Ever since Singtel had stolen the popular English Premiership
from Starhub, I had been tuning in to the German Bundesliga from
the start of last season and I was masmerized by the standard and
quality of this league! Terrific atmosphere, fast-paced action and
physical football!
As good as the other teams might sound, nothing can be compared
to the newly crowned German champions coached by the animated
Jurgen Klopp. Under Klopp, Dortmund played a high-pressure, high
tempo swashbuckling attacking football similar to Arsenal
in the England. The average age of this team is only 24 and that
makes their achievement even more extraordinary.. There were bigger
teams like Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen which got steamrolled
by this young 'German machine' last season. Dortmund's pre-season
performances has been impressive and there is no reason why they
cannot defend the title although the challenge will be tough due to
the fierce competition posted by a wounded beast, Bayern Munich now
coached by Jupp Heynckes.
I will also be looking forward to watching Dortmund causing the
more established European teams all sorts of problems in the
Champions League!
Over time, I grew into a fan of Borussia Dortmund for the
expansive style of football they played and also their
tenacity. After doing a check, I found out that the only
existing German fan club is Bayern Munich and hence, I decided to
set up a Borussia Dortmund local fan club on facebook.
The German Bundesliga needs more support and attention here in
an English Premiership mad island of Singapore! Borussia Dortmund
and German fans, we need your support!!!!
