Dortmund certainly do have a sytsem, but more than simply tactics, it's the willingness of the players to work as a team, without ego, and give their all. Of course it doesn't hurt that so many Dortmund players are first-rate talents, but I think the youth of the team works in Klopp's favor, too. Not sure if a team of big name veterans would buy into his tactics as well. But perhaps they would the older veterans on the Dortmund side have.@victor I wonder sometimes about Sahin, what he's thinking now. Dortmund are certainly doing well without him, but I do think, at the very very least, that they miss his set-piece skills. I also wonder if Reus, seeing how little playing time Sahin was getting, decided to stay in Germany and become part of something so potentially glorious at Dortmund. Don't know if Sahin would come back to Dortmund I guess it's possible. As for Nurnberg, Hecking is a fine coach but he'll need all his skills to keep Nurnberg up, as I think Augsburg, Freiburg and Kaiserslautern did more to improve in the transfer window (although Nurnberg certainly were unlucky with the ACL injury to Omar Gonzalez).
