The holidays look set to be hot for Borussia Dortmund. If the residents of Signal Iduna Park, runners-up to Bayern in the Bundesliga, pocketed three new points against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday evening, it is the attitude of a certain Karim Adeyemi who is making the headlines in the German newspapers at the start of the week. Replaced in the 60th minute of play, the German international with 11 caps (1 goal) completely spun. Already annoyed on the pitch, the Munich native wanted to go directly to the locker room before being detained by his sports director, Sebastian Kehl.
The replacement of discord
“The replacement was justified, Karim did not play well. That’s not the kind of reaction a coach wants to see, no one wants to see that. This is unacceptable and Karim knows it too. This is why he will be financially sanctioned”promised the German leader immediately, exasperated by the behavior of number 27 of the BvB. Asked about this virile exchange, Niko Kovač justified his decision. He wasn’t good in the first half. I could have made the change at the break, but I didn’t want to. It was not his day, the change was justified, said the former Monaco coach.
Unfortunately for the Yellow and Black, the story did not end there since the wife of the former Salzburg player also decided to get involved. “Can it stay like this now?” I’m going crazy… I’m happy that Dortmund wins, with or without Karim. But please brother, how can you send Karim to the bench? »indicated rapper Loredana in an Instagram story. A post which obviously did not go unnoticed across the Rhine and which risks placing the 1.80 m left-hander in an even more critical situation.
An attitude that does not pass…
Announced about departure in recent weeks – Bild recently alleged that the German could leave Dortmund for his wife, because the latter would like to live in a large European city – Adeyemi finds himself, in the meantime, under fire from criticism. “In England, the fine is two weeks’ salary. I understand why Kehl is so fed up with him. Every week, or almost, he says anything. And he’s really not that good. If he scored 25 goals or more, I would say: ‘Do what you want.’ But he’s just not that good.”confided, in this regard, the former Liverpool player Dietmar Hamann on sky.
“This is unacceptable. If this happens again in the second half of the season, Dortmund will have no choice but to part ways with Adeyemi. Sebastian Kehl handled the situation perfectly. He caught him and gave him a clear warning.”outbid Stefan Effenberg, another ex-Maanschaft player. You will have understood, Karim Adeyemi, author of 6 goals and 5 assists in 27 matches in all competitions since the start of the season, never ceases to exasperate. It now remains to be seen whether or not Borussia Dortmund will push him out this winter as his contract currently runs until June 2027.
