Axel Witsel already essential in Dortmund

This Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund will face Club Brugge. The opportunity is great to look into Axel Witsel. Who after pbading through the Chinese championship has lost none of his football. Only contrary. Our special envoy Eby Brouzakis was able to see it around the Stadium.

It was not won, however. Borussia has paid 20 million euros. For a 29-year-old who has played a year and a half in China, it's a huge amount. The septics were so numerous. And yet, a few months later, Axel Witsel became one of the leaders in the locker room. He is an indisputable holder. Sebastian Wrestling is a journalist for the daily Funke Media. He follows Borussia daily.

"Axel Witsel is one of the major transfers made by Borussia this summer. It is true that Borussia has disbursed the important sum of 20 million euros but he really became the boss here in Dortmund, in the midfield. He is really very strong physically. He is very good at the ball. He has already become a leader."

Borussia is a young team. Players are between 18 and 25 years old. His central position on the field, his experience, his 3 goals scored since the beginning of the season have finally convinced these most fervent critics. Today Manchester United wants it. But Borussia fans do not want to hear anything.

"He gets a lot of balls. He is very good in defense. And creatively, he's very strong too.""I like it since the World Cup. He played very well for Belgium. He left me a good impression. His transfer here is a good thing for him and his career."

We hear him, Witsel is worshiped here in Borussia. Club Brugge can measure it this Wednesday night.
