"Sehr gute Bedingungen"

Wenn Borussia ab heute (Sonntag) im Trainingslager in Bad Lippspringe Quartier bezieht, ist es für die meisten eine Reise in die gar nicht so weit zurück liegende Vergangenheit.

How do you think you'll do this year Uwe?

[Borussia]

I hope we'll do well ... what means spot 15 in the end. I'm realistic enough to know that it won't be easy to keep the league ...

Regarding the team structure, I see many parallels to the KSC of last season ... what makes me optimistic that we'll manage to reach our goal! In contrast to the season 2006/2007, we have a real team again.


And we have a (young) "Fußballgott" who could make the difference to other teams. :-)

One other reason for optimism is that the home support will be fantastic. We have already had a record sale of season tickets. Given the larger size of the stadium compared with the old Bokelberg days, the team should also be doing well financially, which also means that adjustments to the team at the mid-season winter break will be possible and affordable. It is one reason the team was able to come back to the 1 BL in just one year this time. They had the money and the fan support. Some teams will not have that luxury. I am hoping for a spot between 10th and 13th.

That's right.

I thought that Christian & Jos would sign 1-2 more players this summer (an experienced RB and an offensive midfielder) ... but it seems that they trust Tobias Levels & Sebastian Schachten and Sascha Rösler, Sumaila Coulibaly & Alex Baumjohann (a big talent) on these positions.

Here's our current squad for next season:

I'm curious whether we'll change the 4:4:2 system to a 4:2:3:1 or 4:3:3 after Gal Alberman's signing. He and Patrick Pauuwe could become our midfield core ... but they probably can't play together in a 4:4:2.

It's always great to start with a home game as a newly promoted team.



Btw: We won a friendly against Arminia Bielefeld 2:1 (our youngsters Lamidi and Marin scored):
