niko Kovac has spoken out about Job Bellingham`s playing time at Borussia Dortmund. In 6 matches for the Dortmund club, the midfielder spent 221 out of 540 possible minutes on the field.
Everyone wants to play more. Everyone wants to play anytime, anywhere. But then you would only need eleven players. A contract with this club means not only a good salary, but also damn high competition.
Job is a very talented player, but he obviously comes from the English second division. He has a lot of potential, but he needs to get into the game because it`s a big leap.
I`m pleased with its development. You can`t make the mistake of putting too much pressure, despite the name. I don`t think this will do the guy any good. You can`t expect a player to get everything he wants in two months. Sometimes young players take up to six months, but I am sure it will happen faster, ” said the Borussia Dortmund head coach.
