    Group looking to make a documentary on BVB. Article also mentions the book on BVB fans has been published.

    Selected excerpts

    The project to honour Borussia Dortmund's founder
    by Stephan Uersfeld

    Zum Wildschutz. A pub just off Dortmund's Borsigplatz, on a street leading towards the gates of the Westfalenhutte, Dortmund's biggest employer. Smokestacks signal the way to the steel works. It is a cold and cloudy day. A group of 18 men have gathered inside the pub to discuss the foundation of a football club. It is late December and outside the vicar is banging against the door to try and prevent the inevitable. The vicar does not succeed and inside the pub the 18 men are left looking for a name for their new baby.

    They agree upon Ball Spiel Verein and high on beers, only five days before Christmas, they decide that the local brew shall be the eponym. They order a new round of beers and toast to Ball Spiel Verein Borussia........

    Gruszecki, a studied historian and a leading figure in Dortmund's fan scene, is one of three Borussia Dortmund die-hards who have now set off for a journey that could end in one of the most interesting football documentaries in a long time. "Am Borsigplatz geboren -- Franz Jacobi und die Wiege des BVB" (Born at the Borsigplatz -- Franz Jacobi and the cradle of BVB) sets out to take a look at the man who gave birth to one of Germany's biggest football clubs.

    Gruszecki is joined by the author Gregor Schnittker -- who only recently published a book about the history of the Borussia Dortmund fans, co-written with the one and only Uli Hesse -- and Marc Mauricius Quambusch, a TV producer and also a passionate Borussia Dortmund supporter and fan activist, who has made a name for himself as the leading figure behind the "Kein Zwanni" campaign, fighting the price hikes in German football. ......


    The trio is now looking for the help of all Borussia Dortmund fans in their quest to generate at least 120,000 euros to finance the project. Via a crowdfunding platform they have until September 5 to collect the money, with a funding goal of 250,000 euros. Over the course of only a couple of days, the three Dortmund fans have already acquired some 16,000 euros. "We are knocked over," Gruszecki says. "It's money from the upper floor of Dortmund's office and from a 17-year-old fan from the Sudtribune. We are supported by all walks of life. Incredible!"

    If by early September enough funds have been raised, the filmmakers hope to create a unique documentary that will be fundamental for all Borussia fans, today and in the future. "We hope to create a film that could also be shown on the History Channel," Gruszecki says. Depending on the actual funds raised, the format of the documentary will be developed. "If we reach the funding goal of 250,000 euros, then we will be able to shoot some scenes as re-enactment and through animation can breathe new life into places long gone."

    If I am translating correctly our website indicated Lewandowski is expect to join training Sunday in Dortmund. Does anyone know if he is planning on attending?

    Klopp said :
    "When everything is finally clear [in pre-season], we will change up the system a bit. Ideally, our style will change so that we concede fewer goals."

    If he really improves us defensively, it will be great. We need that.

    Anyone want to speculate as to what the "change-up" in the "system" is?

    I think he knows it includes conceding less, but "how"...that is were Kloppo is going to have to earn his salary.

    I'm believe he has an idea...a vision. Let's see if h can execute it.

    Regardless, I am happy to see him focus on this.

    Count me among those as nervous thinking about Klopp "tinkering." Although, like everyone else, I'm relieved.

    I wonder how Klopp is planning to get away from possession football on a cold Friday evening in Braunschweig. In general 3/4 of the Bundesliga clubs will treat Dortmund with the 10 men in-front of the penalty box method.

    The game of quick transitions works great when you're 1-0 up but somehow you'll have to score the 1-0 and the opponents will give away possession that's for sure...

    That's what I'm more interested in to be honest.

    I think even the house idiot knows we have to concede fewer goals. How? This isn't rocket science either man. I believe this is why we spent 10M on a guy who is going to be no more than a rotational defender (Sokratis). I am sure Klopp pretty much knows how to go about it. But HE doesn't have to execute anything. His players must execute the game plan. Defensively, I think we will do pretty much what we've been doing. I hope the only major thing he does differently is have Schmelzer "stay home" just a bit more. Let's see what PEA & Gundogan/Sahin can do offensively on that left side.

    As far as Klopp "focusing" on this, again, only a fool would not have been aware of it. I tried to deny it, but in the end, it was undeniable. I just hope it is not a "singular focus." We have far more to get worked out, not a great amount of time to do it in and changing circumstances. We will see just how good Klopp is with adjustments.

    "smithfan" just wrote this about an important area for us..........

    "(BVB II striker Erik) Durm has played on the RB position in every test game of the reserve team too, he also played as a rightback vs Sat1 D-Promis. It seems like BVB is trying to find a new position for him."


    As we were writing about this, Durm apparently scored a goal too.

    Maybe he could be our stand-in/backup answer at right back until Piszczek returns?
