If anyone wants to ask about which German clubs are the most popular, then the answer will be immediate and unambiguous - the Munich "Bavaria" and the Dortmund "Borussia". The composition of these two teams is really eminent and powerful. Well, it's worth to tell in detail about "Borussia", as "Bavaria" is more popular, and more is known about it.

Briefly about the history and achievements

Dortmund "Borussia", whose composition will be considered later, is a club with a long history. It is a team founded in the distant 1909, on December 19. Accordingly, the club has long been in a hundred years! For all these long years the team has won numerous awards. For example, she won the German title eight times. Even in 1956, "Borussia", whose lineup was not as serious as it is now, became the owner of this trophy.

Also six times the club won the title of vice-champion of the Bundesliga and five times - the third place. The last time the achievement in this championship was in 2014 - then "bumblebees" became vice-champions of Germany.

Three times they won the national cup, four times were finalists. The last one - in the past, 2015. Only lost then rivals.

Serious Trophies

The club won the German Super Cup six times (in 2014 - the last), and reached the final twice. And, finally, the Dortmund team is the champion of Westphalia! True, it was back in 1947.

If we talk about international achievements, then it is necessary to include the victory in the Champions League (1997), the Cup Winners' Cup (1966), the final in the UEFA Cup in 1993 and 2002 and the first place in the Intercontinental Cup in 1997 .

2016 year

"Borussia" composition today is quite strong. The team includes Roman Weidenfeller, Roman Birki and Hendrik Bonmann (goalkeepers), Pak Chu Ho, Neven Subotich, Mats Hummels, Marian Sarr, Matthias Ginter, Erik Durm (defenders), Marco Royce, Nuri Shahin, Shinji Kagawa, Moritz Leitner, Henryk Mkhitaryan (midfielders), Marvin Duksh, Andrian Ramos, Pierre-Emeric Obamahamyang (forwards) and many others. All listed players - this is only a small part of the players of the German team, not even half. But many, as one could understand, are well-known personalities. In particular, they show themselves well not only in club championships, but also in international tournaments. For example, in the World or European Championship. In general, it is thanks to this composition, "Borussia" can achieve certain heights.

Trainer

But not only thanks to talented players the club becomes titled. This is the great merit of the coach. To date, it is Thomas Tuhel. He is the coach of Borussia since 2015. Prior to that, for seven years the team was under the control of Jürgen Klopp. He did a lot for the team. So, for example, in 2010/2011 the club became the champion of Germany (for the first time after 2002!), And in the next season and completely designed the "golden double" (that is, the players won the title of champions of Germany and won the national Cup, beating 5: 2 Munich rival - "Bavaria"). In general, the contract Jürgen in 2013/2014 was extended until 2018. However, the club's results began to deteriorate, and at the end of 2015 it became known that Klopp was leaving his team. Now he trains Liverpool.

Thomas Tuchel started well. In the first match, "Borussia" beat the opponent with a score of 4: 0, the next game was completed with the same score. The third match under the control of Tuchel was also won. Even within the framework of the League of Europe, conceding in the match to the Norwegian "Odd", the team managed to break the score and score 4 goals. Thus, it was possible to achieve victory with the score 4: 3.

"Borussia" - a football club with great prospects. And we can only hope that under the leadership of the new coach the team will reveal its potential even more.
