Borussia Dortmund: A club – and experience – like no other

  • hace 6 años
Top of the Bundesliga table with four wins from as many games, 15 goals scored and just three against: things could hardly be better for Borussia Dortmund at present.

Thomas Tuchel is off to a flying start in his reign as head coach, with his charges capturing the imagination through their swashbuckling attacking play combined with passion, a commitment to the collective and a willingness to work hard. Indeed, those core values have resonated with the Yellow-and-Black faithful, mirroring their own as a working-class club based in Germany’s industrial heartland, the Ruhr valley.

Without those attributes, Borussia may never have been founded in the first place. In 1909 a group of football-loving youngsters held a meeting to form a club after the church group they belonged to opposed them playing the game. ”We can take it no longer,” said Franz Jacobi, one of the founding members. “It is imperative that we create a club.”
