Under Edin Terzić, Dortmund are ‘less sexy, more successful’, but a bigger test than Bremen lies ahead in England
A fifth Bundesliga win in a row, a clean sheet and a difficult task negotiated with calm and poise. So Borussia Dortmund’s players celebrated playfully in front of the Yellow Wall because they know these moments are fleeting and to be enjoyed. Particularly in their situation.
There were worthy landmarks and mixed feelings all round after Friday night’s victory over Werder Bremen. Julian Brandt had marked his 300th Bundesliga game with the only goal of it, lifting his finish over the advancing Michael Zetterer following Emre Can’s razor-sharp pass. The architect, though, was in no particular mood to stand back and admire his work. “I’ll be happy when I’m in bed,” he told DAZN, and in a Champions League week it is worth recalling how far Dortmund have evolved from the spreaders of continental joy Jürgen Klopp guided to the 2013 final.
