Borussia Dortmund Players Express Relief Following Jude Bellingham’s Departure
According to a report by Bild, Borussia Dortmund players have expressed a sense of contentment following Jude Bellingham’s departure from the club. It seems that the Englishman’s desire for the spotlight was a point of contention during his time in the Bundesliga. Often, he would stand alone while applauding fans after matches, rather than doing so alongside his teammates.
There were also instances where his behavior on the pitch raised eyebrows. Allegedly, Bellingham directed insulting remarks towards Nico Schulz after Dortmund’s elimination by Rangers in the 2021/22 Europa League. Lip readers claim he said, “You can’t play a ***ing pass, you’re *ing st! Every damn time!” to his teammate.
Dortmund’s players reportedly felt that Bellingham’s presence was somewhat overshadowed by Erling Haaland. The team didn’t find his leadership qualities impressive, as he often displayed a moody demeanor.
However, the locker room atmosphere has reportedly improved significantly since Bellingham’s departure.
It’s worth considering that this narrative might reflect a certain bias against Jude Bellingham in the German media. Moreover, much of the critique revolves around the 2021/22 season when he was only 18 or 19 years old. In the subsequent campaign, he reportedly led the team more effectively, and Dortmund’s near-miss for the Bundesliga title could partly be attributed to his absence due to injury.
Having formed numerous connections and friendships in recent months, Bellingham’s suitability for Real Madrid appears undeniable, especially given his current outstanding form.
