Some do not really believe in this matches as a result worth using to rate a team for how they’re going to be performing when the season begins, but I don’t think it should be seen in that manner. This is a very important competition that any team that thrives and win in the competition will have a good record to their name as a team.
Borussia Dortmund needs to take this matches more seriously if they’re yet to and there is no reward for not putting effort and saying it’s not a worthy league of putting that much effort, when you lose to a team, it’s already in the records that you’ve lost to them before and will be used against you the next time you’re playing against them. This competition should be taken serious by all teams and it’s better for them for their new season start as a team while bringing up the lineups for the team.
Most of the teams in the world club cup are using it to prepare and strengthen their squad ahead of the incoming season as most of them struggled during the just concluded football season so this competition is more than just winning
Teams like Dortmund where not that fantastic so I believe that this competition will be used by Dortmund to see their areas of strength and weaknesses so am not concerned about Dortmund wining but how they are preparing ahead of the new season that is approaching
More precisely, some European teams will not take the competition seriously and only consider it as training new players and getting old players used to being able to unite with new players. Munich and Dortmund will definitely use new players at least once in the match and this is a way for the coach to see how the new players perform. But seeing Dortmund from several matches this time does look more serious even though it had previously ended in a draw.
