Special measures: how BVB's new signings can hit the ground running | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund signed several players this summer. Above all, young ones. Konstantinos Karetsas, Joane Gadou, and Kaua Prates are all expected to gain experience and take on responsibility fairly early.

They are being thrown in at the deep end right away. That is due in no small part to the current situation in the squad. But Dortmund are not doing this without reason or without a plan. Because there is one behind it.

The aim is to give the young new signings the feeling from the very beginning that the club is counting on them. That emerges from a report by Sport BILD. And BVB are doing even more to improve their integration.

How BVB are helping the new players

Karetsas, for example, is being given a lot of encouragement straight away. The Greek is already expected to be a regular starter at the beginning of the season. And internally, he is also supposed to be forgiven for mistakes if he takes too many risks at times. That is good; it is exactly the path you have to take to guide a young player and help him mature.

In addition, Dortmund are placing a lot of emphasis on family ties. Kaua Prates, for example, who arrived from Brazil, was able to bring close members of his family with him straight away, and an apartment was also rented for them. So he can remain in a familiar family environment while his integration on the pitch is taking place. That can be an advantage.

Gadou, for example, was taken under the wing right away by the French-speaking players such as Serhou Guirassy. The centre-back, who is expected to take on an important role immediately in the absence of the injured Nico Schlotterbeck, is therefore being integrated more quickly and effectively. These are all measures designed to help. And to do so quickly.

The strategy is not a bad one; Dortmund have clearly given it some thought. And if Said El Mala now arrives as well, then the new season can really get underway.
