What they have done in the last season is about what they did in the seasons before as well. i mean the overall result. But when their goal is to finally overturn Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga, the result has to be much better this time and I say much better because I don't believe that Bayern will underdeliver again like they did last season. Often times when Bayern got into danger or their titles got into danger, the response was that they became much better afterwards. And it would be nothing but a surprise if they have the same chaos again. Therefore, if Dortmund wants the top of the table, there can't be any excuses in any of the games that are a must win game on paper. They have to meet the expectations then.
That's their business and how they earn money for their team. Maybe their first goal is to earn money and just be on top of the table to get the champions league ticket.
Been more than ten years since we didn't see Dortmund win the Bundesliga title and from what we can see they are not even trying hard for it.
In a football club money is very important because club finances can make the club stronger by buying qualified players.
This happened to Dortmund maybe because they really wanted and focused on the Champions League which is a very valuable League for any club.
But if you think about it correctly, I'm also not sure that Dortmund can have that title because their opponent is another big club that is far more powerful.
For the Bundesliga itself, Dortmund is still lagging behind Bayern Munich and this should be a lesson for Dortmund so that in the future they can focus on the Domestic League first before aiming to win a trophy in another, higher league.
@tusandii we have held this discussion many times and each season they have repeated the same mistakes i.e. selling their best player’s and now with Jude gone I wonder how will they compete in the Bundesliga. Furthermore unless they stop selling and buy a ready made superstar this season I doubt that we will see them win the Bundesliga this season too and I guess that means Bayern will comfortably win the Bundesliga again.
