At first Borussia Dortmund almost went bankrupt. it all started in 2005, when Dortmund was nearly bankrupt. situation forced management to do business differently. for it is impossible to go down a similar path with wealthier competitors such as Bayern Munich. when many clubs are completely dependent on established and experienced players, Dortmund boldly include young players as a starter. Bold speculation, but that's what made young players from all over the world choose Dortmund as a bridge to start his early career.

Dortmund has a team that looks for talents and young talents from all over the world, and then sells them. how do we see Dortmund's management making huge profits, which makes this club independent of ticket sales and sponsors. so, in this way Dortmund has new stars every year, and is able to compete in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. so, actually Dortmund doesn't target to be a champion they just want to continue to exist as a club that is at the top level while still making a lot of profit. I hope, now you understand why Dortmund never targeted to win the championship trophy.

As I understand it, Dortmund, although really good at this, is also improving - if in the case of Haaland, the release clause under his contract was fixed and relatively small (75 million), then in the case of Bellingham, everything is different. Bellingham has a long-term contract (until 2026) and if someone decides to buy him, he will have to pay a serious amount and all the trump cards in this deal will be on the side of Dortmund.

I don't doubt Borussia Dortmund in creating potential young players. However, it becomes useless when they cannot take advantage of their ability to create potential players to make them achieve at least at the Bundesliga level. They do benefit from the players they sell, but as a connoisseur of football I feel it reduces their professionalism in the competition for the championship ladder.

Yes there is still much time and many games for even the bottom teams to improve and change the outcome of the season and even middle table teams to decline and drop  so the league is still open and a lot could change before the end of the season and I think Bochum can improve and play their way out of the relegation zone, they have a good team and play good football. If they can win some games out of the 19 they will be able to move up.

It is their tradition and their strategic business growth. Winning titles bring income but after that they will have to offer higher salary for their star players. I guess Dortmund feel it is unsafe, not smart and unsustainable for their club balance. They choose another approach, selling their star players at as highest transfer cost as possible which helps them to get enough income, strengthen their balance but won't make harmful increase in salary.

Jude Bellingham will play in Dortmund one or two more seasons, one more season at least. They can grow him up more and sell him at higher price. A success in World Cup 2022 is good but big clubs still be cautious about ability of Jude Bellingham to have continue his good form. They likely want to observe him more before spending expensive cost for him and Dortmund.

Seems yes, Dortmund only focuses on how to create the potential player. An example is Haaland, and now Dortmund focus to create new highest price and potential player, Jude Bellingham. After playing impressively with England on world cup, Jude Bellingham liked by many clubs, for example is Liverpool. So, with the situation, I believe Dortmund will make the the competition same like last session, they only play to how to make a player be expensive, but forget to shift top stand or be top 4 and, shifted the Bayern position.

Leipzig will face maybe some problems already when the second half of the season is starting against Bayern Munich as Nkunku is injured.
So maybe its time for Timo Werner to show his class and skillz now for sure hopefully with some other good player from Leipzig , as they have a few.

Yeb i agree on that , but when he is performing good he can change a game also , but he need a bit more constant playing.

One can also ask this question the other way round. So can it not even be the case that Dortmund has not become worse in the last few years, but that the other teams have become better and Dortmund has not improved?
[/quote]Nkuku will be going to the chelsea next year. Nkuku will not able to strengthen chelsea when it will be facing dortmund. There was another thing like moukoko to be linked with chelsea. It seems like that the rumour moukoko will not come to be a real thing caused by moukoko was prioritizing to join in the barcelona. The problem that will be facing by dortmund will be losing some key players caused by they have bought by the big teams. That will make dortmund will be less stronger than before.
Dortmund will be losing bellingham and moukoko. These two players have a very big contributions to the clubs. The dortmund needs to find new talented players again. The same thing gonna happen with leipzig

Timo Werner shows some pretty weird performances in the last two years or so in my opinion. I mean it is obvious that he has all the important abilities that you need to be successful in the football of today. He has a good technique and he is extremely fast, but somehow he almost completely lost his ability to score. Sometimes he misses chances that are so big that it is almost awkward to watch and the next time he tries to pass to his teammate even if he is completely alone in front of the goal. I guess he is just a very sensitive player, that needs to feel comfortable and also needs to be sure that he is fully supported. I think sooner or later his confidence will come back.

Well, what happens is that they were playing against Argentina, and Argentina with a very connected Messi, with his team and with a level that I had not seen from him, only in his best days with Barcelona, now I know that Messi is clear things, he made a goalkeeper from Croatia look like he was an apprentice, in fact the goalkeeper from Croatia is very good, but he still needs a lot more experience, but when facing players like Messi's level is something that any goalkeeper can achieve Looking like a trainee, I think the Croatian team will continue to make history as time goes on. For me they are at the best level.


Many have the hope of being able to beat Bayern, but few dare to play without that fear, or I don't know if a lot of respect, I really believe that the Bundesliga players and teams should change their mentality towards Bayern, I see that. they pay a lot of joy, and that alone is one reason why they won them, however I think that Bayern is not an invincible team, Union Berlin went to the bottom when they shouldn't, and one of the ways in which they were leaders during For a long time, there was Bayern in crisis, they didn't win and they couldn't have a good run, I think it's time to change all that, especially thinking.

Bayern is already looking for a central defender:

Report: Bayern Munich eyeing young Juventus center-back

Christopher Nkunku is one of Leipzig's best players, it was his goals that so much helped them last season to finish fourth and qualify for the champions league, Nkunku was also voted bundesliga player of last season, after his achievements last season i think we already knew he was going to leave Leipzig, and now Chelsea are said to have almost completed the deal to sign him, it is still a secret for now, but i believe very soon it will be official. Werner left Leipzig to join Chelsea, failed in Chelsea and returned back to Leipzig, i hope that isn't what would happen to Nkunku when he joins Chelsea, he has to have a better career in the Epl like he is having in the bundesliga.

One can also ask this question the other way round. So can it not even be the case that Dortmund has not become worse in the last few years, but that the other teams have become better and Dortmund has not improved?

In the past, Bayern had Dortmund as quite a strong competitor in the Bundesliga. But in the past few seasons, Dortmund has not seemed as good as it used to be. Even this season, they have not been able to recover from some of their game slumps. Freiburg may be Bayern's strongest competitor at the moment, but we also know that Bayern's strength is far above it. So, we could say that Bayern might dominate again this season.

For the first match after the World Cup, Bayern vs Leipzig will open a very interesting and big game. Leipzig might be considered to be in a very difficult position because if they lose to Bayern, their position may be replaced by Frankfurt or Berlin in third place.

I do not think the financial problems at Schalke will be the problem. Many clubs have even less money and can also play good football. The new coach was previously at Bochum and also achieved many there. With much less possibilities. The important thing is that they strengthen the team. Especially in the offensive midfield they need a new player.

I also hope so but with the current condition of the clubs in the Bundesliga it is actually very difficult to realize that. Bayern are still too strong for them but compared to expectations that are not too certain at least I hope there is competition here because indeed in the last few seasons it has been very rare for a club to keep up with them and Bayern have won so easily.

Schalke at the very least will be gone. They are having high financial crisis and because of that they are incapable of getting any expensive players. Any good players they have is players who are willing to play for cheap for them and not something bigger. And at the end of the day they are going to relegate again and again, and if they prove themselves to be good enough they will promote back.

This will go on until they fix their financial situation, it is not going to be easy to accept that as Schalke fans because they are used to being good, even win titles, and be great in the league but that doesn't mean that it is not going to happen for the time being.

Werner is a really talented player. His performance in the Chelsea team was not good enough. He managed to score just 4 goals in 21 matches with Chelsea last season. But Werner's performance with Leipzig is quite good. Although he is not able to score regularly, he is contributing to the overall performance of the team. However, Leipzig will face problems if Christopher Nkunku leaves the team. Because Christopher Nkunku is the regular scorer of Leipzig's squad.

Timo Werner has not made the career he wanted to make. When he went to Chelsea, everyone thought he was a great talent. However, he failed completely. Perhaps the game in the German league suits him better, since the level there is a lot lower compared to the Premier League. RB Leipzig has a nice team, without really excelling with world players. It is striking that they have good management there, they rarely or hardly ever make bad purchases. And in other football teams they also have things well organized. They can go to the pitch in January when Bayern Munich comes to visit.

Of course they still have Timo Werner. I think before the transfer market they can make the most of him. I think Werner has a pretty good ability in possession of the ball and dribling. If I'm not mistaken after returning from Chelsea he has already scored four goals in nine games in the Bundesliga.
For Nkunku, if I'm not mistaken, he is certain to join the transfer market next summer. So right now is his final season. Perhaps injuries will reduce Leipzig's current strength after the world cup.

Yeah, it's difficult but yet can still be predicted because clubs like Bochum, Augsburg, Hertha, Stuttgart, and Schalke, as already showing possible signs of being relegated. winning 5 out of 15 matches is enough to say that Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, and Mainz, may likely escape relegation this season. Though everyone still has at least 17 more games to play, I don't think the teams with good results in the table will be so unsophisticated to leave their position for those that are present in the relegation zone.
