Dortmund Change Protocols After Bellingham’s Father Confronts Coach (1 Viewer)

[BoyGeorge]

Bit of drama at Dortmund after their 3-3 draw with St. Pauli on opening day. They were 3-1 up and cruising, then completely collapsed in the last few minutes – conceded a penalty, went down to 10 men, and ended up dropping points.

Jobe Bellingham made his Bundesliga debut after that £32m move from Sunderland but was subbed off at half-time, along with Adeyemi. His dad Mark (who’s also his agent) wasn’t happy at all.

He apparently confronted sporting director Sebastian Kehl and even wanted words with Niko Kovac afterwards. Caused enough of a scene in the corridor near the dressing room that Dortmund have now changed their rules, only players, coaches, and staff will be allowed in that area from now on.

The club are downplaying it, saying the issue’s been resolved and that they’ve always had a good relationship with the Bellingham family.

Kovac meanwhile admitted the team weren’t focused, lacked intensity, and basically got bullied by St. Pauli despite having enough individual quality to go 3-1 up.

That was extreme from Bellinghams dad.
