Yan Couto - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Attempts to spark attack Couto generated two crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim. He was injured and subbed out in the 86th minute.

Impact Couto was seemingly one of the only players for Borussia Dortmund who showed any real attacking intent in their draw against Hoffenheim. In 85 minutes played, the Brazilian right back completed one dribble, made four passes into the final third, and completed three of his five long ball passes. He was solid defensively as well, winning two of his four tackles and making two interceptions. Hopefully Couto's threat in the final third will translate into a goal and/or assist when Dortmund visit Wolfsburg on Sunday.

Sends in five crosses Couto had one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Betis.
