Bellingham Jr.: I once resisted Dortmund because I was afraid of not being able to be myself. Votsk s words made me understand

Dortmund's new player Job Bellingham made his debut in the team's Club World Cup debut. In an interview with DAZN, he talked about his debut, his decision to transfer to Dortmund and his favorite position.

Bellingham Jr. made a substitute in the 59th minute of Dortmund's 0-0 draw with Fruminense. He admitted that it was a complicated debut: "To be honest, it's a bit unreal, a little strange, because the game was played in the United States - the feeling is really different."

However, he also said that it was "a cool feeling" and said: "This stadium is very special, I have never been here before. And I feel very comfortable on the court."

He is one of the best Dortmund players in this game and is expected to get more playing time in Saturday's match against Mamelodi Sunset. He also expressed a clear preference for his position: "I like to play in the middle, where everything revolves around me. I can turn around and move in different directions and not be restricted to the wing. I undoubtedly think of myself as a B2B midfielder."

His brother Zude Bellingham has played this role in Dortmund, and Bellingham Jr. actually doesn't want to be compared with his brother, but due to his transfer, it is almost inevitable that the outside world will compare the two. He himself knew that this seemed "contradictory" and admitted: "For a long time, I extended my heart to resist joining Dortmund - this was purely because I was afraid of not being able to be myself."

However, later Dortmund CEO Vatsk found the words that touched him: the other party told Bellingham that the key point was not to be different, but to do the right thing.

Bellingham Jr. said: "It was this sentence that convinced me. I wanted to go the right path, rather than force myself to choose a different path. If Dortmund is the right path for many young players - then why don't I go? If I go to another club just because Zude has been here, it would be wrong."

In the end, Dortmund spent about 30 million euros to sign the hot star from Sunderland. Job said: "Dortmond worked hard for me for a long time - and finally convinced me. Just as my family always said: follow your heart."
