Bellin knows that he needs to take the initiative to practice more privately; Dortmund’s senior management believes that he will definitely take off.

Hupu, October 8th: German media Bild Dortmund reporter Maximilian Wessing updated Job Bellingham’s situation in Dortmund.

Bild finds out how Dortmund got him back on track – and what motivates the top brass!

—After training, Bellingham often conducts individual training with the assistants of head coach Niko Kovac (53 years old), such as passing training or running training. Club executives are very concerned about this additional investment.

When the management signed him from Sunderland for about 30 million euros, they considered that jumping from the English Championship to the Bundesliga or Champions League would be a huge challenge. Therefore, they don't think he can lead the team in the first few months, but think it will take months or even years for him to grow.

In several discussions, they shared their views with him.

Job Bellingham moved to Dortmund from Sunderland last summer for about 30 million euros. He signed a contract until 2030.

So recently, Dortmund’s top management had a long talk with Bellingham and exchanged opinions. As for Hans-Joachim Watzke, his appeal is roughly the same: he should stay calm and his time will eventually come.

—The most important improvement: the team’s fitness level. The fact that Bellingham has one of the best physical stats in the league gives the front office extra encouragement.

—Bellingham has found a true friend in the team: midfielder Felix Nmecha, who has given him a lot of support as he adapts to the team. Both discovered a common passion: cage tennis.

From Dortmund's perspective, Bellingham's takeoff is only a matter of time.
