What is the quality of Dortmund's new signings? Manchester United fans must have something to say. Since the rise of Dortmund, Manchester United's influence in Westphalia has not been low, and there is a tendency to compete with Bayern, but the people they bought in Dortmund are really not very useful: Shinji Kagawa, who once won the Bundesliga MVP, was not suitable for Manchester United, but he finally won the Premier League championship; European assist king Mkhitaryan switched to Manchester United, and his unsuccessful resume can also be attributed to the unsuitable rhythm; As for Jadon Sancho, Manchester United fans know everything......
The road to buying people is not smooth, Dortmund does not have much intention of buying from Manchester United, the Hornets only eat grass at Old Trafford, and the players taken from Manchester United are probably only Shinji Kagawa who is recycled at a low price, and Sancho who is on loan.
But next door to Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund's business is clearly better: the two teams were in the same group of death in 11-12 and sparkled in the knockout rounds of the Champions League in 20-21, but that did not prevent the two clubs from having a good relationship.
The relationship between the two teams in the transfer market can probably be traced back to the time when Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City. At that time, Pep Guardiola's interest in Gundogan was no secret, and after the contract with Dortmund ended, Manchester City also acquired the Germany midfielder for almost a cabbage price, and since then, through the transfer of young talent Sancho, Manchester City and Dortmund have established a good relationship.
Since then, the personnel turnover between the two teams has become more and more frequent, Manchester City signed Dort player Haaland, and the cabbage price won the transfer of Akanji, which made Begilstein completely raise his eyebrows. As for Dort, they can also buy from Manchester City's young players, after they added Manchester City's academy Giltens, this season in order to get Manchester City fullback Jan Couto at a low price, Dortmund also took the path of loan plus a forced buyout in the second year - Manchester City agreed to this loan, but also helped Dortmund close the score.
After the era of Jurgen Klopp and Tuchel has passed, Dortmund has a tendency to become a big club, and Manchester City are undoubtedly one of the best business partners for the Hornets: in the past two years, Manchester City have gradually shed their reputation as local tycoons, but they are willing to spend a lot of money on quality players. In Ittihad, because the competition is too fierce, many young players have left the team, and Dort, who focuses on the development of young players, has become the favorite target of many players.
In terms of style, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City also have a lot of similarities: both teams have attacking DNA, attacking players focus on ball-handling talent, and defensive players have to face a lot of one-on-one players. This quality also allows many players on both sides to be plug-and-play after switching owners, and Akanji, who has almost become a big colander in Dortmund, can even play as a main player in Manchester City......
And after taking Jan Couto, Dortmund's operation continues: after signing Germany midfielder Gross from Brighton, Girassie and Anton from Stuttgart, according to Romano, it is only a matter of time before center forward Phil Kruger joins West Ham United - the new season, the Hornets will have a major reshuffle, and after a setback in the Bundesliga last season, the Hornets clearly want to change their way of life.
