Sports:Football
Thank you for your interest in the BvB London fan community podcast as every week the focus of the show will be on exploring a facet of Borussia Dortmund's life by talking to experts and former participants of the club's life.
People like players, fans and journalists who have covered the club and decision-makers and experts who know the world of all our club well.
The aim of the podcast is to make this wonderful football club more accessible to non-German speakers. The podcast may also be of interest to German football fans who want to learn or practice English.
Guest today is Abel Meszaros, Abel is a journalist and TV analyst with Hungary's Sport 1 TV, he is also a long-time panellist on Talking Fussball and The Yellow Wall podcasts. Abel also writes for France Football and Spielverlagerung and is a life-long fan of BVB.
On tonight's show, Ben and Abel review the 20-21 season. The club has been through a real roller coaster of a season the likes of which we have not seen since 17-18, under Austrian interim coach Peter Stöger who took over from the sacked Peter Bosz, when 'Die Schwarz-Gelben' finished in an impressive Champions League qualifying 4th place.
1. A third season under Swiss coach Lucien Favre after narrowly missing out on the title by 2 points in an impressive 18-19 but 16 points in 19-20. Was the club's trust in Favre the right move?
2. Impressive results but conceding stupid numbers of goals, why issues with set pieces are still the issue and the backline is still the issue but do BVB have talent in the back-line to come how much of an issue is Nico Schulz really?
3. The DFB Pokal campaign this season did we overachieve? Paderborn proves a bigger threat than expected and taking it to new coach Marco Rose's "Gladbach plus a preview of RB Leipzig and the semifinal.
4. Former assistant Edin Terzic takes over from Favre midseason coming from only having experience of being an assistant with Besiktas and West Ham United. How good has Terzic really done? Is Edin destined for greater things?
5. Are BVB still the number 2 team in the Bundesliga or have the scales shifted toward RB Leipzig at least this season?
6. What positions should BVB be focussing on in the summer, can we hold on to Haaland and Sancho the dynamic duo and initial thoughts on what Marco Rose might bring.
7. Predictions for the league finish and the DFB Pokal.
