In general I think Dortmund's performance this season is poor and they should play much better. Nevertheless, the gap at the top is just as small as the gap at the bottom, because 6 points separate them from a Champions League place and that is absolutely possible to reach. But I don't think they will make it.

maybe things will be better in 2024. because the dortmund coach will now have a good co-coach . assistant coach Edin Terzić will be Nuri Sahin from January 2024.
Nuri Sahin has been coach at Turkish club Antalyaspor since October 2021 . now he is to support Edin Terzić . and ex-professional Sven Bender is also part of the coaching staff at borussia dortmund with immediate effect . i am now curious to see if there will be better results for dortmund in january and february . otherwise the club will not qualify for the champions league . there are still a lot of points to be won in the next 18 games . but i think dortmund will be in 2nd-4th place at the end of the season

Personally I think we got used to see Dortmund a very strong force in Bundesliga but lately they are not so strong at all and they also need to change a few players withing their squad because it's clear that something is not working.

I also don't think that they can achieve UCL spots this year or they will achieve it with a bit of luck and help from teams like Stuttgart ( who are 3rd place ) and Leipzig ( 4th place right now ) but it kinda looks like top 4 are already locked in. Cool

It must be admitted that in the last few matches Dortmund has experienced a decline in performance so that they are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings. Dortmund's recent bad situation is because the players are selfish, all of them play very disgustingly, you could even say they don't play as a team, this is Dortmund's weakness this season, they have been solid. Edin Terzic must realize this mistake and he must continue to improve so that he can compete for the top four because otherwise next season they will not be in the UCL League. Indeed, the league is still long but changes must still be made by Edin Terzic to be able to bring Dortmund back on track. as it should be.

I agree that Dortmund's performance has dropped. The vibe is different from last season. Their Champions League run has been good, but their Bundesliga play is deteriorating. I think it's more than selfish players. This is about focus. Early in the season, they were focused on the Champions League, given their challenging group. After reaching the Round of 16, they should reassess their priorities

Edin Terzic has a major struggle. He must reconcile Champions League goals with domestic consistency. Winter break is a great time to regroup and refocus. I hope they'll come back stronger, but as a fan, it's disappointing to see such a good team underperforming in the league

Edin Terzic has made changes to fight in the second half of the season, starting with a change of assistant coach, perhaps this will be followed by recruiting several new players in the transfer window which will open tomorrow. It's true, Dortmund must balance stability between the UCL and the Bundesliga, the club priority scale now is domestic competitions, the UCL match break should be used to create consistency in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund second half of the season must be better, the 6 point difference with Leipzig is still reasonable to pursue, because it would be very disappointing for fans if they did not appear in the UCL next season. Competing with Laverkusen and Bayern Munchen is no longer possible, at least Dortmund can stop these two clubs from hunting for trophies.

I think Stuttgart and Leipzig also understand the current level of competition, both are also trying to maintain their position in the top four of the standings. The second half of the season became more interesting, and overall the Bundesliga is now more interesting than previous seasons.

Yes, maybe it is too early for us to speculate about where Cabi wants to go because this will be a long season for Cabi while he is at Leverkusen. Even if Leverkusen is successful in achieving achievements in the UEL and can maintain its position in first place in the points table, I am sure that Cabi will be in the next season. Very enthusiastic about moving to higher competition in the Champions League and will try to win a new history in the Champions League next season.
This season Leverkusen seems to have had great luck in being able to bring in a coach like him who has a strategy that is always right and can control all Leverkusen players to be able to perform solidly.
So linking Cabi with Real Madrid is no longer valid because Madrid already has the right choice.
In the upcoming match against Augsburg there will definitely be an opportunity for Leverkusen to get 3 points but we as bettors please be careful before betting because it could end in a draw.
But what is certain is that Leverkusen is trying not to lose points and provide a large gap to Bayern Munich.

Well I think Xabi Alonso has made his marks at Leverkusen and it’s very excellent to bow out when the ovations are loudest. Yes he’s eyeing huge success at Leverkusen this season and it’s very possible. Yes, he has to face higher challenges but that’s not necessarily important if he wins the UEL this season and maybe the league; he can just go home and have a good rest and come back refreshed when he finds the perfect club.

Yes, many European clubs wants him but the rumors were Madrid, unfortunately Don Carlo has been handed a 2 year contract and that already rules out the rumor of Xabi coming in. I feel he should rest a season and come back better and refreshed, maybe by then he'll be fully prepares and sure that he's ready to take the role of a manager in a top flight club, maybe his other previous club Liverpool or still Madrid in future.

I don't remember a team that had a season as surprising as Borussia Dortmund. Maybe Stuttgart may be providing this in a positive sense because they are better than expected, but in a negative sense I think one of the biggest surprises belongs to them. Borussia Dortmund are now far away from their goal of winning the league title. For the top four, they will have to beat Leipzig. If they play worse in a few games, I'm almost sure we won't see them in the UCL next year.

That is the biggest worry for Dortmund fans this season, that their beloved club is losing the potential to appear in the UCL next season. Regardless of their luck this season in getting through the UCL group phase, in the Bundesliga they should also be able to achieve the same good balance. A situation that is rarely experienced by Dortmund, because usually they appear consistent and compete closely in the hunt for trophies with Bayern Munchen, we can take an example like last season. Stuttgart and Leipzig will continue to try to assert their position in the top four, because they also want to experience the atmosphere of the UCL next season.

Dortmund have to do something, I mean looking for a solution in the transfer window if they want to appear consistently, using the existing players alone, which in my opinion is not enough to compete in the second half of the season. I think they don't really understand that this season Bundesliga competition is very different from previous seasons, if they hope something good will come without trying for it, then they will sleep for a long time this season just dreaming.

We've always competed with Bayern, but this season feels different. The team's inconsistency worries me, especially with Bundesliga competition heating up. We lost key players and made it through the UCL group stage, but domestic performance matters. I think our UCL hopes for next season are in risk if we dont start scoring soon, especially in these "easier" games. Its about adjusting and strengthening, not just staying up.

Dortmund has managed and used players well in the past, but this season is a different challenge. The transfer market requires proactive, even aggressive, board and coach action. We need new players to energize the team. If we keep things the same, we may struggle more next season. In this crucial moment, we must move decisively.

Currently Dortmund may seem like they are having a bad time with their performance so far and it's almost looking like they will not be able to make bit to the next UCL because even in the bundesliga they are literally struggling to get to top four which is one sure guarantee o securing a spot at the next UCL.

Borussia Dortmund have not won a game in six matches in all competition. So I agree that they have not been putting up a good performance currently. Six positions in the Bundesliga and a Champions League second-round qualification is not an awful performance for a team that is not as rich as other top clubs in Europe. The club still has the potential and opportunity to make it to the top four and I think that Edin Terzić's focus will be to win the games against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League second round.

Quote

Still drawing with minimal losses is still a sigh of hope that they have still got some good chances of improvement, their next four fixtures doesn't seem like tough Ones which I personally see as an opportunity to be able to make up for the draw down they have had all this while so it's very possible they can get back if they are able to win all four games that a guaranteed 12 points which will definitely help them secure a spot at the top four positions on the table before the season ends so there's definitely still much hope for Dortmund if only they brace up at the time.

It seems that the management of the club understands that the club needs to do more if they will at least quality for the Champions next season and also make some impact in the currency campaign this is why they have just appointed Nuri Şahin and Sven Bender as assistants to coach Edin Terzić. Let's see how this addition will contribute to the results in the coming games.

Of course Real Madrid prefers to extend the contract with Carlo Ancloti because they feel his coaching style is suitable and by extending Real Madrid there is no need to adapt again to a new coach, after all Real Madrid has become an important part of Carlo Ancloti because this coach prefers to extend his contract and refuses coaching the Brazilian national team. Xabi Alonso is a good coach but because Xabi Alonso does not have as much experience as Carlo Ancloti, Real Madrid prefers to keep their coach.

Yes, Xabi current weakness is that he cannot bring Leverkusen to the title, but if Xabi Alonso is able to bring Leverkusen to the title. Xabi will show that his talent is like that of an experienced coach, but in my opinion, Xabi is a very good coach because even though he is still young, his coaching style following developments and making Leverkusen a team that is currently feared like Bayern Munich.

I can understand why they would prefer something like that, but they also need to act quicker if they want to get someone as good as Xabi. I mean 2026 is not that much further down the line but also quite a long time. Anyone who thinks that Xabi would still be managing Leverkusen in 2026-2027 season must be kidding, he is good enough that if he finishes this season like this, would mean that the entire world would be watching him next season, trying to get him maybe even during the season itself.

Look at United for example, do they not have the money for it? Of course they have the money for it so they could do anything, and for that to make sense, we are talking about a situation where Xabi may get the job during the season next season. Real has done something risky with this move, great for them on short term, but not great for long term.

I really liked Xabi's game intelligence even when he was a football player. It seems that he is also successful in managing. It could have been an important step in his career at Real Madrid, but they wanted to extend the contract with their successful coach Ancelotti. This must have been welcomed by Bayer Leverkusen because if Xabi had an offer, I think he would also want to go to Real Madrid.

But I would have loved if this deal had played out, No doubt, Ancelotti is a very good manager and have had an incredible achievement with Real Madrid football club, both during his first stay and present stay in Madrid, But seeing a new manager like Xabi, take up the job with a different tactics other than what we've known Madrid with under Ancelotti would have made sense, Maybe Xabi would bring a new glory to Madrid looking at his performance currently in Bayern Leverkusen.

For now, I think it would be unethical for us to discuss speculation about Xabi Alonso's future with Madrid because Madrid's future will still be handled by Ancelotti and a team as big as Bayern Munich certainly won't want to miss out on a great coach like Xabi Alonso (Xabi Alonso has really become a schick and has become an extraordinary striker, his selling price has increased).
Leverkusen succeeded in winning big 4-0 over Bochum and currently Leverkusen is 4 points ahead of Bayern and if Leverkusen's victory continues then we will see them succeed in becoming Bundesliga champions this season, Leverkusen's opponent next year is Augsburg, I'm sure they will also win easy in this match, leverkusen is truly unstoppable.

Yes, maybe it is too early for us to speculate about where Cabi wants to go because this will be a long season for Cabi while he is at Leverkusen. Even if Leverkusen is successful in achieving achievements in the UEL and can maintain its position in first place in the points table, I am sure that Cabi will be in the next season. Very enthusiastic about moving to higher competition in the Champions League and will try to win a new history in the Champions League next season.
This season Leverkusen seems to have had great luck in being able to bring in a coach like him who has a strategy that is always right and can control all Leverkusen players to be able to perform solidly.
So linking Cabi with Real Madrid is no longer valid because Madrid already has the right choice.
In the upcoming match against Augsburg there will definitely be an opportunity for Leverkusen to get 3 points but we as bettors please be careful before betting because it could end in a draw.
But what is certain is that Leverkusen is trying not to lose points and provide a large gap to Bayern Munich.

Dortmund is in the 5th position right now. The past few weeks have been pretty bad for them. In the last 5 matches, they have only 1 win. They have 3 draws and one loss other than that. That is definitely not good enough from them. Now if I were asked if they will be able to finish in the top four or not, I would probably say that it is possible, and maybe even probable. But the way they are performing right now, it doesn't seem like they will be able to have consistent performance in recent future. So I wouldn't be so confident about them as well.

They have failed to win any of their last 6 matches in all competitions which is very bad for a team that almost won the league last season although they have not lost many matches but they draw too much and it is the reason they don’t find themselves in the top 4. Dortmund are better than this and they need query themselves and do better because we all thought after a wonderful display and challenge for the title last season we would see a more determined team that will try and win the league again. They are far from winning the league but they can try and secure a spot in the top 4 to qualify for the next season champions league.

Title race is not possible anymore for the dortmund with the current situation. Dortmund has a very big gap toward the leader of bundesliga right now. The thing that makes me doubt how can dortmund perform better in UCL rather than in bundesliga?
Is there an important factor that was also affecting the outcome of dortmund in UCL? It is still struggling in the bundesliga which makes me feel doubt about the dortmund. Terzic is having a very difficult task to be done.

I meant that if dortmund will fail to qualify for UCL next season and this is going to be another disaster for the club. Dortmund really needs to keep up with the top club in the league. I never thought dortmund would be success in UCL but it's failed in the league. Despite the fact that the bundesliga season is not yet over and we are currently in the middle of it, this is sufficient evidence to suggest that Dortmund is still struggling with inconsistency.

Dortmund are one top teams of the Bundesliga who usually are consistent in coming to the UCL. Yes they’ve been inconsistent this season after losing most of its key players but one sweet thing is that in that inconsistency, they manage to go through to the last 16 of the UCL, which is one thing i love about this team, they always manage their players and use what they got to go forward in the UCL.

Now they’re lurking away from UCL spot next season in their domestic league; with the likes of Stuggart and Liepzig a little above them. Well not a cause for too much worry because this Dortmund squad has the experience and can get back to UCL spot. But one thing the board and coach should try out is to recruit new players who would help this team look fierce else they’ll find it more difficult next season.

That close competition you are talking about ended without success for 11 years in a row and Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title every single year. It sometimes looked close, but Dortmund never won it. Now it is beginning to get serious for Dortmund and they have four games now that are rather easy and should be won. If they don't at least get 10 points out of those four games, I doubt that this is going to end with the qualification for the Champions League this year. They have all the hard games towards the end of the second half of the season and I doubt that they will win a lot of those games against teams like Stuttgart, Bayern or Leverkusen.

In general I think Dortmund's performance this season is poor and they should play much better. Nevertheless, the gap at the top is just as small as the gap at the bottom, because 6 points separate them from a Champions League place and that is absolutely possible to reach. But I don't think they will make it.

maybe things will be better in 2024. because the dortmund coach will now have a good co-coach . assistant coach Edin Terzić will be Nuri Sahin from January 2024.
Nuri Sahin has been coach at Turkish club Antalyaspor since October 2021 . now he is to support Edin Terzić . and ex-professional Sven Bender is also part of the coaching staff at borussia dortmund with immediate effect . i am now curious to see if there will be better results for dortmund in january and february . otherwise the club will not qualify for the champions league . there are still a lot of points to be won in the next 18 games . but i think dortmund will be in 2nd-4th place at the end of the season

Edin Terzic must realize this mistake and he must continue to improve so that he can compete for the top four because otherwise next season they will not be in the UCL League. Indeed, the league is still long but changes must still be made by Edin Terzic to be able to bring Dortmund back on track. as it should be.

There are still some situations that do make Dortmund experience problems in terms of performance in the Bundesliga but on the other hand, I realize that this is quite natural considering that at the beginning of the season the focus of the defenders did not really prioritize the Bundesliga as the first choice because their focus was still in the Champions League especially the situation was not favorable because they were in a hell group where anything could happen even though they were very good at the top of the standings and qualified as group winners.

Now with their qualification for the Round of 16 phase it is actually very good for Dortmund and at this time their schedule will not be too busy so I think they will try to prioritize the Bundesliga this time.
Actually, I still feel that Dortmund's scheme this season and last season is no different and now we just need to see whether their plan which is always the same every season will work well again or not.

Arsenal and Real Madrid might be good options for De Ligt considering that both teams are currently experiencing a central defender crisis and if there are offers from these two teams, De Ligt should be able to consider them. It will make him feel the passion for playing football again and will also make him at his peak performance.

I don't understand very well, if he moves to Madrid or Arsenal regarding the UCL. Can he play with a new club after playing with his old team in the UCL? I hope if he chooses Real Madrid then he can play. Because Madrid really need CB at the moment. De Ligt's experience in the UCL is very good, he is also young. As for Arsenal, they already have a CB and a good defense. It is proven that they have only conceded 18 goals in the EPL and that is 2nd best after Liverpool conceding 16 goals.

It is a shame that De Ligt rarely gets the trust of the Munich coach, even though De Ligt's game determination is quite capable at domestic league and Champions League level.
He was played more in the second half by Tuchell. I think Arsenal will compete with Real Madrid to get De Ligt's services, considering that Madrid is currently being hit by a storm of center back players.

Every player have their prime and fading phase in football. There was a time Ajax players in previous season was outstanding in major competition, the UEFA Champions League precisely. Every elite club was trying harder to create connections with the players, some succeeded in leaving Ajax while some choose to stay. There's this Ajax young player that I admire his style of football, he's fierce and talented but today he's not having any good moments in football. Matthjis De Ligt is a good player and not included in the starting line-up for Bayern Munich games, does that make sense?

But I would have loved if this deal had played out, No doubt, Ancelotti is a very good manager and have had an incredible achievement with Real Madrid football club, both during his first stay and present stay in Madrid, But seeing a new manager like Xabi, take up the job with a different tactics other than what we've known Madrid with under Ancelotti would have made sense, Maybe Xabi would bring a new glory to Madrid looking at his performance currently in Bayern Leverkusen.

Ancelotti has been a great coach at Madrid and has helped the team achieved so much already, he has been able to help the team achieve all that which he has achieved over a period of time because he has been at Madrid for More than two seasons already so they have gotten used to his style of coaching such that achieving a lot with him isn't difficult no more.

Xabi on the other hand in Leverkusen has been able to help the team achieve a better form within the period of time he has been at Leverkusen amd yet to achieve a trophy so I don't think moving to another team almost immediately is a good move, it could be detrimental to his career because so far the only thing he has achieved is helping Leverkusen get a better form and no trophy yet to show for it, I know they will say at Madrid it's very promising he will win trophies but have you considered the conditions at both places will not be the same as there are so many factors that will influence the quality of his results and as a young coach who's career is still at the start, he has to be careful to making sure he it doesn't get ruined even before it starts.

Of course Real Madrid prefers to extend the contract with Carlo Ancloti because they feel his coaching style is suitable and by extending Real Madrid there is no need to adapt again to a new coach, after all Real Madrid has become an important part of Carlo Ancloti because this coach prefers to extend his contract and refuses coaching the Brazilian national team. Xabi Alonso is a good coach but because Xabi Alonso does not have as much experience as Carlo Ancloti, Real Madrid prefers to keep their coach.

Yes, Xabi current weakness is that he cannot bring Leverkusen to the title, but if Xabi Alonso is able to bring Leverkusen to the title. Xabi will show that his talent is like that of an experienced coach, but in my opinion, Xabi is a very good coach because even though he is still young, his coaching style following developments and making Leverkusen a team that is currently feared like Bayern Munich.

At the break of the new year season, Leverkusen managed to become number 1. It seems that they are the main competitor of Bayern Munich for the championship. The league is off and resumes in 2 weeks. I read a rumor in the Indonesian media that Arsenal wants to buy a Munich defender. Arsenal want De Ligt to add strength to the defense. De Ligt was a regular choice last season and is starting to get left out.
Tuchell prefers Kim paired with Upamecano. This season he has started many games from the reserves. At 24 years old De Ligt is a potentially strong defender. Long-term progress is certainly an interesting option. But I'm not sure Munich will let him go. He is the best asset with his age and current condition.

It is a shame that De Ligt rarely gets the trust of the Munich coach, even though De Ligt's game determination is quite capable at domestic league and Champions League level.
He was played more in the second half by Tuchell. I think Arsenal will compete with Real Madrid to get De Ligt's services, considering that Madrid is currently being hit by a storm of center back players.

After being successful with Ajax and Juventus, De Ligt seems to be experiencing a lack of playing minutes and at Bayern Munich he is now only a substitute. I think it is a shame that the talent he has is only a display on the bench and Thomas Tuchel seems reluctant to put his trust in him. If De Ligt wants more regular minutes then he should immediately leave and forget Bayern Munich because that is not good enough for the future of a player his age.

Arsenal and Real Madrid might be good options for De Ligt considering that both teams are currently experiencing a central defender crisis and if there are offers from these two teams, De Ligt should be able to consider them. It will make him feel the passion for playing football again and will also make him at his peak performance.
