Dortmund are aiming for the Bundesliga title for the ninth time in their history and for the first time since the 2011-2012 season.
The German Bundesliga exit of Borussia Dortmund, six points behind Bayern Munich, opened the door to questions and hopes about the ability of the yellow and black teams to break the local domination of their Bavarian rivals and to deny them the seventh title of the Bundesliga.
Despite this difference, Bayern Munich has confidence in its ability to win a new title. "That's what we all want in Munich," said Croatian coach Niko Kovac on Saturday before the Bundesliga stopped during a winter break until 18 January.
The victory over Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 at the end of the fifth round of Bayern Munich last week allowed them to take second place, three points behind Borussia Moenchengladbach, down ahead of Dortmund 1-2.
But Dortmund is looking forward to winning the title for the first time in seven years. After a good performance in the stage, we can draw the following five things:
Avoid the crisis
The 47-year-old has been in power for six months and seems to have overcome the crisis that threatened to oust him after Bayern fell to sixth place after a setback that started with a 2- 0 to Hertha Berlin end of September. In the next stage then at home against Mönchengladbach (0-3).
The losers were angry at stars such as Thomas Muller, Mates Homles, Dutchman Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, dissatisfied with the coach. After losing 2 to 3 in November in Dortmund, Bayern drew 3 to 3 at home against newcomer Fortuna Dusseldorf. Kovac has become more threatened than ever before reducing his Benfica victory in the Champions League by 5 to 1. , The severity of the pressure on him.
"The Kovacs must not forget that we lost six points to three lower-ranked teams," said club president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, referring to a draw in Augsburg, Freiburg and Dusseldorf.
Bayern Kovac gave another chance, and the coach seems to be the best.
Dortmund is halfway
For the first time since 2012, Bayern was not winter champion and Dortmund was able to catch the light of the title in the last tunnel of the League.
Team captain Marco Rios (who scored 11 goals this season) insisted the road was long: "We only ate half the cake."
Despite his injury, the newcomer to Dortmund leads Spain's Paco Alcacer, 25, of Maara, who leads the scorers with 12 goals in 12 games.
The loan, after scoring the Spanish striker in each of the first five games, has turned into a permanent contract and also scored after signing the new contract the goal of the victory over the Bayern (3-2) in November.
Dortmund will face an ongoing test in the coming months to deny Bayern the seventh title of Topia.
British exports
Jadeun Sancho has revealed the best young player in the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old has played a role in Dortmund's last nine goals, scoring two goals, making three badists and being a pbading source for the other four.
The former England champion, City, does not summarize by himself the success of British exports in the Bundesliga. In addition to Sancho, Reese Nielsen, 19, scored six goals for Hoffenheim, who loaned him to Arsenal after having had few opportunities in the Premier League.
The surprise of Mönchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach enters the winter break in third place and was surprised by her manager, Dieter Hicking.
"It's exciting to be where we are with 33 points," said the latter after his loss to Dortmund at the opening of the seventeenth stage.
French striker Hbadan Belaya and Belgian Thurgane Hazar (9 goals apiece) are the heart of Munchengladbach, while his solid defense contributed to the record win of eight consecutive victories (scoring 23 goals and conceding just three).
Munchengladbach has an impressive defense of all coaches.
Coach Lucien Favre, well known for his training from 2011 to 2015, said his players were "too strong to be defended.
The only shock for home Mönchengladbach against Borussia Park was a five-point drop against Bayer Leverkusen in the second round of the Cup on 31 October.
Werner Key Leipzig
Leipzig, the champions of last season, are fourth and compete for the Champions League after being absent this season, relying on international striker Timo Werner.
Werner, aged 22, was in front when he scored the second goal in a 3-2 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Werder has 11 goals and is third in scoring with Dortmund Royce, with a goal ahead of Croatia's Luka Jović (Eintracht Frankfurter) and Alcacer.
Werner's recovery signs after the disappointing performance of Germany at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he lost the title in the first round.
Werder is part of a promising young German team, including Leroy Sannet (Manchester City) and Serg Gnapri (Bayern Munich), who will form the backbone of coach Joachim Loew in the Euro 2020 qualifying rounds. from next March.
