Jan Cootto: I didn t play much in Dortmund s first season, and Kovac gave me a chance after he arrived

Dortmund defender Jan Cootto said in an interview with the team's official website that coach Kovac has given players more opportunities.

Regarding the performance last season, Jan Cootto said: "Sometimes life is not as you wish. Sometimes you have to go through a trough, there is no game to play, and feel sad and angry when you go home. This situation has been with me almost always. I want to play and want to help the team, but I was not ready at the time. Only I know what I have been going through here. Many people are skeptical of my football ability, and I am here to prove that I am a very good player and can help the team to the greatest extent."

"Now Kovac has brought me new opportunities and I feel very prepared. I have become more proactive and do my best for every ball. I am training hard, and I believe the coach is more satisfied with me now. I want to tell the fans that I want to make history here, play great games, and make them happy with my football."
