Can criticizes BVB colleague Bellingham: “You have to be there”

Jude Bellingham also disappointed across the board in Borussia Dortmund’s clear 4-2 defeat in the top game at FC Bayern. The midfield jewel of BVB even had to put up with criticism from a teammate afterwards.

Jude Bellingham was one of the players on the BVB side who played noticeably poorly at Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga summit. The central midfielder “sometimes acted completely insecure”, it was said in the criticism sport.de (Grade: 5.0), there was no sign of the Englishman showing any signs of rebellion, especially in the first half.

Emre Can, who had already fought a small battle of words with the 19-year-old during the game, initially defended his teammate in the subsequent conversation with “ESPN”: “Jude is still young, he still has a lot to learn.”

Then the German national player followed up with clear criticism: “Here on the lawn, in front of 70,000 or 80,000 spectators, there are a few things that you are not allowed to do. You have to be there and show good body language when a teammate makes a mistake does or overlooks someone. That’s something you have to learn as a team player.”

Is it boiling because of Jude Bellingham at BVB?

Words that suggest Can is far from happy with the star player’s performance. According to “Bild”, the 29-year-old is not alone with his attitude, it is even “boiling” at BVB. Bellingham too often shows a negative attitude when teammates make mistakes.

Sometimes he shows “divas-like” traits, because he snapped after criticism and at the same time likes to be celebrated alone in front of the fans when BVB wins, so “Bild” continues.

Emre Can, meanwhile, added, referring to the missed chance to score points at direct rivals: “We had a plan. When we were 2-0 down, we didn’t stick to our plan. We pressed with one man. That’s enough not.”

Still, it’s not all over, says the midfielder, “there are still enough games, enough points. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season.”
