Hello Hive gaming followers, how are you? I hope you are well. I've been interested in German football for the last few days. I watched Bayern München's and Borussia Dortmund's matches. Bayern's history and football achievements are far above Dortmund. Nevertheless, I was impressed by the rise of Dortmund under Klopp. Especially the importance they give to young players and the astronomical prices they sell them for. So today we will rebuild Dortmund in accordance with their transfer policy. Since we will not prefer 1st class players, this rebuild will be for 2 years. Let's start the transfers!
Before I forget, every year in the Bundesliga the league champion and the DFB-Pokal champion face each other to win the DFL-Supercup. Since we won the DFB-Pokal last year, we played Bayern München in this match and we managed to beat our opponent without making any transfers. DFL-Supercup is the first trophy we won in 2 seasons 🏆.
When I play Fifa, I like to buy young players with potential and I'm happy to see their progress. In this transfer window, I rebuilt the team from the ground up and signed 10 players!
I usually don't mention the players who left the team in my posts, if you want to know, I can write them all in the comments. I can show a summary like this:
I simulated to January to see the development and there I took a screenshot of the squad for you:
You can see that all the players without potential are gone and only Marco Reus remains. I have to say that I was very impressed that Reus stayed in the team despite the fact that big players left Dortmund for money and bigger teams. I like his character and his game very much.I hope we can win the Bundesliga and the Champions League title together. I wish the same in real life.
Speaking of which, we were in the Champions League this season with Dortmund and we finished 2nd in our group, which means that we will be paired with a strong opponent in the round 16 and we were paired with Real Madrid.While I thought we were eliminated, we won 2-1 at home and then 1-3 away to qualify.
In the quarter-finals our opponent was Chelsea and I thought we would be eliminated once again but the first match ended in a 1-1 draw and we won the second match 0-1 away from home to advance to the next round.
Surprisingly we reached the semi-finals and our opponent was the Italian giant Juventus. I had full faith in my team. Our previous opponents were not weaker than Juventus and we had done it and we could do it again and we did it. We won the first game 1-3 away and a 2-2 draw at home was enough to qualify.
In our first season we made it to the Champions League final with young players and it was like a dream. Except for Reus, there were no players in the squad who had played in a Champions League final before. Our opponent in the final was Liverpool. Liverpool were Champions League finalists in real life this season and their squad in the game was really strong. We won the match 2-0 with goals from Haaland and Reus and we managed to win the champions league cup in our first season. I joined the game in the last seconds of the match and took some photos of the celebrations 🎆🎊.
After waking up from the Champions League dream, we had a goal to achieve in the league but unlike in the CL we didn't do as well as expected and finished 3rd in the league.
The top scorer in the league was Lewandowski, who I really liked, and Haaland finished 2nd behind him.
Our failure in the league was reflected in the DFB-Pokal and we were eliminated early by Bayer Leverkusen.
If we look at the squad stats, Haaland showed good performance and development throughout the season and became our top scorer and most valuable player.
Our assist king was Malen, our 2nd striker, who surprised me.
At the end of the season, I present you all the improvements in our squad:
If we evaluate the season, I think we did a tremendous thing for our first season, but we still owe Reus and Dortmund a Bundesliga title. In the 2nd season I am sure we will achieve that.
I will try to summarize the 2nd season briefly. At the beginning of the season when I looked at the squad I saw that we needed 1 top midfielder and a right back. We had a pretty good transfer budget so I spent all the money on Hakimi and Kross.
We finished top of our group in the Champions League and we were paired with Benfica in the round of 16. Even though it was scary to draw 1-1 away, we qualified with a clear score of 3-0 at home.
Liverpool was our opponent in the quarterfinals and we easily beat them 1-3 and 2-1.
Our opponent in the semi-finals was Juventus, who we also met in the semi-finals last year. Last year we reached the final but this time they took revenge and eliminated us.
So our Champions League adventure ended and we returned to the League. Unlike last year, this year we had a really successful season in the league and finished 1st ahead of Bayern.
Of course I joined to the last match and took some photos while lifting the Cup.
We failed again in the cup and got eliminated early but I don't care about that because of our success in the league and in the CL.
Top scorer was Haaland by a big gap.
Haaland is the top scorer of our team again and he is also our most valuable player. 238 million euros 😲💸
Kross was the player with the most assists.
Let me show you our end of season squad:
In closing, I consider my career a great success. We won the CL and Bundesliga titles with Reus and Dortmund.I hope you enjoyed reading it too. I am waiting for your thoughts in the comments.
