Welcome Emre Mor & Sebastian Rode

Funny

Bayern gets all top players from Bvb

Bvb gets the rejected ones from Bayern

Definition of Big Club to show who's the Boss around here... Buyern can do what they want within so called professional manners... They does not tap players or doing illegally on many business they did, just secure and manipulate politically moved to strengthen the squad and/or weakened the rivals. To prove foundation and mentally strong enough to compete with all other Europe Giant out there, meanwhile other clubs perhaps still stuck with domestic sentiment and local pride. Based on individual perception to see this as Big club bully the small club not rather than story of "Kulub Kechil buli Kulub Besar... "


Meanwhile as for new signing still subject to Tuchel plan and player to deliver. Unproven? yes... later signing mostly more technical players to groom with but definitely need the traits of stronghold to absorb and contain the opponent before 3 - 4 technical players do their attacking moves. Rode can see his slot as DM or Anchor as centre-defense might be vulnerable since not sure they still can be reliable and capable to be as ball-playing defender like Hummels. Nobody expect Wiegl really shines and mostly involve in stopping, sweeping and build-up play role in the middle on his first remarkable season with Dortmund (... and yet Bayern have an interest as well). This department quite important for Rode to partner or dictate the stability to ensure the depth of choices beside Castro as another good CM for the squad.

i hope one day one rich owner buy BVB and challenge Bayern directly

it is frustrating to see BVB keep on rebuilding due to key players sold/left on free transfer esp to Bayern

Believe me.. many might interest to eye on this club even *Cough TMJ Cough* but must deal with mutual respect with local strong expectation and sentiment similar like some other main clubs in Europe. We'll see if Germany did it in Euro, follows by another breakthrough by Bundesliga clubs in UCL/Europa with marketing closing the gap to that 2 most watchable Football league in the world. Achievable by hoping to maintain the domestic value whether thru great ventures of Sugar Daddy and clubs consortium or total ownership but keeping as many figures of club around without much interference to culture expectations.

Really unfortunate for BVB, groom a lot of young talent and got "betrayed" by them.
by not renewing their contract to push out their move to bayern/ other teams.

that's how Bayern dominate ba
i would say Dortmund is pretty damn steady despite the sale cause we're always #2

Hummels: I left Dortmund for Bayern to win Champions League


Gotze has made zero progress at Bayern - Netzer

Both stories tell ONE thing = Bayern stay top by prying away their opponents top players, they didn't strengthen their squad, they just weaken their opponents squad just enough to stay #1.

Gotze should move on, as for Hummels - best of luck

Hummels should win the champions league with Dortmund when they lost to Bayern previously. Not abandon his teammates and join rival.

Hummels already through and through from the critical time of rescuing the club generally while joining last time together with rebuilding process. That’s motivate to thrive all his might toward being one of the best defender surrounding with the changes of team mate for years. Even some of them really flourished well before goes to other clubs but the belief still there until series of key players gone to make it such annual concerns to deal with. Anyone in centre stage of mind also have to admit this disease will not promise anything in near time as his prime also going to be diminished with the age. Good luck to him anyway, near missed once does not mean you are not going to miss for the attempts on next few chances/editions though… but you’ll be missed alright then…


Moving forward, Andre Schurrle in imminent stage to join the club as BvB have to admit the depth of the squad really important for next season besides grooming the talents the hunger from experienced side to juggle the expectation and build up the right chemistry toward consistent result is something worth to venture with. No idea on the return of Prodigal Son, one thing for sure Reus will not fully fit for next first half of the season. Hopefully his return to training next month or September will boost the morale and expecting whoever Mor (raw newbie), Dembele (prospect), Pulisic / Passlack (promising), Schurrle ( Tuchel to unleash his true gem) or even if the homecoming materialised could able to perform well for all competition.


Suddenly squad getting bigger but sceptically concerned on total balance as knowing in Bundesliga you cannot stick with certain style of plays or stagnant tactics as technically opponent might able to find the antidote and counter measure the weakness somewhere. Previous season have to admit everything clicked together but other rivals bit dropped nothing similar like 2014/15 as other teams performed quite well and as usual the consistencies are the focal points to keep pressure the Champion.

he should never leave dortmund at first place...

career & money wise, everyone will do the same.

More than 1,000 fans welcomed the team in Shanghai.

Convincing performance. Great signings. (Dembélé, Mor, Rode)

















Welcome André Schürrle

The depth of selection quite healthy right now and chemistry build-up among team play quite enjoyable to watch overall. Earlier Leipzig surprisingly won last minute after absorb all pressure from (basically) the best line-up Thomas Tuchel can offer that day. Realized on upcoming busy fixtures he made proper rotation before dealing with more challenging opponents for final weeks of September.


Starting the season with wondering how he going to accommodate the quality of Euro winner Guerreiro to compete position with the Captain (Schmelzer) at left back. Well both playing quite well and compliment each other with option to put Guerreiro to the middle with his composure and vision able to balance the attack tremendously. The result of last 3 matches with 17 goals by 12 different scorer really something to ponder upon.


Well the real test are around the corner even last contest at Wolfsburg by 5 goals with good shares among the players all about accuracy with no off target from team effort. Wolfsburg lead by (respectable) ex-player Kuba as the captain and the presence of Mario Gomez as well Draxler just unlucky with many wasteful chances. Dortmund just manage taking advantage with nice thru-pass between their high line defense and good movement of teenage winger (Dembele & Pulisic).


4-1-4-1 formation working fine right now with last few matches but wondering what strategy to face Real Madrid next week. Also worries on Bartra recent injury might allow Tuchel to consider another defensive midfielder to pair with Wiegl and to see the in-form Gonzalo Castro or Goetze to support the attacking force.

What a goal by Schürrle.

BVB - Real 2:2


BVB is playing much better than Real

Managed to watch only first half really good game too bad dozed off during interval. Will watch remaining minutes tonight. Seems like this season got many impact players. So many chances and exciting moment just missed end product .Dembele need to improvise his decisive finishing touch. The Champion maintain for being effective as experience guide them to deliver the result until the super sub deliver his charm to deny Real Madrid to get first Champion League match win at Dortmund ground.

Great Der Klassiker win... Huge goal with delicate touch by Auba... and Gotze nutmegged Hummel too...

...and relatively new club RB Leipzig in seven (years old) heaven right now. Last time thought of luck and good morale forms make them good team beat Dortmund early season's fixture, well they excel and no turning back afterward. Still long way to go and quite fascinating season so far...
