A side man for Witsel
In the preparation of BVB-Coach Lucien Favre tested different systems with two to three Central Mitfeldspielern: Both in the 4-1-4-1, 4-4-1-1 and 4-2-3-1, Dortmund are already running. Axel Witsel should act as the sole six in front of the defence, could start in front of him, the creative Mario Gotze and the fight strong, Thomas Delaney, attacking, Central Duo. In the second round last weak Götze was put into the preparation was responsive services, and also appeared physically fit. That national coach Joachim Löw had nominated him for the world Cup and Götze was the preparation by play, was good for the Ex-champion of the world, obviously.
If Favre makes the BVB with two sixes play, could set up the Trainer the more defensive Julian Weigel next to Witsel. Götze could play a more offensive role. At least if Weigel is in time for the League kick-off fit. He had missed much of the preparation due to a broken ankle.
Mahmoud Dahoud has in the past test a lot of play time from coach Favre get, the made him in Gladbach on the Bundesliga players. Dahoud frequently played on the offensive and is relatively close to the starting line-up. In the long season, the 22-Year its periods of use.
