PORTRAIT OF THE WEEK Honor to Germany and Borussia Dortmund this week. Widely top of the Bundesliga, the club finally revives the Ruhr with its glorious past. Its ups and motivated pumped go next Saturday in Munich to challenge the defending champion. Handover?
Weidenfeller - Pisczek, Santana, Hummels, Schmelzer - Bender, Sahin - Götze, Lewandowski, Grosskreutz - Barrios. These names sound bad, are anti-sexy as possible and tell you probably do anything. And yet it is yet aligned formation by Borussia Dortmund last weekend against St. Pauli (2-0). An eleven who prances so insolent head of the German Bundesliga last November and even has a comfortable margin of ten points over Bayer Leverkusen at eleven days of the end of the championship. Bayern, third, leading him to thirteen lengths.
Westfalenstadion deceased's audience - the stage Signal Iduna Park is now called because of the sponsoring insurance company of the same name - takes himself so to dream of a new consecration, the last title back to nine years ago (2002). Since then, the legendary German club had a long journey through the desert. Far from the glory of a Champions League gleaned in 1997 (Even Chapi, his fat ass and his hook was the magical part is that if this date!), Giant Ruhr experienced the agony Financial. Near collapse between 2003 and 2005, it is still pulled and rebuilt gradually. Jürgen Klopp, a coach-builder, erected since 2008 the foundations of the current team. And it seems he found the recipe: a cocktail made of youth and carelessness and sometimes a little pie anyway.
This season, the average age of the formations lined by Jürgen Klopp indeed painfully than 23 years. Peak, the Paraguayan Lucas Barrios made even figure veterinary top of its 26 years! Full of young talent base and kneaded, like Sven Bender (21 years), Kevin Grosskreutz (22 years), Mats Hummels (22 years), Marcel Schmelzer (23) and Mario Götze (18 years) all Joachim Loew summoned Manschaft called in to challenge Italy on February 9. Matthias Sammer, technical director and national icon in Dortmund has even the least of these international Mario Götze, as "one of the greatest talents in the history of German football." Oh my! He is young, it is good, you can expect Arsene Wenger eyeing top but Chelsea finally snatch with millions!
But Borussia Dortmund is not just to guard his young Germans. Revelation of this year, Japanese Shinji Kagawa also embodies the insolent success of yellow and black. Recruited for three nothing (350,000 euros) last summer from the Cerezo Osaka, a young man of 21 years has fully adapted to become unavoidable. Injured during the semi-finals of the Asian Cup of Nations in January, it will however be absent for the remainder of the season and will miss the trip from Munich. A shock to follow on Saturday at 18:30! For the string, you get by! As for the article in full, it is to discover in the future Nouvelliste.
