German Cup First Round
Monday 21st August 2017
osnatel-Arena

Osnabruck 0 - 2 Dortmund
Gotze, Lewandowski

MOTM: Mario Gotze

Another nice win to start the season off. I have youngsters which will be blooding in this year but they have potential to become world beaters. Some may say I have taken a risk by selling some good players. But I feel I have replaced them with players that will get us further. As the saying goes: He who dares, wins.

Second round draw:

Leverkusen v Dortmund

Friday 25th August 2017
Trolli Arena

Furth 1 - 2 Dortmund
Lewandowski (2)

MOTM: Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski becomes all time record scorer for Dortmund in the League with 136 goals.

We didn't play to our full standard but we still won, it is the start of the season and players still need time to find their feet. If we can win while the team is still gelling I am very happy and we still come away with the three points.

O.G, Di Maria

MOTM: Stefan de Vrij

A vital win today but yet again it was tight and we didn't look like we did. I hope we can foil together as soon as possible as teams will be looking us to stop winning the 5th Bundesliga in a row.

Raùl's 200th game in charge for Dortmund.

Stuttgart 0 - 2 Dortmund
Goretzka (2)

MOTM: Leon Goretzka

Brilliant result against one of our bogey teams. We look defensively solid now and have alot of direct dribblers with the ball which the defence look like they backpedal alot. For my 200th game in charge for Borussia Dortmund it was a very good result and marks a special occaision for me.

de Vrij, Schmelzer sent off

MOTM: Kurt Zouma

A bad result for us in the opening fixture, although not the worst I would have like to have got off to a winning start. We made hard work of the game and made it even harder when we went down to 10 men. We must put things right next game.

O.G.

MOTM: Stefan de Vrij

Yes we did win but I am utterly disappointed at our lack of goals. We need to create more chances to score. We have still won though so I cannot be too displeased. We also kept a clean sheet which is brilliant. Goretzka pulled his hamstring today and will be out for about 3 months.

Coface-Arena

Bender, Lewandowski, Di Maria (2)

MOTM: Mario Gotze

Another win, another slender win. I am not as impressed with my team as I was this time last season. We don't look our usual self and only winning by the odd goal. It may be harsh but I am getting the lads running all week as a single goal lead every game won't be enough when we come up against the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

A little better today, still not brilliant but better. We have won every game in the league but that is deceiving we have struggled along to the finish line. It will take time to gel but we need to have a big scoring margin and fast.

Well I cannot moan with any win against one of our main title contenders. We played a brilliant game and put Bayern to the sword.

Something which seemed impossible after the dreadful start in the first two games in the Champions League. We rode our luck today but defended with pride. We wanted it more than Lisbon and that extra passion got the three points for us today.

That is why you can never write us off. Kick the dog when it is down but it will always come back. Even with 10 men we managed to batter Werder Bremen. We are maintaining brilliant form and going into the new year it is the best thing to do.

Excellent! We needed this to prove to ourselves that the first result was a fluke. We still finish runners up in the group but winning our last four games we go in with every intention that we will beat whoever we are faced with. The lads are pumping with confidence recently and you can feel the vibes off them. The fans was a different class today and I would like to thank them for all their loyality thoughout the season.

A clean sheet and a vital goal. Hamburg was really really up for this and threw everything including the kitchen sink at us and we managed to withheld their barrage of attacks. I am really really happy with the lads this month after a dodgy start to the season they have been a credit to the club.

Galatasaray in the first knockout round. We have some revenge to catch up on.


Transfers:
View attachment 338562

In's
Benno Bergmann - Young lad who will go into the under 19's and stay there until ready. High hopes for the lad.


Out's

Kenneth Vermeer - 4.4m - Vitesse: Back up keeper and was getting chased up by my youth keeper who has cheap wages and years to develop. I think it is the right choice and would like to thank Kenneth for his services and helping out when called upon

Seydou Doumbia - 15m - Bolton: Playing second fiddle to Lewandowski all the time and he wanted first team football, when he was brought on he didn't deliver when required. 15M profit made on him and a big wage off the bill. A good bit of business yet again for the club.


I also received this before I was about to play my first game since the turn of the year.

View attachment 338563

I called Karl-Heinz Rummenigge personally and laughed the offer off. It was a stupid thing to do and he now looks like one of the biggest tools in football. The squad is full of aged players who are past it and the club is going nowhere. Also being one of Dortmunds biggest rivals it never was an option to accept in my head.

MOTM: Angel Di Maria

Made work harder for ourselves than what was needed. After being 3-0 up we went searching for more goals. Any other team would have shut up shop but it is in our DNA to destroy teams and let them know why we are top of the league. We still came away with the win though and I'm one happy person.

MOTM: Angel Di Maria

What a fantastic display from the lads out there. We worked as a team when we was reduced to 10 men after a two footed lunge from Adam was a rush of blood and stupidity but with maturity it won't happen again. We still managed to batter Leverkusen and should have had more which is very pleasing for us.

MOTM: Angel Di Maria

This is how to play football. We have the power to unlock any defence and this may just be our decision. A mammoth win against a brilliant set up Stuttgart team didn't know how to cope with us. I am truly proud of the lads and they have done the club proud and treat the crowd to a goal fest.

Five goals all came in the first half gave Mainz no chance and they look like they just want the season to end. All the players seem stripped of confidence and they don't want to play for the team on the shirt unlike us who in training this week all the lads put in 110% and it was hard to pick a team.

A little worrying that Robert isn't scoring but we are getting goals from elsewhere so it's not as big of a concern as it could be. We are still going strong and launching our assault on as many trophies as we can get but the big one is our target this year.

We was short of players today due to them on a international break at just the wrong time!!! We managed to win the game with the young regen Schauerte giving us a brace to win the game and progress to the Semi-Finals. We played very well without our main players and done ourselves proud.

Utterly disgraced. We have came off the back of a brilliant result against Galatasaray and we produce this. What a disgusting performance and I am disappointed in the effort. Robert hasn't scored in a while now and he must buck up his ideas should he want to be here next season.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

German Cup Semi Final
Wednesday 28th March 2018
Signal Iduna Park

Dortmund 0 - 1 Augsburg

MOTM: Stefan de Vrij.

We lost today due to some players seeing their bottom after the telling off from last game. They have sulked like a child and after the effort put in today, some players will never wear the shirt again and I have made that known to them. We have missed out on a final due to players not being able to take criticism. They will be offloaded next year anyway that is a sure promise.

Better performance to bounce back from the last result and the game before Valencia. The mentioned player before in the last match returned to my office and begged for my forgiveness, he told me about the love he has for this club and it was a minor mistake which he wanted to make up for. Who is the player? Only if he is involved shall we find out.

Not any passion shown by the players, unlike we used to in this derby. Nothing whatsoever, no heart, no effort we just looked like we wanted to roll over before the match and give Bayern the victory. Maybe we should have, it would have saved me an embarrassing 90 minutes on that touchline.

I cannot express my disappointment and anger at this. I am trying to hold it all in but I can't. I have had massive fall outs with some players as I believe not everyone has been giving 100% and it has been a stressful time for me here. We have crashed out at the Quarter finals yet again.
