Hupu, August 24th, According to German Sky Sports, Dortmund sports director Kyle and new player Job Bellingham's father Mark Bellingham had a fierce debate after the game. Mr. Bellingham expressed strong dissatisfaction with his son being replaced too early and his team's dull and lack of creativity.

In the football debate program on Sunday night, Dortmund CEO Ricken publicly responded to the incident: "We were able to sign Bellingham because we have established a good trust relationship with his parents over the years. The family made a special trip to witness his Bundesliga debut this time. Naturally, I hope to see him after the game, so I had an emotional exchange with Kyle in the channel, but based on the relationship between the two parties, this is not a problem at all."

However, Ricken also revealed that the club will take measures to avoid similar situations from happening again: "In the future, we will strictly control the access rights around the locker room, and only players, coaches and relevant functional personnel are allowed to enter, so that there will be no need to respond to such news again. However, everything has been clarified today, this is not a big show."
