Borussia Dortmund should feel the pressure from Jobe Bellingham’s slow start in Germany more than he did.
This is the belief of the European football journalist Andy Brassell, who was unveiled as the status of the association The The place for elite starlets is at risk.
The Bundesliga giants are known on the continent for their role in the development of some of the best young talents in the world.
Dortmund’s iron cladding status for care has entered over € 1 billion (872 million GBP) in outgoing transfers in the past ten years.
Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ilkay Gundogan, Ousmane Dembele and Jadon Sancho arrived as relative unknowns in the club, but were finally sold for massive profits.
However, their transfer strategy has recently developed to invest in established young people such as Erling Haaland and Jew Bellingham.

The younger brother of the latter, Jobe, seemed to be the next player on the conveyor belt after entering this summer.
The 20-year-old held talks with Eintracht Frankfurt before completing a 31 million pound change to BVB from Sunderland in June.
He started Dortmund’s first two lights in the Bundesliga, but has since been banished as a replacement in the late Kameen.
Jobe has to be completed for 90 minutes for Dortmund and a total of only 167 minutes in the German top league.
“I think Dortmund has a lot of pressure to do that right because he did a little leap there,” Brassell told Talksport.com exclusively.
“I think it would have been easy to avoid these comparisons and go to another club.

“For example, we know that Eintracht Frankfurt was really interested in him, just like James Mcateee, who looked around there.
“In fact, you could argue that Frankfurt is now better developers of players than Dortmund because we are changing back to Jürgen Klopp, and they think of all players who have developed there and have become stars there.
“Whether it was Mats Hummels, Lewandowski or Nuri Sahin, it doesn’t necessarily have to be academy products, but young players who somehow get their heads and there was to go there.
“If you have recently been looking for older, more experienced, more expensive players, you are starting [Marcel] Sabitzer is obviously Pascal Gross is one. Those who would not have done during the day are pretty clear.
“So there is another profile of players you have. Of course, people will read this saying:” Oh, you know, you have developed Erling Haaland and Jew Bellingham. “
“I’m sorry, I don’t give them this because they talk about generations.

“Of course Dortmund has a role in playing in her history,” continued European football expert Brassell.
“There is no doubt about it because they became full players there. And that speaks for Dortmund and will continue to speak for Dortmund.
“But when we talk about you as a productive developer of young players who use players who are generations to show what the club does, I don’t think it is a fair comparison.
“So what you do with Jobe and if you do it right and when he becomes the player he wants to be and you want him to become, this is really important for the next players who try to sign.
“Jew Bellingham is a player with a great future who had a choice.
“If that doesn’t go properly, the next one is: ‘Well, okay, maybe I’ll go to Eintracht Frankfurt. Maybe that’s the place where I can develop.’
“In terms of Dortmund, which still makes a prefabricated school for elite young talent, this is really, very important for her.”
