Niko Kovac success in bringing Dortmund to finish in the Champions League zone may be a sign that they will be able to perform better and more consistently next season. In addition, Dortmund has also shown its seriousness in building squad depth, by recruiting new players such as Jobe Bellingham, Yan Couto and Daniel Svensson. The efforts that have been made will probably make bettors believe that Dortmund can be relied on next season. I think Dortmund reputation in the Club World Cup can also be used as a reference to assess their readiness to face the competition next season.
They did really well as we were approaching the end of the season and that made them secure European competition. We all never expected them to turn things around that way because they had a very poor start and an inconsistent performance throughout the season, I guess it's never really over until it's over.
They have added a few talentbad u mentioned and I believe they are still working to bring in more players which I believe will help them in the coming seasons.
The FIFA Club World Cup is not really some serious competition that will bring out the best in players, teams are not performing well anymore and from how teams perform in it it is obvious that they are not so interested in it. Till season begins before I can rate them .
