Next up, Dortmund take on Hoffenheim. This will be an interesting match, because our record against them (short as it is) doesn’t read to overwhelmingly, we have never won against them at home, the last three games have all been draws. However, we are in good form, so I hope that we can break that record. The game will receive added tension do to the actions of Hoffenheim who tryed to stop Dortmund fans singing disparaging songs about Dietmar Hopp, the Hoffenheim benefactor, by means of a high- pitched sound. Lets hope that this time it all stays civil.

Dortmund started the Rückrunde very well, hammering an out- of- sorts HSV by five goals to one. Since Bayern lost against Gladbach and Those-that-shall-no-be-named won against Stuttgart, this means that they, together with Dortmund, all sit equal points at the top of the table, Bayern just edging it because of their superior goal- difference, though we managed to reduce that quite a bit. Gladbach is only one point behind the leading trio, meaning that we are set up for a very intriguing title race indeed.

The Wintercup (hosted by the Düsseldorf Stadtwerke) took place on the 15th of January. The teams that took place in this competition were Fortuna Düsseldorf, Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Borussia Dortmund of course. Considering that the Bundesliga is about to start up again this weekend, this was a great opportunity to test match- fitness and also check out a few of the other Bundesliga teams.

Coming out of my winter hibernation to update this blog, because we have seen a transfer that is really quite something: Borussia Dortmund has signed Marco Reus, who will join in the summer. The young attacking midfielder (22 years) was rumoured to be highly sought after by other clubs, particularly Bayern Munich, so this really is something of a coup.

Unfortunately I did not have time to see Dortmund play this weekend so I can’t say much to the match. Dortmund played against Kaiserslautern and came away with a 1-1 draw. A bit of a disappointing result, considering that Kaiserslautern have struggled so far this season. Since Bayern won against Stuttgart, that sees them pull ahead at the top of the Bundesliga table again.

News broke today that Borussia Dortmund have signed Leonardo Bittencourt, and he will join us in the summer. Bittencourt is a 17 year old midfielder from Energie Cottbus and regarded as a great talent. He is a German- Brasilian dual- national and plays for the German U 18. Of course this is a signing for the future, and there is always a danger that young players don’t work out on the highest level. However, considering our recent success with players from the second division (Bender, Leitner) I am relatively optimistic that Bittencourt will work out. The transfer fee is said to be around 3 Million Euro.

Dortmund won the derby against Schalke 2-0! Since Bayern lost against Mainz, we are now tabletoppers, ahead of Borussia Mönchengladbach on goal difference. Gladbach is up next weekend, tasty…

Well, I guess we can say “Good Bye” to our international ambitions this season. Dortmund lost against Arsenal and because Olympiakos won against Marseille, we are fourth in our group. Even Europaleague looks difficult to achieve at this stage. For that to happen we would need to win by four (!) clear goals against Marseille to win the head- to- head, because Marseille have a better goaldifference than us. If we want to progress in the Champions league we have to hope that at the same time Arsenal wins against Olympiakos while we beat Marseille by four clear goals. Not very likely to happen.
