Jobe Bellingham, a new signing from Sunderland, made an impressive debut for Borussia Dortmund by scoring in a thrilling 4-3 match against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Club World Cup. The 19-year-old expressed excitement over his goal, describing it as surreal. Despite the challenging conditions in Ohio's heat, Bellingham managed to navigate the match well and build on his integration into the team. Dortmund's coach Niko Kovac praised Bellingham’s performance, emphasizing his potential as a key figure for the club's future.
"It's a little bit surreal really when the ball hits in the net, it's just crazy. Everything happened so slowly but yeah I'm really pleased."
"I think the conditions make it so difficult, especially for us being a European team. They [Sundowns] played a fantastic game but I'm sure they're used to this kind of weather, but we definitely aren't."
"The lads have really helped me settle in and it's been a different experience because rather than signing and then having a summer off, I've got an opportunity to meet everyone and get to grips with how we play and how the coach wants us to play as a team."
"He is among those who are the future of this club," the Dortmund boss said.
