Bundesliga - The story of Borussia Dortmund
The German first division, Bundesliga has been a one sided affair throughout the current season. Borussia Dortmund has secured an unbeatable lead on the points table, leaving every team in the list thinking it’s impossible to stop the Borussians from taking
the title this season. The Borussia young guns are too good for the stars of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
Bayern Leverkusen, the 2nd place Bundesliga outfit faces an 11-point deficit behind the leaders and has given up the hope to compete for the first place. According to the Werkself star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270, the title race is over for his team, as
well as everyone else. He gave his opinion after the Borussians steamrolled his team at Ballack’s very own home ground; the final score read 3-1. Dortmund are on their way to the first league title since the year 2002.
The Borussian Coach, Jurgen Klopp has selected many youngsters for his side, and helped them in claiming a place in Die Mannschaft. Players like Mario Goetze, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767, Marcel Schmelzer and Kevin Grosskreutz made their debuts for Germany before the World
Cup, and Germany Coach Joachim Loew was impressed by the emerging talent.
Loew said, "Dortmund have a young, success-hungry team with a good team spirit. Above all others, the way the Dortmund team plays has really impressed me. After their win in Leverkusen, they have the best chance of winning the German title."
Reigning Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich are also on a pointless pursuit of retaining the title, but Klopp doesn’t underestimate the competition and referring to the Bavarian giants said, "If Bayern had our lead, it would probably all be over. Nevertheless,
we know that a lot can still happen and we have to just stay on our path."
Even though Klopp is not relaxing until the title comes to the Borussians, points table suggests the lead to be good enough for the win. Dortmund have played 19 games so far this season and have won 15. The defence has conceded only 12 goals, and has a goal
difference of 31. The Bundesliga outfit have lost only on 2 occasions; an upset defeat of 0-1 to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eintracht-Frankfurt-c38994 in the first game after winter break, and a home loss to Leverkusen on match day one.
The Borussians are reckoned to be the future stars for Germany. Klopp has put his faith in many http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, are
the mentionable names that emerged from the youth team.
Klopp joined the Black Yellows in 2008 from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neven-Subotic-c27632, and the highly rated winger Grosskreutz, who was spotted by the coach playing for a second division team. The Japanese attacking midfielder,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 and the Paraguayan striker, Luca Barrios were recently acquired and the two have formed arguably the most lethal attacking combination in the league.
Hummels was purchased from Bayern Munich in 2004, and formed a strong partnership alongside Subotic in the defensive lines. Klopp has been very economical, whereas, Hummels was the most expensive purchase so far amounting to 4.2 million Euros. This clearly
reflected that the coach had his faith in the new crop and he was ready to take his chances with the youngsters.
Borussia Dortmund is full of young blood, capable of matching the brilliance of the league’s giants. The current season statistics speak for themselves, and the Bundesliga title is going to the boys in the Black and Yellow shirts – there’s no question about
that.
