Dortmund is one of the best clubs in the Bundesliga and have won an impressive eight league titles, three German Cups and record German Super cups. The BVB won the German double last year.
The Borussians have come a long way since being on the verge of bankruptcy in 2005 and borrowing money from Bayern Munich to stay afloat. Four years back the club was almost relegated and came 13th, their poorest standing
since the 1990s.
The appointment of Jurgen Klopp changed their fortunes and transformed them to a whole another level. They finished sixth and fifth in his first two seasons respectively, and now they are looking to win a hat-trick of titles. In
the 2010-11 season, they overtook the league under the noses of Bayer Leverkusen in the latter stages of the campaign.
Last year, the side outplayed the Bavarians by a clear margin beating them twice in the league before thrashing the Allianz Arena outfit 5-2 in the DFB-Pokal final with the help of a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 hat-trick. The BVB have won
the last five meetings with Die Roten team and amassed a goal difference of 55 on their way to win the Bundesliga title.
Bayern are set to overtake the Westfalenstadion outfit as they have brought in Matthias Sammer and have signed top class players most notably, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Pizarro-c9324 and Mario Mandzukic to mount a title challenge.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Franck Ribery have also resolved their bust-up of last season.
On the other hand, the Black Yellows have lost their creative genius, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 from Borussia Monchengladbach and will have their star player, Mario Gotze
back in the starting line-up after the midfielder missed the most part of last season through injury.
The German club seems to be stabilised now with sporting director, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-Barrios-c22533, having only signed one able
replacement in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international, Reus.
In order to defend the league championship, the Signal Iduna Park side, will have to keep their bright talents from leaving the club for bigger and better European clubs. The significance of keeping http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Kehl-c32732 and Kevin Grosskreutz at the club is very important if they want to dominate the Bundesliga for years to come.
The tactician is facing an unfamiliar situation this time around because his players are being tracked following their stellar performances for the German double winning side and the 45 year-old cannot compete with the big spending
clubs such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
Furthermore, Dortmund will have to change the selling club image if they want to overshadow Bayern’s dominance in Bundesliga. The club needs to think long term and make a future strategy for years to come. They should aim to go
for the trophy hunt and overhaul FC Hollywood’s 22 league titles.
Die Schwarzgelben have the winning mentality instilled in them by their boss who has created a great atmosphere inside the club. The development of the youth academies has also benefitted them and so many players have come through
the youth ranks.
Finally, Bettor.com has the opinion that Dortmund will face a tough task to continue winning trophies at the expense of their rivals. Therefore, Bayern Munich will return to winning ways with at least getting back the Bundesliga
title following defeat at three fronts last season.
