The Evolution of Borussia Dortmund: An Outdated Legacy?
When one thinks of Borussia Dortmund, a multitude of attributes come to mind. The club is often celebrated for its exceptional ability in the transfer market, crafting a narrative around acquiring underappreciated talent, unlocking their potential, and selling them at inflated prices. Likewise, fans recall the club's tenacious playing style, their clear identity on the pitch, and their continued rivalry with Bayern Munich. Over the last couple of decades, Borussia Dortmund has solidified a brand that stands as a model for clubs trying to emulate efficiency and success. However, the reality is that this once-celebrated vision of the "Dortmund Way" is increasingly being viewed as obsolete.
