Jobe Bellingham's Dortmund Struggles Mirror Jude's Success
21 Jan
Summary
- Jobe Bellingham hasn't stepped out of his brother Jude's shadow at Dortmund.
- He has only started 11 games with three assists in 25 appearances.
- Jude Bellingham achieved significant success at Dortmund before moving to Real Madrid.
Jobe Bellingham's transition to Borussia Dortmund has not lived up to the club's expectations, with his performance failing to match the legendary status his older brother, Jude, achieved. Kehl's confidence in Jobe forging his own path has yet to materialize on the pitch.
Jude Bellingham became a hero at Signal Iduna Park between 2020 and 2023, amassing 59 goal involvements in 132 matches and winning a DFB-Pokal. He then completed a nine-figure transfer to Real Madrid.
Jobe, who joined Dortmund at an age older than Jude when he left, had more senior experience from two seasons at Sunderland. However, he has so far only started 11 games for Dortmund, contributing a modest three assists over 25 appearances.
This limited impact has led to Jobe frequently being a substitute, with head coach Niko Kovac yet to fully integrate him into the team's playing style. His development appears to have halted, prompting concern over his career trajectory.
