Desky: Although Jan Cootto s performance is not up to expectations, Dortmund is confident in him

According to German Sky Sports, Dortmund is still full of confidence in defender Jan Cootto.

In the summer of 2024, Jan Cootto joined Dortmund with high expectations. The Brazilian player had performed well during his loan to Girona, but his performance at Dortmund failed to meet expectations. In 35 official games last season, Young Cootto scored only once and seemed to be inconsistent in defense. In addition, he said in a recent Brazil interview that he felt uncomfortable in Germany and had some adaptation problems. These factors have turned him from a highly anticipated new player to a worrying player. When he was in Girona, Jan Cootto was often placed in a higher position, and his speed, skill and desire to attack were fully demonstrated. However, at Dortmund, he was given a more defensive role, which prevented his advantage from being fully utilized, and instead exposed some weaknesses in position and confrontation. Despite this, Dortmund remains confident in the 23-year-old Brazilian player. Due to the contract terms, Young Cootto has been bought out for 20 million euros, and the club hopes to inspire his potential in the new season.

Sky Sports reporter Begger said: "They developed a training plan for Jan Cootto, asking him to strictly implement it because he was in poor health when he returned in the winter. He was famous for his overly casual attitude at some point, but Dortmund knew this before and hoped to help him get back on track by emphasizing disciplined Kovac."
