BVB sign Yan Couto

Borussia Dortmund have strengthened their squad with the Brazilian full-back Yan Couto (22). BVB and Couto’s former club Manchester City have agreed on a loan until 30 June 2025. In the event that certain sporting criteria are fulfilled in the coming season, all parties have also agreed on a permanent transfer following the loan period.

Couto, who made his debut for Brazil in October 2023 and has played 4 games for his country, spent the last two seasons on loan at La Liga side Girona. He established himself as one of the best full-backs in Spain (59 La Liga games, 2 goals, 12 assists) as his club finished a surprising third in the 2023/24 season.

The 22-year-old travelled from Sao Paulo to Zurich on Friday and underwent a medical in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, where Borussia Dortmund are currently having their summer training camp. Couto will wear number 2 for BVB, and he trains with his new teammates for the first time today.

Lars Ricken, Borussia Dortmund Managing Director for Sport, said: “Yan Couto was on our radar even before he won the U17 World Cup with Brazil in 2019. He has the potential to be a very special player, with outstanding pace, technique and creativity – he’s the kind of player fans come to watch. He’s very young with a lot still to learn, but we’re confident that he can follow in the footsteps of special Brazilian players like Júlio César, Dedé and Márcio Amoroso at Dortmund.”

Sebastian Kehl, Borussia Dortmund Sporting Director, said: “Yan Couto is a very exciting player. He gets up and down the wing, and he combines exceptional energy with intensity, technical finesse and dribbling skills. Yan is versatile, he loves 1-v-1s, he can hit accurate crosses and he’s very attack-minded. His development in Spain was remarkable, and yet he has lots of potential to go even further, which makes him exactly what we wanted for this position. We’re delighted that we were able to convince him to be part of our journey.”

“For me it’s a dream come true. Borussia Dortmund is a special club. Every child in Brazil knows how great this club is, knows the fans, and is fascinated by the Yellow Wall”, said Yan Couto. He went on to say: “I can’t wait to wear the BVB shirt for the first time and experience the power and emotions in this brilliant stadium.”

Everything went like clockwork in that short spell and the 3-0 scoreline at half-time flattered Wolfsburg. However, the balance of power shifted after the restart.

But the 10 men of Borussia battled passionately to see their lead over the line.<\/p>\nThe scenario:<\/b>   \nWolfsburg had picked up only eight points on home turf (five fewer than at the same stage of last season), while Dortmund had lost four of their six away matches this season and were on an eight-match winless streak on the road overall. The Black & Yellows had won 10 of their previous 12 Bundesliga meetings with Wolfsburg and had scored more than twice as many goals (116) as VfL (57) across their 54 matches (33 victories, 11 draws and 10 defeats).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/22/bl-spielbericht/53_Brandt.jpg\" data-assetref=\"53_Brandt-1734888546009\"><\/p>\nPersonnel matters:  \n <\/b>There were two changes compared to the match against Hoffenheim a week ago: Julian Brandt and Donyell Malen started in place of Yan Couto and Giovanni Reyna, who scored the only Dortmund goal in that game against TSG. Incidentally, it was the same line-up that started the DFB-Pokal tie on 29 October, when BVB succumbed to a 1-0 defeat after 120 minutes. Brandt returned to the fold after missing four competitive matches \u2013 none of which Borussia won. The absentee list included the injured Marcel Sabitzer as well as Niklas Süle, Julian Ryerson and Kjell Wätjen, who played for the U23s on Saturday.<\/p>\nTactics:  \n <\/b>BVB seamlessly transitioned between 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1 formations. Beier lined up to the right of Brandt in the middle of the attacking midfield quartet, with Nmecha operating behind them in a central role. All-rounder Groß lined up in the right-back position and was joined in the back four by Can, Schlotterbeck and Bensebaini, who took the corners. Off the ball, Beier operated level with Guirassy and BVB then lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Wolfsburg initially took to the pitch in a 3-3-2-2 formation that withdrew deep into their own half, where they lined up in a 5-3-2 (later a 5-4-1) formation, and only pressed when their opponents crossed the halfway line. Gittens was mostly marked by two opponents: Baku and Fischer.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/22/bl-spielbericht/53_Wolfsburg_Malen_Beier2.jpg\" data-assetref=\"53_Wolfsburg_Malen_Beier2-1734888572064\"><\/p>\nThe match & analysis: \n <\/b>The courageous line-up, which included five attacking players (Wolfsburg had three), was immediately reflected in the balance of play. After only 80 seconds, Brandt had a good shooting opportunity on the left of the six-yard box but fired over the frame of the goal. He then attempted a shot on the turn from a position level with the penalty spot on the quarter-hour mark. Borussia looked determined, won 65% of the challenges in the opening stages, made the play (64% possession) and were met by a solid defence, but covered themselves well going forward so that VfL did not have a free route to goal after regaining the ball.<\/p>\nAfter build-up work from Brandt and Gittens, Guirassy was played into the box in the 18th minute and had a great chance to make it 1-0 but leaned backwards and spurned a big chance. That was the only flaw: None of the first four shots (Wolfsburg did not have any) in the first 20 minutes were on target. But the first shot that was on target did find the back of the net....<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/22/bl-spielbericht/53_Wolfsburg_Malen_Beier.jpg\" data-assetref=\"53_Wolfsburg_Malen_Beier-1734888589796\"><\/p>\nVavro stepped on Brandt's calf during a sprint in the box. Referee Jöllenbeck could have pointed to the spot but ultimately opted for a corner-kick, which Bensebaini delivered to the completely unmarked Malen, who slotted the ball over the line in the six-yard box (25). Beier upped the lead to 2-0 193 seconds later. Brandt spotted the opening, Beier ran perfectly into the space and curled the ball in off the inside of the upright with the outside of his right boot from a centre-left position. Things soon got even better: Can and Malen set Beier in motion down the right flank and he cut the ball back to Brandt, who fired a low shot home from 15 metres out to make it 3-0 (30). In view of the shot count of 7-0 \u2013 the final three found the net \u2013 the scoreline was completely deserved. Svanberg registered Wolfsburg's first effort via a header in the 34th minute but Kobel saved it.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/22/bl-spielbericht/53_Wolfsburg_Kobel.jpg\" data-assetref=\"53_Wolfsburg_Kobel-1734888623139\"><\/p>\nThe home team switched to a back four for the second half (4-3-3) and brought on two attack-minded players in Tiago Tomas and Lukas Nmecha. Felix Nmecha's brother looked set to pull a goal back four minutes after the restart and was clean through on Kobel, but he made a brilliant save to turn it behind for a corner. BVB were too open at the back in this phase. Amoura also had a good opportunity (53). Vavra eventually made it 3-1, facing no opposition whatsoever as he headed home a corner-kick (58).<\/p>\nIt was a completely different game in this phase and Borussia had to take care to ensure the "Wolves" did not completely swing the momentum in their favour. Groß was ever so slightly late with his attempted clearance as Nmecha broke through and received his marching orders (62). Anton lined up in his stead in the back four, with Malen making way. At the other end, Schlotterbeck was upended in the penalty area following a corner. The decision not to award a penalty for the incident was a very generous interpretation of the rules (65)...<\/p>\nThe team now dug their heels in in a match that they had dominated for 45 minutes. Operating in a 5-3-1 formation, they threw themselves into every challenge. Having been played in by Brandt, Gittens forced VfL goalie Grabara into a save (69). Couto replaced the exhausted Beier (75). BVB were pinned back deep into their own half but did not allow VfL any chances, even if the hosts had turned the shot count in their favour by the 84th minute (11-10). There were eight minutes of stoppage time. But the 10 Black & Yellows saw them through as well.<\/p>\nOutlook:  \n <\/b>BVB have the shortest winter break of any club, with their campaign already resuming in 19 days.

This was a meeting between two of the most in-form teams. BVB were one of the best teams in the division on home turf, while Saarbrücken were one of the top three away teams and also boasted the best defensive record in the 3. Liga. While Saarbrücken are battling for promotion, Borussia have pulled away from the lower echelons of the table in recent weeks.<\/p>\nPersonnel matters:<\/b> Yannik Lührs was brought in from the first-team squad and drafted into the heart of defence. That resulted in Franz Roggow moving into midfield and replacing Felix Paschke. Kjell Wätjen started in place of the suspended Michael Eberwein. Babis Drakas replaced Cole Campbell, who has travelled to Wolfsburg for the first team's game on Sunday, in the starting XI. Only two players in the BVB squad were over 23 years of age.<\/p>\nThe match & analysis: <\/b>A great crowd of 4,879 spectators at Stadion Rote Erde \u2013 1,481 of whom were visitors from Saarland \u2013 bore witness to a dogged encounter. The home team repeatedly tried to play long balls to the quick wingers Julian Hettwer and Babis Drakas. Borussia registered their first shot at goal through Jordi Paulina in the 16th minute after launching such a counter-attack following a Saarbrücken corner-kick. Things got really dangerous for Phillip Menzel in goal for the visitors two minutes later following a Kjell Wätjen free-kick. A ball from a deep position landed on the head of Saarbrücken's Philip Fahrner, who played the ball against the woodwork of his own goal.<\/p>\nBorussia were unlucky in the 28th minute of the match when the referee overlooked an alleged FCS handball in the box and did not award a penalty to the home team. But after making several protests, the Black & Yellows did not let themselves be knocked off their stride and got their next shot away via Antonio Foti only a short while later \u2013 though it was too central and at Menzel.<\/p>\nSaarbrücken were almost toothless, in part because BVB defended really well and kept the ball away from their own goal. The already raucous crowd groaned in the 40th minute when Julian Hettwer flicked the ball goalbound at the near post with his back to goal following a corner-kick and struck the woodwork.<\/p>\nThe second period was devoid of any attacking action for a long time. Like in the first half, the ball was passed around in midfield for the most part. Menzel, who had been strong up to that point, attempted a direct duel with BVB striker Jordi Paulina after a back-pass in the 62nd minute. However, the Dutchman did not get the decisive contact on the ball to punish the goalkeeper's risk-taking..<\/p>\nJulian Hettwer had to be substituted with back problems in the 82nd minute and missed his team's offensive in the closing stages. In stoppage time, a free-kick cross from Baran Mogultay flew into the penalty area. Saarbrücken's Menzel misjudged the ball and the visitors joined forces to stop themselves from going behind. Substitute Justin Butler tested the goalkeeper once again a minute later but it remained goalless at 0-0 until the final whistle.<\/p>\nCoach Jan Zimmermann:<\/b> "We did not give much away but didn't have many chances ourselves at the same time. Nonetheless, we could've definitely used one of the few chances we had. But today we kept a clean sheet at the back and we'll see that as a positive development. We can look back positively on the first half-season. The development and the way we play football are very positive and we can go into the break and the second half-season with a good feeling."<\/p>\nFranz Roggow:<\/b> "We would've taken the point prior to the game. We had the better chances in the end; Saarbrücken couldn't have complained if they had lost here today. Two months ago we would've lost a game in which we were better but did not score. Now we're defending well and keeping a clean sheet at the back. We'll set ourselves this tally of 26 points as a goal for the second half- season."<\/p>\nOutlook:<\/b> The Dortmund reserves now have a break from competitive matches until 18 January.
