I will say you’re right on this. We only use to know of Dortmund and Bayern Munich and when there’s a match between this two teams, it’s always full of excitement and intriguing moments. Dortmund have really lose their stance in the league and they’ll just have to be more careful not to get worse in the coming years. I see that their performance is kind of averagely good, so I think they can contend for the league title this season if they want to. Selling of good players for business is always their priority, but I think they can only hope for a better season ahead for themselves if they want to and not focus on the business oriented part of the club that’s trying to still their core moments in football.
This season Dortmund is still a team that every opponent must be wary of even though their orientation in business such as selling good players has not stopped at this time. However, considering that Dortmund can always produce other new players to be better, it can at least still give them good hope this season so it would be very reasonable if we put Dortmund in the league title race this season even though teams like Leverkusen must also be an important consideration for Bayern Munich and Dortmund this season.
No one can underestimate Borussia Dortmund, because as you said even though they prioritize business, they can still play well and can show that they will always be able to compete at the top even though they failed to become champions. There are always new young players coming who can make their game like usual even though they have sold some potential young players for money. I have to appreciate that they are one of the teams that are successful in creating or finding very potential young players. Although they are not the ones who enjoy the results, it cannot be denied that they are the ones who can carefully find the potential of a player. This is thanks to the astuteness of the talent scout team they have. I am actually looking forward to the new names that they will find next.
