About the bad results that Dortmund got this season, maybe this season will make other teams succeed in finishing in the Champions League zone this season. Because it seems, Eintracht Frankfurt from season to season also has a good effort even though it still fails to survive in the top four. But at least, Eintracht Frankfurt always manages to be in the upper zone in the standings, although not in the top four, but at least Eintracht Frankfurt always manages to finish in the top ten in the last few seasons. Thus, maybe with the slump experienced by Dortmund this season will provide a good chance for other teams especially about Eintracht Frankfurt to be able to finish in the top four. But even so, I also still believe that Dortmund could rise quickly maybe in the second half of the season.
Dortmund performance is not really doing well this season. I have even thought about how they will end this season and which position they will end the season in, although I know that yesterday's defeat was due to that red card. Still, I was thinking Dortmund will perform more than that, but I won’t conclude about that yet. Currently, Dortmund is in the 7th position, but many teams that are ahead of them are stronger than them, so definitely I do think Dortmund will make it to the top. Dortmund needs to fix their problems and do well.
The start of the season did not go well but that does not mean that it can continue until the middle or even the end of the season because looking at what always happens, the ups and downs in performance in a season are sometimes difficult to predict so a bad start to the season can happen because of a wrong start but it can be corrected with a better performance in the middle of the season or the end of the season.
So the position is still uncertain even if they are bad now but that does not mean their position can be easily predicted from now on for the end of the season.
We can take an example in the last 2 seasons where even Dortmund, who had excelled in the middle of the season until the end of the season, had to be willing to lose the top position and trophy in the last match. Or in other conditions where Leverkusen, which was destroyed in the Seoane era and even in the relegation zone, was immediately transformed well by Xabi and ended up finishing in the Europa League zone position in the first season.
By looking at this although now Dortmund are not doing their job well but when talking about position I think their chances are still very big to be in a comfortable position and maybe even become one of the contenders in the race for the trophy provided they can improve their current performance.
