Things will get better for you eventually just get the selling mentality out of your club and act like a European powerhouse and your good to go cuz you have all the tools ... Good luck from a Barça Fan ❤️🖤
Dortmund has been always denying that there is a need for signing defenders. I believe they are one of the clubs if not the only one who waits for a players for years to start playing well. The board has been very stubborn about the defense and gk topic for years, only this summer they decided to improve the keeper bc Burki was no longer a defendable public issue for many people.
tbh signing schlotterberg in summer would solve a lot, Schlotterberg and akanji 1st choice and Zagadou and Hummels backup with the prospect of coulibaly (if u say his name like that) to grow in their shadows
In my opinion, Dortmund need a new Sebastian Kehl. A defensive midfielder, who is a proper fighter, willing to give and leave everything on the pitch for his club. The most important thing is a proper captain. Real was strong because of Ramos, Liverpool has Henderson - Dortmund needs a leader on the pitch. Ever since Kehl left, they were lacking this aspect. Unless they find and keep a player like that, they won't win the Bundesliga.
You’re right. Kehl was an amazing personality and this kind of player can be the backbone of a team. In comparison Reus is a joke of a captain. I can’t respect him whenever he gives Post game interviews. Always complaining about stuff he doesn’t have influence on like the ref, the condition of the field and so on. On the other side Müller is pretty much always either pissed or talks very clearly on what they did wrong and want to improve. That‘s the difference, one has a growth mindset, the other has a fixed mindset like they did all the could and if it isn’t enough the world was against them. You can’t win the league that way
@@jackbartzen9133 well pretty Reus is a joke of a leader for a team that wants to win Titles no matter what. He‘s one of the most tragically romantic players in recent history I think. He picked Dortmund over Bayern because he played there in his youth and ended up not winning anything (2 DFB Pokals and 3 Supercups is nothing tbh), never played a meaningful team for the national team, and even skipped the Euros 2021 this year for literally no reason. Reus is really one of the most talented players who didn’t affect history like at all. Hummels was amazing as a player, but Bayern knew when he was finished and let him go. As a Leader he was nice to have but not a player you can’t be without like Müller, Kimmich, Lewa, Neuer, etc. otherwise Bayern wouldn’t have let him go. I feel like Dortmund if fine with getting nice youngsters, playing enjoyable football but also losing whenever it gets really serious, especially if you can blame some outside influences like the ref or the condition of the pitch. I know this was kinda harsh, but I’d love to hear the opinion of a Dortmund supporter, especially one who watches them on a weekly basis, because I don’t and that’s what I think about them
They need Dorsch and bring back Terzic and stop planning the squad based around profit but plan the squad to be a strong Dortmund squad aimed at winning.
It seems to me as well that BVB was just about to turn the page on the selling club business model and put the black cloud of the Financial Crisis behind them. And then the pandemic happened. And when a key revenue stream is an 83,000 seat facility always being full, that can't help but sting. Now they haven't had to sell players to make the books work. But I do think it put the kibosh on any huge signings this year. And also on any hopes of keeping Haaland.
Dortmund don't like buying good defenders because they can't flip them for as much money as they would a young shiny new attacker And it should be a huge point of concern when players don't want to rehab their injuries at the club, they'd prefer to go to 3rd party help. They're cutting costs to save money in the wrong areas and aren't creating a competent environment to ultimately compete
The problem is a similar one to most laliga, Ligue one, and Serie A teams. They don't have the financial backing that allows for them to keep players long term that prem teams have, but because they have to keep rotating the squad, we struggle to find consistency. This means we cant win trophies, can't afford or persuade players to stay and repeat the cycle. Klopp managed to get the best out of a young squad from nowhere, and unless that happens again, or we find a magical new source of revenue, it's going to continue like this for a while.
Dortmund are more than rich enough they spend 40 mill on mutiple players a window its there inconsistency and constant changing of coaches since klopp left
Who was our last good academy player?? We must focus developing talent from within rather than being a stepping stone for other young players who stay for a maximum of 3-4 years. We need players who play for the badge from our youth ranks.
As a Dortmund fan that looks long-term, Dortmund’s future just 15 years ago, was that ok bankruptcy. We have created a system that works. I’d like to win more, and we make plenty of mistakes of course, but our success sometimes is dependent on Bayern Munich, who are the best club in the world IMO. If we win the Europa league, and the cup, it won’t be that bad. Rose next year needs to be at a Bayern level.
The lack of reinvestment could be due to Dortmunds finances not being good, 20 years ago they were bankrupt and don't have the funding of Premier League teams and then there's also COVID. We need to make some big transfers (especially in the defense) if we want to break the Bayern monopoly
I mean during the summer before the 19/20 season we spent +100M without selling big names. COVID f*** us and we had really bad luck with those signings neither of them have shown to be a massive improvement.
@@fernandosilva9926 But you also sold players for 100+ mil. I think Brandt has underperformed, but Hazard was alright. He did well during his first season. Dortmund has little depth outside of their gks.
Before Klopp Dortmund was a mid table team smaller then Stuttgart or Werder they turn into a contenders in the league and regular CL competator theyve made amazing progress.So finishing second to Bayern is not bad Bayern are just to good .
Dortmund weren't struggling under Favre. Favre still has the second highest ppg after Tuchel. He would have the highest ppg if Hummels and Reus didn't sabotage Favre so they can finally play their high press which at least Hummels can't even play. Favre was freaking great!
Favre almost won the title without Haaland and broke the scoring record of BVB, but then the managment thought it would be a gread idea to buy Hummels, despite the fact Favre called him overrated, and then it went downhill pretty fast. Hummels demanded to play a high intense press which he can't even play due to his slowness. So biggest problem was and is that the club rather listens to Hummels/Reus(players) than to it's coaches.
As a schalke fan i get sick of people outside of germany always seem to give dortmund to much credit by saying bayern buy the league (theres some truth to that) but dortmund do the same as bayern they weaken teams around them which as a factor makes bayerns title fight easier recently they stole Kobel from stuttgart Brandt from Leverkusen Dahoud and Hazard from gladbach diallo from mainz and they'll be more plus they picked off gladbachs coach who had them in a title fight 2 seasons before they took him i hope the narrative toward dortmund starts to change cus they are not as pro academy as rhey seem (since they buy from abroad and in Germany instead of actually promoting their own youth)
I’d say it’s because we have sort of become complacent when it comes to the defence. We NEVER spend anything on defence (also another clean sheet for you and Josh in Red Bull Chennai, the third straight one)
@@nscrenrique Meunier has been decent but I think we really need Morey. Not to mention, we were linked with St Juste for like the whole window but we ended up getting a 2nd choice CB from Wolfsburg on loan.
Dortmund's business model is not to "make money buy winning trophies" their business model is "make money buy selling players" and for that they need to play attractive attacking football since forwards are worth more than defenders. I dont think they are falling short in anyway... They are doing exactly what they are supposed to. Any titles are a bonus for dortmund.
Also, Ajax says "Hi". They develop players from a good variety of positions, so they're able to have a quality, balanced team, and be able to sell a good amount of them to teams with different wants and needs.
Amazing how the things have changed so much from 2012. Everyone in Germany laughed at 2nd place Bayern in every competition. Dortmund could have continued their success but they've become this team that is fine with just selling young players. There is no winning mentality that I can see in the last few years (yes I'm a Bayern fan). Everyone always says Bayern is bad for the league but as you heard, BVB prefer players from within the Bundesliga (more than Bayern, look at the numbers) and essentially ended Gladbach's season when they announced the mgr signing in season. It doesn't help the league when the #2 is a feeder team. There's no bite to this team, they were de-fanged in the CL final.
True. It's also important, imho, that Bayern are able to always compete with the best teams in the Champions League without having tons of money (compared to Premiere League teams or teams owned by rich oligarchs/oil monopolists).
Because they don't want to win... For years I have been disappointed with the bvb, they have became bayern II, no mistake with bayern's second team, they criticize bayern but buy players from their rivals, Reus; Dahoud, nico schulz and Thorgan hazard(gladbach), brandt(leverkusen) and snapped haaland and now adeyemi before they move to leipzig(who plays for a CL spot every season), they have done the same as bayern, and to make it worse they lend money from bayer in the beginning of he 2000's, 2 million every month to pay wages and day to day expenses, I can't imagine gladbach or schalke doing this kind of stuff, this was very disappointing... and bayern loaned the money with no interests, who the f.. loans money without having something in return? Just ask yourself?? And when bayern wanted to offload Mario gotze, a player who was deemed a traitor by bvb fans, and misses the CL league final(against bayern), with a suspicious injury, and proved to be an overrated and overpaid player, who bought him out of bayern??many Bvb fans even whistled gotze on the pitch. Every board at the current top clubs in Europe are made of money grabber individuals, but when you watch your teams bus explode, and you still want your players to play the game because of the money that is at stake, the bvb showed their true colours, all due respect to Thomas tuchel who was against the decision, this was truly disappointing for me as I once liked borussia dortmund... you never walk alone?? Really?? I admire the support, 81 000 fans every game makes it a million people every dozen home games, and that is AWESOME! but in 81 thousand? In the middle of the one million fans; and the 40 million across Germany(probably made up, but its on the internet) there isn't one single soul capable of creating a true hymn for his team; that they would have to copy it from someone else? I love football chants in a packed stadium, and like many of the chants other teams have, but I wouldn't them at MY club. This is truly disappointing...
I’d say the main reason is because Dortmund’s owners prioritise money and big transfer fee sales rather than keeping those players and investing and trying to win trophies and going head to head with Bayern
We also have a lack of young talanted players in Germany. What was the last player from the BvB academy to permanently make it to the first team as a regular player?
Dortmund feels similar to Salzburg in terms of having to reform every season or two. Still, both continue to perform nonetheless. I really hope that Dortmund and the others can manage to dethrone Bayern (for entertainment purposes). Oh yeah… P.S.: leave your hands off of Adeyemi, we still need him 😅🙏
Salzburg stomps the weak ass Austrian league even after selling half of their starters. But Salzburg has one advantage: They have their fixed playing style and the infrastructure to bring in players that fit. If their 10+ million € signing flops, it doesn't matter. If Dortmund signs a player for like 40-50 mil and he flops, it is a different story.
Football is a business, clubs only care about money, Dortmund makes money by signing young attacking players and raising their value by playing attacking football and then selling them. This is their plan, other clubs want to make money by winning trophies and having a huge fanbase, Dortmund has another model, if fans don't like then they can change team, because in this world money is the only important thing.

"[...]that's actually an interesting avenue to go down[...]...most definitely Canadian. Germans and Americans walk down roads, the French and Canadian fancy avenues...;)
Dortmund always had problems with the defense since Tuchel left. Hummels isn't the player he was during his 1st stint, Zagadou is always injured, Meunier and Schultz are disaster class signings. Even they struggled finding the right manager to end the Bayern dominance since Klopp left. Bar Tuchel, Bosz and Stoger were horrible appointments. Favre will go down as the manager who threw away the Bundesliga title to Bayern when Bayern had a terrible manager in Niko Kovac. Last season he fell apart and got sacked. Tezic got Dortmund back on track but got replaced by Rose. Now Rose is having the same problems he inherited from the Bosz days and the board didn't do much to solve the problem. Unless Dortmund can fix the problems and keep hold of their star players then expect Bayern to dominate the Bundesliga for a long time.
A problem with their manager signings is the shadow Klopp has cast that seems to cloud every appointment. They keep going for the manager they think will be the next Klopp rather than trying to find the manager who can fix the problems with the squad. Take the appointment of Rose. You can see why they picked him. His high pressing style was fun to watch and it brought a fair measure of success to Gladbach but it also masked just how vulnerable they were defensively. He is not the manager you want to bring on to a team that already has defensive issues. But all they saw was a potential successor to Klopp. In my opinion, Oliver Glasner would have been a much more shrewd signing. He took Wolfsburg to a fourth placed finish last season, same as Rose did with Gladbach a season before, and he did it with a weaker squad. He then signed on to a Frankfurt side that had just lost Andre Silva (27 goals last season), saw Luka Jovic return to Madrid after a half season loan spell and had been pretty poor defensively. It seemed like a team destined to fall off from their last season high. Instead, after a rough start he brought the team much needed defensive stability and right now they're flying. Yes, they've yet to score more than 3 goals in a game but they also aren't shipping 4 or 5 the way they did during Hütter's time. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg have completely crashed and burned after he left despite all their squad strengthening over the summer, proving just how much of their success was owed to Glasner. But of course because his style wasn't flashy enough so he was never going to get the Dortmund gig.
It might take a long time.. but things change. A couple of years ago nobody could imagine Juve & Barca being where they are now.. and Man Utd & Lyon before them. Though Bayern should be good for a while, with all the young players they have.
They always blame Bayern for their problems. The fact is that BVB is a horribly run club, squandering incoming transfer money. It's easy to say "BAYERN BUYS ALL OUR PLAYERS", which isn't true. Lewandowski came on a free ;) Bayern at least shops out of germany, BVB on the other hand buys up the Bundesliga more so than Bayern. Just look at that lineup.
To be fair, he didn't blame Bayern. I was referring to your average online BVB fan. I think the true BVB fans know better. But I always hear "BVB is my second favorite team", usually from EPL fans who don't watch the Bundesliga. Which gets quite annoying haha their loss I think
One big difference between Bayern & Dortmund: Bayern sacked Kovac and brought Hansi Flick on an interim basis --> he performed well --> Bayern kept him Dortmund sacked Favre and brought Edin Terzic on an interim basis --> he performed well --> Dortmund replaced him And Bayern did that EVEN THOUGH they are a bigger club, have more world-class players (who easily get frustrated when things go wrong) and higher expectations.. Bayern didn't go for the big name but rather for actual coaching ability instead of trying to be risk averse and going for the safe pair of hands.
Bayern is a far easier job it isn't that good a comparison, bringing in a "poor coach" just means only winning the league and getting a CL QF exit. It is actually somewhat smart to not just let an interim take charge anyways, if it blows up then everyone says "it's always stupid to sign an interim" anyways
@@cameron9385 It's not really. The biggest names in coaching have struggled to meet expectations at the club. Pep won everything domestically but noone would say that he's been an ABSOLUTE success, because he did not win the UCL. Ancelotti was unlucky in the UCL (referees scammed him) and also didn't meet expectations. Bayern took the risk and it paid off, Dortmund didn't and they are paying the price for it (short-term).
Bayern's total team wadge bill this season is $90,679,971 higher than Dortmund's. Had they invested some of that into a stronger defense they likely could be pushing for that spot. However, Dortmund has always had the philosophy of growing young talent into huge stars and making massive profit off of them. However they really do not re-invest that money expect in more youth to train up to become another profit revenue. Watch any Dortmund game, an 18 year old gets subbed off for a 17 year old. And both are great! However neither of them will stay for very long and the team as a whole will never grow. That's just my take but I still love them and will always support them.
it’s nice seeing us bring up young players now tho. it’d be cool to get jobe bellingham, but i’m really happy to see that bynoe-gotten is going to get first team experience in the second half of the season, and it’s nice to save some money and hopefully sign a mature, experienced defender OR schlotterbeck who i’d be super happy with despite the young age
Dont follow Dortmund much but it always seems on highlights the defence isnt very good. Why is Hummels still playing??? (he used to be fantastic as a player years ago)... How are the actual youth players coming through?.
plan to compete for the bundesliga title next year: 1. drop big contracts that don’t play a ton or aren’t all that important (can, witsel, and schulz imo need to go) 2. sign a solid defender or two and a strong midfielder (schlotterbeck and zakaria, im good w schlotterbeck since we’re likely going to resign akanji who’s been one of our bright spots) 3. imo, we need to use a 3-back formation, especially when guerreiro and hummels play such a crucial role in our team. i loved the 5-3-2. i’ll wait to see who we sign and how rose develops his 4-2-3-1 tho, that seems like a better way to use guys like reus, gio, and brandt. i was still more of a fan of 3-back formations given BVB’s brand of attacking football 4. get moukoko a loan. he’s potentially a generational talent, but for now, he’s just sitting on the bench for the most part. he needs minutes, and he’s not getting them in this squad. even a loan over the second half of this season would be nice 5. KEEP HAALAND 6.again, pls keep haaland🥺
I disagree on the good signings. They are probably the best in the world at finding and recruiting young talents, but the more experienced and often expensive signings like Schulz, Brandt, Can, Hazard, Meunier are underperforming or just simply not worth it. Additonally, they have so many unreliable players who are inconsistent, injury-prone, error-prone, or get too many red cards, e.g Hummels, Akanji, Meunier, Brand, Can, Dahoud, Reus. Also, Dortmund have not enough quality players. When someone is injured there often is a huge drop of, e.g. Tigges/Moukoko for Haaland, Schulz for Guerrero, Pongracic/Witsel for Hummels/Akanji.. They are unfortunately in the spot where they have to compete against Bayern. Probably the most consistently successful team of the last decade, but it's also a Dortmund team that is imo declining for years now. When Haaland leaves this summer I'm seriously worried about them even consistently getting into the CL. I doubt that teams like Leipzig, Gladbach, or Wolfsburg will fall off next season like this one.
Not since the Tuchel days have we had a defense that was solid, and ever since Auba left they seemed to have been hellbent on throwing money into finding the next Lewy and bolstering our offence at the expense of the defensive line. Dortmund is a great team of individuals, and that is why they can't challenge Bayern. Key young players come in, make a name for themselves for a couple of seasons and are poached. We just don't have time to build the precision and cohesion of Bayern. Once Haarland goes, they'll be after Bellingham. I think that might be why they are eyeing off signing his brother Jobe as well. At least Jude seems to be in it for the love of the game.
i am wondering if I will live to see anyone other than Bayern win the Bundesliga. I could live about 30 more years so I figure there is a small chance I will (assuming the league doesn't relax rules on foreign ownership and some oligarch or oiligarch decides that Freiburg is the place to be.
Adrian, could you do a similar analysis video about Atletico Madrid? A lot of casual viewers still think we park the bus, but in reality our defence is no longer as solid and organised as it used to be. At present, the 2 main defenders (Savić and Gimenez) are both out injured, so playing in a 3-atb we have to play Kondogbia at CB. Thus, we desperately need more depth in defence. Diego Simeone himself is becoming a more divisive topic with each loss or draw against mid-table team. At the start of the season, everyone was unanimously behind him. But now after losing 3 matches in a row for the first time in his managerial career, it's hard to tell if it's simply the players who are out of form or if it's Simeone's tactics that are outdated. At present, I doubt we can seriously challenge for the league title, so I'd be happy with a top 4 finish.
Oh I very much know that. It's frustrating to watch this team have so much world-class talent, yet play like relegation fodder over the past month or so.
Combination of reasons to do with not investing enough in the defence, too many of their Managers post Klopp and Tuchel lacking any real authority and don't have high enough standards especially with all these inconsistent results. While we are on the topic of Managers, constantly hiring the wrong ones post Klopp except Tuchel. Peter Bosz was a always terrible choice regardless of that Europa League Final appearance. Even more so when you look at the fact that he lost the Eredevisie title to Feyenoord who spent peanuts compared to both them and PSV. Honestly it would have made far more sense for Dortmund to bring in Giovanni Von Bronhorst instead whose achievement that season with Feyenoord was pretty comparable to what Klopp did. Lucien Favre is a very good Manager that did truly outstanding work at Borussia Munchenblagbach essentially shaping the consistent top 10, challenging for European spots club they are today from the near relegated side they almost were the season prior to him taking over. He also did very well at Niece too. But the fit simply wasn't there to begin with. So that brings us now to Marco Rose. Maybe a bit harsh, but to me he is just decent Manager at best that came across a very stable club in Borussia Munchenblagbach that has been consistently finishing in the top 10 and challenging for European places for a decade because of the foundations Lucien Favre had laid. So really pretty overrated and again the wrong fit. You will notice I left out two Managers in Peter Stoger and Edin Terzic and that's because I generally don't count interim Managers unless they get the job on a permanent basis like Ole Gunnar Soljkaear.
Fitted pretty well when Favre almost won the title without Haaland and broke the scoring record of BVB, but then the managment thought it would be a gread idea to buy Hummels, despite the fact Favre called him overrated, and then it went downhill pretty fast. Hummels demanded to play a high intense press which he can't even play due to his slowness. So biggest problem was and is that the club rather listens to Hummels than to it's coaches.
I don’t understand why any club in the bundesliga failed to challenged bayern, i always see all teams in bundesliga prioritised money over championship, at least rb , dortmund should not sell there best players, they should build a team which would challenge bayern , they should start acting like a big club , rb and dortmund are capable of becoming a big club in Europe
I still find it amazing that some Germanphiles think the German League is better than the premier league LOL!. One elite team (Bayern) with second best being on par with Spurs (Dortmund). With Bayern signing players with Dortmund
For me it's always been stagnating squad, it's always 2-3 wonderkids and filled with mediocre players. In klopp era the XI was a team of 8-9 wonderkids and the rest is to fill in the spaces. But also we didn't/couldn't convince any good players to come/stay, if we can, we could even shop in elite young players but since they won't stay long term the market won't make sense for us. In addition, not going for the best German players is also problematic.
@@josiahlutchman4913 That's mostly because they had a stupid amount of injuries to many key players for that entire first half of the season. But notice how in the 2nd half of the season from February onwards they had the best record and became the most inform side in the Bundesliga which gave Tuchel a solid platform to build on when he tookover.
Dortmund is always(!) relying on a big star who‘s carrying the success. Immobile Dembélé Alcacer Aubameyang Sancho Haaland They all rushed to fame and to leave for a bigger club, leaving a hole in the team. You can‘t beat Bayern München with that inconsistancy.
Immobile? He was a total flop at bvb. He is good only for lazio. Alcacer is not a big star... And you forgot Lewandowski ;) But most of these players were made stars in dortmund and because dortmund is not owned by a multi billionaire, they can't hold their own grown stars.
LOL he gets described as a Quarterback by some commentators when playing in a back 3 and he steps forward to pick out a long ball so I started using that term!
i would never say i was a fan of dortmund but a small part of me liked there team and respected them. however seeing them repeatedly sell there best players for profit leaves a sour taste in mouth. almost like they don’t have ambitions to beat bayern munich or even win the champions league for that matter also where does their money go ??
Why are they falling short? Nothing is happening, I genuinely never saw them that good tbh, they get instantly destroyed as soon as they touch the cl because it's exposes how weak they are. they're just good looking in the Bundesliga. Key word good "looking".
At the end of the day, if the foreign fans don’t like how the club is ran they are welcome to follow a different team. Only the real, local/match-going fans have the right I actually critique the club like that.
Dortmund pigeonholed themselves as the future stars factory - 3/4 of Borussia squad is young players with intention to be sold for crazy money. Borussia ten years ago had fewer up-and-comers, spine of the team was built from experienced players, ready for the now and they were coached by someone who helped popularize Rangnick's style that would be known as "gegenpressing". The mentality changed for worse, in my opinion.
Mate if I was a dortmund fan fuck me, deep down I would have so much anger 😂 like as a milan fan imagine if inter was always plucking our best players and won the title every year and we not only allowed it to happen but its our model fuck me it must be tuff
nah signing marco rose was a good signing bc we were losing sancho the season after and if we had kept tezic we could of been worse right now to be honest
The team is able to score year in year out. But if we can conceed 5 or 6 as well as we can score 5 or 6, that never really allows for title winning football. These days, a clean sheet is something to celebrate and that's the state of Dortmund 🥲
Dortmund has a weak mentality like the rest of the bundesliga teams. They are satisfied to be 2nd behind bayern and they didnt close the chapter Klopp. They always compare. He's gone and move on.
Dortmund business model is not build to win championships. I love the club but the bundesliga financial system have a "fame" of clubs running out of cash when trying to retain their players to other leagues or to bayern munich, they just can't keep up with oil money
They fall short repeatedly due to a loser mentality. The club from the top to bottom does not have the mentality to take Bayern down. Some of the comments made by watzke are just embarrassing
Dortmund has been one of the best run clubs over the recent years. I think the specter of when they where in a Barcelona like situation not super long ago still looms large and they want to build up a real war chest and have higher constant income before they become a club that can make a true push for a couple of years. Indeed the Hummels and Schulz signings have not been as successful as their attacking signings. Still Akanji, Diallo, Geurrero, Hakimi (who they should have kept) and Zagadou at the time where good. The main one you skipped over is goalkeeper. They have not had a world class or potential world class one for ages. They should get Onana on a free this summer or Livakovic from Zagreb.
Hummels is working, but schulz isn't, also maybe they need to sell witsel, or at least play him bit by bit until his best form is recovered. Personally, they shouldn't have sold delaney, and they should invest more on defense (mainly a quality cb and decent back ups) and defensive midfielders, keeper is surprisingly fine
Not entirely sure why a Canadian that starts every opinion with "what I've read on twitter" gets to talk about what english speaking twitter thinks about a German club to be honest.
Only klopp can save them..klopp is the only world class manager who would come back to dortmund.dortmund are much better now financially than when klopp left..If klopp had been manager they would have won a ucl with bellingham sancho halland and hakimi in the squad.. All dortmund need is a good manager even unai emery would have been good
Bayern will sign him all top talents in Bundesliga. Lewandowski, Gotze, Hummels from Dortmund Kimmich, Upamacano Sabitzer from RBL Neuer, Goretzka from Schalke Pavard from Stuttgart Gnabry , Sule from Hoffenheim
@@RabonaTV exactly! Outside of the championship spot, the Bundesliga is the most competitive of the top 5 leagues. Often seeing teams qualify for Europe in one season. Then fight relegation in the Bundesliga while playing in europa league haha
Yeah its a wonder how that happens, small club with no money overperforms and gets the key players taken. Then they have to play an extra competition with a weakened squad, like who is even surprised by that not being the ideal state to be in.
Its because Dortmund has this losers mentality. Everytime they lose or something goes not their way they say it's someones other's fault. Due to that they are not progressing. To do better you have to work om yourself but if you think you are not at fault you will never be better. Also they have no player with stromg mentality they try to implement Reus as a captain but he does not have the qualities a captain should have. Also they rely on Hummels instead of bringing some new, fresher and better defender.

@@fernandosilva9926 plus schlotterberg do be on fire this season
I always said that the board doesn't know how to build a squad.
Bürki was a massive reasoning behind Dortmund’s lack of progress
In my opinion, Dortmund need a new Sebastian Kehl. A defensive midfielder, who is a proper fighter, willing to give and leave everything on the pitch for his club.
The most important thing is a proper captain. Real was strong because of Ramos, Liverpool has Henderson - Dortmund needs a leader on the pitch.
Ever since Kehl left, they were lacking this aspect. Unless they find and keep a player like that, they won't win the Bundesliga.
You’re right. Kehl was an amazing personality and this kind of player can be the backbone of a team. In comparison Reus is a joke of a captain. I can’t respect him whenever he gives Post game interviews. Always complaining about stuff he doesn’t have influence on like the ref, the condition of the field and so on. On the other side Müller is pretty much always either pissed or talks very clearly on what they did wrong and want to improve. That‘s the difference, one has a growth mindset, the other has a fixed mindset like they did all the could and if it isn’t enough the world was against them. You can’t win the league that way
Kehl was amazing. Gritty hard working and truly passionate for the club
i’d love zakaria, but in terms of leaders, we’ve got reus and hummels. they’re different types of leaders from kehl, but leaders nonetheless
@@jackbartzen9133 well pretty Reus is a joke of a leader for a team that wants to win Titles no matter what. He‘s one of the most tragically romantic players in recent history I think. He picked Dortmund over Bayern because he played there in his youth and ended up not winning anything (2 DFB Pokals and 3 Supercups is nothing tbh), never played a meaningful team for the national team, and even skipped the Euros 2021 this year for literally no reason. Reus is really one of the most talented players who didn’t affect history like at all.
Hummels was amazing as a player, but Bayern knew when he was finished and let him go. As a Leader he was nice to have but not a player you can’t be without like Müller, Kimmich, Lewa, Neuer, etc. otherwise Bayern wouldn’t have let him go.
I feel like Dortmund if fine with getting nice youngsters, playing enjoyable football but also losing whenever it gets really serious, especially if you can blame some outside influences like the ref or the condition of the pitch.
I know this was kinda harsh, but I’d love to hear the opinion of a Dortmund supporter, especially one who watches them on a weekly basis, because I don’t and that’s what I think about them
They need Dorsch and bring back Terzic and stop planning the squad based around profit but plan the squad to be a strong Dortmund squad aimed at winning.
It seems to me as well that BVB was just about to turn the page on the selling club business model and put the black cloud of the Financial Crisis behind them. And then the pandemic happened. And when a key revenue stream is an 83,000 seat facility always being full, that can't help but sting.
Now they haven't had to sell players to make the books work. But I do think it put the kibosh on any huge signings this year. And also on any hopes of keeping Haaland.
Bvb make 400 mill a year am sure they can hold onto their players
I like the Dortmund guy, he has interessting views and speaks clearly.
Cheers mate!
@@JJDTV96 He’s pretty cute on streams. They are always fun to tune in on👍🏼
The only 2 football reviewers i watch. Adrian for my international follow ups and Josh for the team i love and support.
Much love my guy!
Dortmund don't like buying good defenders because they can't flip them for as much money as they would a young shiny new attacker
And it should be a huge point of concern when players don't want to rehab their injuries at the club, they'd prefer to go to 3rd party help. They're cutting costs to save money in the wrong areas and aren't creating a competent environment to ultimately compete
The problem is a similar one to most laliga, Ligue one, and Serie A teams. They don't have the financial backing that allows for them to keep players long term that prem teams have, but because they have to keep rotating the squad, we struggle to find consistency. This means we cant win trophies, can't afford or persuade players to stay and repeat the cycle. Klopp managed to get the best out of a young squad from nowhere, and unless that happens again, or we find a magical new source of revenue, it's going to continue like this for a while.
Dortmund are more than rich enough they spend 40 mill on mutiple players a window its there inconsistency and constant changing of coaches since klopp left
12:56 that cut was deffo because you both laughed at him roasting schulz 😂
Who was our last good academy player?? We must focus developing talent from within rather than being a stepping stone for other young players who stay for a maximum of 3-4 years. We need players who play for the badge from our youth ranks.
Thank you, Adrian. I watch your content anyway but about my fav club makes me even more happy
As a Dortmund fan that looks long-term, Dortmund’s future just 15 years ago, was that ok bankruptcy. We have created a system that works. I’d like to win more, and we make plenty of mistakes of course, but our success sometimes is dependent on Bayern Munich, who are the best club in the world IMO. If we win the Europa league, and the cup, it won’t be that bad. Rose next year needs to be at a Bayern level.
The lack of reinvestment could be due to Dortmunds finances not being good, 20 years ago they were bankrupt and don't have the funding of Premier League teams and then there's also COVID.
We need to make some big transfers (especially in the defense) if we want to break the Bayern monopoly
I mean during the summer before the 19/20 season we spent +100M without selling big names. COVID f*** us and we had really bad luck with those signings neither of them have shown to be a massive improvement.
@@fernandosilva9926 But you also sold players for 100+ mil.
I think Brandt has underperformed, but Hazard was alright. He did well during his first season.
Dortmund has little depth outside of their gks.
Before Klopp Dortmund was a mid table team smaller then Stuttgart or Werder they turn into a contenders in the league and regular CL competator theyve made amazing progress.So finishing second to Bayern is not bad Bayern are just to good .
Dortmund weren't struggling under Favre. Favre still has the second highest ppg after Tuchel. He would have the highest ppg if Hummels and Reus didn't sabotage Favre so they can finally play their high press which at least Hummels can't even play. Favre was freaking great!
Favre almost won the title without Haaland and broke the scoring record of BVB, but then the managment thought it would be a gread idea to buy Hummels, despite the fact Favre called him overrated, and then it went downhill pretty fast. Hummels demanded to play a high intense press which he can't even play due to his slowness. So biggest problem was and is that the club rather listens to Hummels/Reus(players) than to it's coaches.
As a schalke fan i get sick of people outside of germany always seem to give dortmund to much credit by saying bayern buy the league (theres some truth to that) but dortmund do the same as bayern they weaken teams around them which as a factor makes bayerns title fight easier recently they stole Kobel from stuttgart Brandt from Leverkusen Dahoud and Hazard from gladbach diallo from mainz and they'll be more plus they picked off gladbachs coach who had them in a title fight 2 seasons before they took him i hope the narrative toward dortmund starts to change cus they are not as pro academy as rhey seem (since they buy from abroad and in Germany instead of actually promoting their own youth)
Adiyemi, Aning & Christiansen they all fit the type of players that bvb go for. Fully expect that to be their summer
I’d say it’s because we have sort of become complacent when it comes to the defence. We NEVER spend anything on defence (also another clean sheet for you and Josh in Red Bull Chennai, the third straight one)
thats what ive been saying they cheaped up and got menier as a hakimi replacement... sighhhhhhhhh
@@nscrenrique Meunier has been decent but I think we really need Morey. Not to mention, we were linked with St Juste for like the whole window but we ended up getting a 2nd choice CB from Wolfsburg on loan.

@@OcEleven Kinda mad at the mess Dortmund is at the moment 😣
@@nscrenrique I don't think Coulibaily was a bought to play for the first team.
Dortmund's business model is not to "make money buy winning trophies" their business model is "make money buy selling players" and for that they need to play attractive attacking football since forwards are worth more than defenders.
I dont think they are falling short in anyway... They are doing exactly what they are supposed to. Any titles are a bonus for dortmund.
Then they are just taking up precious UCL spots other teams would like. Being the second biggest club in Germany and think a trophy is a “bonus”
buy? its by*
You....can do that without neglecting defensive structure.
By*
Also, Ajax says "Hi". They develop players from a good variety of positions, so they're able to have a quality, balanced team, and be able to sell a good amount of them to teams with different wants and needs.
Amazing how the things have changed so much from 2012. Everyone in Germany laughed at 2nd place Bayern in every competition. Dortmund could have continued their success but they've become this team that is fine with just selling young players. There is no winning mentality that I can see in the last few years (yes I'm a Bayern fan). Everyone always says Bayern is bad for the league but as you heard, BVB prefer players from within the Bundesliga (more than Bayern, look at the numbers) and essentially ended Gladbach's season when they announced the mgr signing in season. It doesn't help the league when the #2 is a feeder team. There's no bite to this team, they were de-fanged in the CL final.
True. It's also important, imho, that Bayern are able to always compete with the best teams in the Champions League without having tons of money (compared to Premiere League teams or teams owned by rich oligarchs/oil monopolists).
@@Nr4747
The TV deals and broadcast WAY BACK and buying players in the league.
Because they don't want to win... For years I have been disappointed with the bvb, they have became bayern II, no mistake with bayern's second team, they criticize bayern but buy players from their rivals, Reus; Dahoud, nico schulz and Thorgan hazard(gladbach), brandt(leverkusen) and snapped haaland and now adeyemi before they move to leipzig(who plays for a CL spot every season), they have done the same as bayern, and to make it worse they lend money from bayer in the beginning of he 2000's, 2 million every month to pay wages and day to day expenses, I can't imagine gladbach or schalke doing this kind of stuff, this was very disappointing... and bayern loaned the money with no interests, who the f.. loans money without having something in return? Just ask yourself?? And when bayern wanted to offload Mario gotze, a player who was deemed a traitor by bvb fans, and misses the CL league final(against bayern), with a suspicious injury, and proved to be an overrated and overpaid player, who bought him out of bayern??many Bvb fans even whistled gotze on the pitch.
Every board at the current top clubs in Europe are made of money grabber individuals, but when you watch your teams bus explode, and you still want your players to play the game because of the money that is at stake, the bvb showed their true colours, all due respect to Thomas tuchel who was against the decision, this was truly disappointing for me as I once liked borussia dortmund... you never walk alone?? Really?? I admire the support, 81 000 fans every game makes it a million people every dozen home games, and that is AWESOME! but in 81 thousand? In the middle of the one million fans; and the 40 million across Germany(probably made up, but its on the internet) there isn't one single soul capable of creating a true hymn for his team; that they would have to copy it from someone else? I love football chants in a packed stadium, and like many of the chants other teams have, but I wouldn't them at MY club.
This is truly disappointing...
That’s my Dortmund! Never actually doing ANYTHING!
I’d say the main reason is because Dortmund’s owners prioritise money and big transfer fee sales rather than keeping those players and investing and trying to win trophies and going head to head with Bayern
As a person who plays FM as Dortmund, and has been picking up Karim since FM20 every time, this pleases me.
We also have a lack of young talanted players in Germany. What was the last player from the BvB academy to permanently make it to the first team as a regular player?
In the current squad? Knauff, Passlack, Reus. Ex-BVB youth that's ended up somewhere else? Rüdiger, Götze
bruh...knauff has to be loaned to frankfurt, passlack never starts and reus is old now. not great examples....
@@rollsreus3862 Reus is still amazing
Dortmund feels similar to Salzburg in terms of having to reform every season or two.
Still, both continue to perform nonetheless.
I really hope that Dortmund and the others can manage to dethrone Bayern (for entertainment purposes).
Oh yeah… P.S.: leave your hands off of Adeyemi, we still need him 😅🙏
Salzburg stomps the weak ass Austrian league even after selling half of their starters.
But Salzburg has one advantage: They have their fixed playing style and the infrastructure to bring in players that fit. If their 10+ million € signing flops, it doesn't matter. If Dortmund signs a player for like 40-50 mil and he flops, it is a different story.
Football is a business, clubs only care about money, Dortmund makes money by signing young attacking players and raising their value by playing attacking football and then selling them. This is their plan, other clubs want to make money by winning trophies and having a huge fanbase, Dortmund has another model, if fans don't like then they can change team, because in this world money is the only important thing.

"[...]that's actually an interesting avenue to go down[...]...most definitely Canadian.

Dortmund always had problems with the defense since Tuchel left. Hummels isn't the player he was during his 1st stint, Zagadou is always injured, Meunier and Schultz are disaster class signings. Even they struggled finding the right manager to end the Bayern dominance since Klopp left. Bar Tuchel, Bosz and Stoger were horrible appointments. Favre will go down as the manager who threw away the Bundesliga title to Bayern when Bayern had a terrible manager in Niko Kovac. Last season he fell apart and got sacked. Tezic got Dortmund back on track but got replaced by Rose. Now Rose is having the same problems he inherited from the Bosz days and the board didn't do much to solve the problem.
Unless Dortmund can fix the problems and keep hold of their star players then expect Bayern to dominate the Bundesliga for a long time.
Schulz? Yes, Meunier? Not as good as Rapa but he's been improving under Rose.
you clearly havent been watching meunier recently
A problem with their manager signings is the shadow Klopp has cast that seems to cloud every appointment. They keep going for the manager they think will be the next Klopp rather than trying to find the manager who can fix the problems with the squad.
Take the appointment of Rose. You can see why they picked him. His high pressing style was fun to watch and it brought a fair measure of success to Gladbach but it also masked just how vulnerable they were defensively. He is not the manager you want to bring on to a team that already has defensive issues. But all they saw was a potential successor to Klopp.
In my opinion, Oliver Glasner would have been a much more shrewd signing. He took Wolfsburg to a fourth placed finish last season, same as Rose did with Gladbach a season before, and he did it with a weaker squad. He then signed on to a Frankfurt side that had just lost Andre Silva (27 goals last season), saw Luka Jovic return to Madrid after a half season loan spell and had been pretty poor defensively. It seemed like a team destined to fall off from their last season high. Instead, after a rough start he brought the team much needed defensive stability and right now they're flying. Yes, they've yet to score more than 3 goals in a game but they also aren't shipping 4 or 5 the way they did during Hütter's time. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg have completely crashed and burned after he left despite all their squad strengthening over the summer, proving just how much of their success was owed to Glasner. But of course because his style wasn't flashy enough so he was never going to get the Dortmund gig.
I admire BVB , but they've disappointed me so much and it has come to the point that it feels like they don't want to win any major honours
It might take a long time.. but things change. A couple of years ago nobody could imagine Juve & Barca being where they are now.. and Man Utd & Lyon before them. Though Bayern should be good for a while, with all the young players they have.
They always blame Bayern for their problems. The fact is that BVB is a horribly run club, squandering incoming transfer money. It's easy to say "BAYERN BUYS ALL OUR PLAYERS", which isn't true. Lewandowski came on a free ;) Bayern at least shops out of germany, BVB on the other hand buys up the Bundesliga more so than Bayern. Just look at that lineup.
To be fair, he didn't blame Bayern. I was referring to your average online BVB fan. I think the true BVB fans know better. But I always hear "BVB is my second favorite team", usually from EPL fans who don't watch the Bundesliga. Which gets quite annoying haha their loss I think
One big difference between Bayern & Dortmund:
Bayern sacked Kovac and brought Hansi Flick on an interim basis --> he performed well --> Bayern kept him
Dortmund sacked Favre and brought Edin Terzic on an interim basis --> he performed well --> Dortmund replaced him
And Bayern did that EVEN THOUGH they are a bigger club, have more world-class players (who easily get frustrated when things go wrong) and higher expectations.. Bayern didn't go for the big name but rather for actual coaching ability instead of trying to be risk averse and going for the safe pair of hands.
Peter Stoger also performed well when the other Peter was sacked in the 17-18 season.
But there also is a chance it falls apart in season two fx when di matteo got the chelsea job.
Bayern is a far easier job it isn't that good a comparison, bringing in a "poor coach" just means only winning the league and getting a CL QF exit. It is actually somewhat smart to not just let an interim take charge anyways, if it blows up then everyone says "it's always stupid to sign an interim" anyways
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 There is always a chance that it falls apart, but that's literally the definition of "taking a risk"
@@cameron9385 It's not really. The biggest names in coaching have struggled to meet expectations at the club. Pep won everything domestically but noone would say that he's been an ABSOLUTE success, because he did not win the UCL. Ancelotti was unlucky in the UCL (referees scammed him) and also didn't meet expectations. Bayern took the risk and it paid off, Dortmund didn't and they are paying the price for it (short-term).
They’re only interested in money, not in success
Bayern's total team wadge bill this season is $90,679,971 higher than Dortmund's. Had they invested some of that into a stronger defense they likely could be pushing for that spot. However, Dortmund has always had the philosophy of growing young talent into huge stars and making massive profit off of them. However they really do not re-invest that money expect in more youth to train up to become another profit revenue. Watch any Dortmund game, an 18 year old gets subbed off for a 17 year old. And both are great! However neither of them will stay for very long and the team as a whole will never grow. That's just my take but I still love them and will always support them.
it’s nice seeing us bring up young players now tho. it’d be cool to get jobe bellingham, but i’m really happy to see that bynoe-gotten is going to get first team experience in the second half of the season, and it’s nice to save some money and hopefully sign a mature, experienced defender OR schlotterbeck who i’d be super happy with despite the young age
Dont follow Dortmund much but it always seems on highlights the defence isnt very good. Why is Hummels still playing??? (he used to be fantastic as a player years ago)... How are the actual youth players coming through?.
No youth player are coming through
Adrian with another banger 😈
plan to compete for the bundesliga title next year:
1. drop big contracts that don’t play a ton or aren’t all that important (can, witsel, and schulz imo need to go)
2. sign a solid defender or two and a strong midfielder (schlotterbeck and zakaria, im good w schlotterbeck since we’re likely going to resign akanji who’s been one of our bright spots)
3. imo, we need to use a 3-back formation, especially when guerreiro and hummels play such a crucial role in our team. i loved the 5-3-2. i’ll wait to see who we sign and how rose develops his 4-2-3-1 tho, that seems like a better way to use guys like reus, gio, and brandt. i was still more of a fan of 3-back formations given BVB’s brand of attacking football
4. get moukoko a loan. he’s potentially a generational talent, but for now, he’s just sitting on the bench for the most part. he needs minutes, and he’s not getting them in this squad. even a loan over the second half of this season would be nice
5. KEEP HAALAND
6.again, pls keep haaland🥺
Marco Rose is the Graham Potter of the Bundesliga. Change. My. Mind.
players that throw every game: hummels, schulz, CAN
I disagree on the good signings.
They are probably the best in the world at finding and recruiting young talents, but the more experienced and often expensive signings like Schulz, Brandt, Can, Hazard, Meunier are underperforming or just simply not worth it.
Additonally, they have so many unreliable players who are inconsistent, injury-prone, error-prone, or get too many red cards, e.g Hummels, Akanji, Meunier, Brand, Can, Dahoud, Reus.
Also, Dortmund have not enough quality players. When someone is injured there often is a huge drop of, e.g. Tigges/Moukoko for Haaland, Schulz for Guerrero, Pongracic/Witsel for Hummels/Akanji..
They are unfortunately in the spot where they have to compete against Bayern. Probably the most consistently successful team of the last decade, but it's also a Dortmund team that is imo declining for years now. When Haaland leaves this summer I'm seriously worried about them even consistently getting into the CL. I doubt that teams like Leipzig, Gladbach, or Wolfsburg will fall off next season like this one.
Not since the Tuchel days have we had a defense that was solid, and ever since Auba left they seemed to have been hellbent on throwing money into finding the next Lewy and bolstering our offence at the expense of the defensive line. Dortmund is a great team of individuals, and that is why they can't challenge Bayern. Key young players come in, make a name for themselves for a couple of seasons and are poached. We just don't have time to build the precision and cohesion of Bayern. Once Haarland goes, they'll be after Bellingham. I think that might be why they are eyeing off signing his brother Jobe as well. At least Jude seems to be in it for the love of the game.
We've always failed to invest and if we do it's mediocre at best and so has been the norm,free scoring yet a car crash at the back
Dortmund bottled yet AGAIN! 😒😒😒
i am wondering if I will live to see anyone other than Bayern win the Bundesliga. I could live about 30 more years so I figure there is a small chance I will (assuming the league doesn't relax rules on foreign ownership and some oligarch or oiligarch decides that Freiburg is the place to be.
I heard that BVB lack a winning mentality. The club itself is relatively content with were they are.
They should sign Boubacar Kamara from Marseille, his contract is up in summer...
Adrian, could you do a similar analysis video about Atletico Madrid?
A lot of casual viewers still think we park the bus, but in reality our defence is no longer as solid and organised as it used to be. At present, the 2 main defenders (Savić and Gimenez) are both out injured, so playing in a 3-atb we have to play Kondogbia at CB. Thus, we desperately need more depth in defence.
Diego Simeone himself is becoming a more divisive topic with each loss or draw against mid-table team. At the start of the season, everyone was unanimously behind him. But now after losing 3 matches in a row for the first time in his managerial career, it's hard to tell if it's simply the players who are out of form or if it's Simeone's tactics that are outdated.
At present, I doubt we can seriously challenge for the league title, so I'd be happy with a top 4 finish.
Oh I very much know that. It's frustrating to watch this team have so much world-class talent, yet play like relegation fodder over the past month or so.
Oh, and who can forget playing Marcos Llorente at wing-back before he too got injured.
As much as I hate Real Madrid and everything they stand for, they are far more stable in terms of depth and play style.
Combination of reasons to do with not investing enough in the defence, too many of their Managers post Klopp and Tuchel lacking any real authority and don't have high enough standards especially with all these inconsistent results. While we are on the topic of Managers, constantly hiring the wrong ones post Klopp except Tuchel.
Peter Bosz was a always terrible choice regardless of that Europa League Final appearance. Even more so when you look at the fact that he lost the Eredevisie title to Feyenoord who spent peanuts compared to both them and PSV. Honestly it would have made far more sense for Dortmund to bring in Giovanni Von Bronhorst instead whose achievement that season with Feyenoord was pretty comparable to what Klopp did.
Lucien Favre is a very good Manager that did truly outstanding work at Borussia Munchenblagbach essentially shaping the consistent top 10, challenging for European spots club they are today from the near relegated side they almost were the season prior to him taking over. He also did very well at Niece too. But the fit simply wasn't there to begin with.
So that brings us now to Marco Rose. Maybe a bit harsh, but to me he is just decent Manager at best that came across a very stable club in Borussia Munchenblagbach that has been consistently finishing in the top 10 and challenging for European places for a decade because of the foundations Lucien Favre had laid. So really pretty overrated and again the wrong fit.
You will notice I left out two Managers in Peter Stoger and Edin Terzic and that's because I generally don't count interim Managers unless they get the job on a permanent basis like Ole Gunnar Soljkaear.
Fitted pretty well when Favre almost won the title without Haaland and broke the scoring record of BVB, but then the managment thought it would be a gread idea to buy Hummels, despite the fact Favre called him overrated, and then it went downhill pretty fast. Hummels demanded to play a high intense press which he can't even play due to his slowness. So biggest problem was and is that the club rather listens to Hummels than to it's coaches.
I don’t understand why any club in the bundesliga failed to challenged bayern, i always see all teams in bundesliga prioritised money over championship, at least rb , dortmund should not sell there best players, they should build a team which would challenge bayern , they should start acting like a big club , rb and dortmund are capable of becoming a big club in Europe
I simply don't believe our players play for the club. They see bvb as a stepping stone for their career.
Hard to lose Klopp, the best manager, coach, team builder in world football.
I still find it amazing that some Germanphiles think the German League is better than the premier league LOL!. One elite team (Bayern) with second best being on par with Spurs (Dortmund). With Bayern signing players with Dortmund
Lol Dortmund and spurs are you serious Dortmund is definitely on par or even better than a team like United
For me it's always been stagnating squad, it's always 2-3 wonderkids and filled with mediocre players. In klopp era the XI was a team of 8-9 wonderkids and the rest is to fill in the spaces.
But also we didn't/couldn't convince any good players to come/stay, if we can, we could even shop in elite young players but since they won't stay long term the market won't make sense for us. In addition, not going for the best German players is also problematic.
I wouldn't say that they were 8-9 wonderkids, it was more a good ration between wonderkids and honest hard worker.
@@TheLibermania Agree
After Klopp for me they always have poor managers !!!
Klopp himself was terrible in his closing season tbh

@@josiahlutchman4913 That's mostly because they had a stupid amount of injuries to many key players for that entire first half of the season.

Dortmund is always(!) relying on a big star who‘s carrying the success.
Immobile
Dembélé
Alcacer
Aubameyang
Sancho
Haaland
They all rushed to fame and to leave for a bigger club, leaving a hole in the team. You can‘t beat Bayern München with that inconsistancy.
Immobile? He was a total flop at bvb. He is good only for lazio. Alcacer is not a big star... And you forgot Lewandowski ;)
But most of these players were made stars in dortmund and because dortmund is not owned by a multi billionaire, they can't hold their own grown stars.
My man really described Hummels as a Quarterback 💀💀💀
LOL he gets described as a Quarterback by some commentators when playing in a back 3 and he steps forward to pick out a long ball so I started using that term!
Hey Adrian, i see you are a fellow Strokes fan like myself, which album of theirs is your favourite? And what's your top 5 songs?
The things Antony did to Nico Schulz should be considered a war crime , it would take something out of this world to get that mans confidence back.
It doesn't hurt anymore they are just too reliant on the attacking front and developing players and selling them for big bucks
i would never say i was a fan of dortmund but a small part of me liked there team and respected them. however seeing them repeatedly sell there best players for profit leaves a sour taste in mouth. almost like they don’t have ambitions to beat bayern munich or even win the champions league for that matter
also where does their money go ??
Why are they falling short? Nothing is happening, I genuinely never saw them that good tbh, they get instantly destroyed as soon as they touch the cl because it's exposes how weak they are.
they're just good looking in the Bundesliga. Key word good "looking".
At the end of the day, if the foreign fans don’t like how the club is ran they are welcome to follow a different team. Only the real, local/match-going fans have the right I actually critique the club like that.
Furth has 3 cleansheets, and bvb has 2 😐we are really stupid in defence 😢
Dortmund pigeonholed themselves as the future stars factory - 3/4 of Borussia squad is young players with intention to be sold for crazy money. Borussia ten years ago had fewer up-and-comers, spine of the team was built from experienced players, ready for the now and they were coached by someone who helped popularize Rangnick's style that would be known as "gegenpressing". The mentality changed for worse, in my opinion.
Mate if I was a dortmund fan fuck me, deep down I would have so much anger 😂 like as a milan fan imagine if inter was always plucking our best players and won the title every year and we not only allowed it to happen but its our model fuck me it must be tuff
Do a video on man citys striker options now that torres has left ?
When you let your club become your biggest rivals feeder team/bitch it’s gotta do damage to your drive to win trophies
Why comment on poor BVB when Bayern take all their players for free transfers or small sum of money. Scandalous Farmers league.
nah signing marco rose was a good signing bc we were losing sancho the season after and if we had kept tezic we could of been worse right now to be honest
Dortmund reminds me of arsenal, you have so much hopes for them but they never seem to go anywhere
The team is able to score year in year out. But if we can conceed 5 or 6 as well as we can score 5 or 6, that never really allows for title winning football. These days, a clean sheet is something to celebrate and that's the state of Dortmund 🥲
Dortmund has a weak mentality like the rest of the bundesliga teams. They are satisfied to be 2nd behind bayern and they didnt close the chapter Klopp. They always compare. He's gone and move on.
Dortmund business model is not build to win championships. I love the club but the bundesliga financial system have a "fame" of clubs running out of cash when trying to retain their players to other leagues or to bayern munich, they just can't keep up with oil money
They fall short repeatedly due to a loser mentality. The club from the top to bottom does not have the mentality to take Bayern down. Some of the comments made by watzke are just embarrassing
Disconnect in the Squad for sure
Dortmund has been one of the best run clubs over the recent years. I think the specter of when they where in a Barcelona like situation not super long ago still looms large and they want to build up a real war chest and have higher constant income before they become a club that can make a true push for a couple of years. Indeed the Hummels and Schulz signings have not been as successful as their attacking signings. Still Akanji, Diallo, Geurrero, Hakimi (who they should have kept) and Zagadou at the time where good. The main one you skipped over is goalkeeper. They have not had a world class or potential world class one for ages. They should get Onana on a free this summer or Livakovic from Zagreb.
Hummels is working, but schulz isn't, also maybe they need to sell witsel, or at least play him bit by bit until his best form is recovered. Personally, they shouldn't have sold delaney, and they should invest more on defense (mainly a quality cb and decent back ups) and defensive midfielders, keeper is surprisingly fine
@@gedeabinaya9696 my grandma is faster on the first 30 m than hummels.. he is a big issue.
@@hoebertrabeck1621 he's like 30+, so i wouldn't count him for pace, but without hummels, the defense is 10 times worse
@@gedeabinaya9696 Many 30+ players are fast, Ronaldo, Messi, VVD. Come on man
@@jprme7588 you clearly haven't seen hummels's pace. He's not pacy
The worst thing to ever happen to us was when we decided to go on the German Stock market. Profit over everything ever since.
Not entirely sure why a Canadian that starts every opinion with "what I've read on twitter" gets to talk about what english speaking twitter thinks about a German club to be honest.
I said "English speaking BVB fans" and I mentioned Twitter so everyone knows it's just from what I saw, I'm not saying it's a fact.
I’m still working but it’s my lunch break
BvB needs to be sign good defenders. You can't win a league by always trying to outscore
Come on, last game between BM & D was stolen. 🤬
Can't see any club without billionaire or state backing challenging Bayern.
Only klopp can save them..klopp is the only world class manager who would come back to dortmund.dortmund are much better now financially than when klopp left..If klopp had been manager they would have won a ucl with bellingham sancho halland and hakimi in the squad.. All dortmund need is a good manager even unai emery would have been good
Dortmund needs a better goalkeeper... They need a better manager. There is no balance on that team.
Emre Can has been such a liability in the middle of the park
Terzic's run wasn't impressive, what's his ppg? Like 10th of all BVB coaches? What a BS.
Bayern will sign him all top talents in Bundesliga.
Lewandowski, Gotze, Hummels from Dortmund
Kimmich, Upamacano Sabitzer from RBL
Neuer, Goretzka from Schalke
Pavard from Stuttgart
Gnabry , Sule from Hoffenheim
bc Bayern is tooooo good :) #MiaSanMia
That's a massive part of it for sure! But Dortmund (and the rest of the clubs in Germany) have a knack for fumbling the bag at crucial moments.
@@RabonaTV exactly! Outside of the championship spot, the Bundesliga is the most competitive of the top 5 leagues. Often seeing teams qualify for Europe in one season. Then fight relegation in the Bundesliga while playing in europa league haha
Yeah its a wonder how that happens, small club with no money overperforms and gets the key players taken.
Then they have to play an extra competition with a weakened squad, like who is even surprised by that not being the ideal state to be in.
I think Schlotterbeck will go to Bayern
Lack of squad depth is the answer.
You’re welcome
Dortmund definitely need a new cdm
I am so tired of this team
Man thank god I'm not a BVB fan.
BVB get gutted every 4 years windows in my view.
Haaland lost his magic. His next club will suffer or better think twice
20 goals halaand is a machine 😅
Its because Dortmund has this losers mentality.
Everytime they lose or something goes not their way they say it's someones other's fault.
Due to that they are not progressing. To do better you have to work om yourself but if you think you are not at fault you will never be better.
Also they have no player with stromg mentality they try to implement Reus as a captain but he does not have the qualities a captain should have.
Also they rely on Hummels instead of bringing some new, fresher and better defender.
You should do a video on Leicester
You had to bring the rudest of Canadians on
