Borussia Dortmund: The Preview

The Bundesliga season is just a matter of days away, so it’s time to preview every side ahead of another exciting campaign.

Today… Borussia Dortmund

The Story of Last Season:

Few, if any, Bundesliga clubs had as loud of an off-season as Borussia Dortmund.

A new, and simultaneously old, manager returned, 7 talented players came through the door, and a completely refreshed atmosphere is immersing the Signal Iduna Park.

For the first time in a decade there’s a real argument that BVB can push FC Bayern for the Deutsche-Meisterschaft, but Edin Terzić won’t have it easy in the managerial dugout.

Not only is he inheriting the worst BVB defence since the 07/08 season, but he’s also been immediately hit with a major setback in the form of Sébastian Haller’s testicular cancer diagnosis.

How Terzić will cope with a structural rebuild and the loss of his key goalscorer just weeks before the season starts should prove once and for all if the 2021 Pokal triumph was a fluke, or if the 39-year old is the real deal in the managerial game.

The Star Player:

Jude Bellingham may be 19-years old, but the English midfielder plays with the confidence and influence of an established veteran with a decade of experience at the top.
