Dortmund's summer investment is fruitless? Grosskreutz sharply criticizes team building
**Introduction:**
The new season has started unsatisfactorily, and Dortmund is facing unprecedented pressure. Despite large-scale signings in the summer, the team still cannot show its top level. Even the former tough guy Kevin Grosskreutz couldn't help but speak out and criticize the club's transfer strategy and player performance.
**Foreword: Transfer investment has not been effective**
This season, Dortmund has invested a lot of money in the transfer market, trying to introduce fresh blood to improve overall strength. However, the actual effect seems to be contrary to expectations. Kevin Grosskreutz said in his podcast "Viertelstunde Fussball": "The team has introduced many new players this season, but who among them can really stand firm in the starting position?" He pointed out the flaws in Dortmund's transfer strategy and believed that this signing idea has not brought a qualitative improvement to the team so far.
**Grosskreutz's doubts: players have great responsibilities**
Grosskreutz's criticism is not only directed at the team management, but also at the players' own performance. He believes that the Dortmund players who lack fighting spirit and teamwork in the game have not assumed their due responsibilities. "Can the new players introduced by the team really play key positions? Do the players have the qualities of a top team?" He emphasized that the players' own efforts and sense of responsibility are the key to success or failure, and Dortmund is obviously lacking in this regard.
**Lack of core recruitment policy**
Grosskreutz further analyzed that the team seemed to lack a clear positioning in the recruitment process. Although many players have potential, they may not be suitable for the existing system, and there is a lack of top players who can directly improve combat effectiveness. Whether it is midfield or forward, the team has never been able to find a core that can truly drive the whole team. In addition, over-reliance on young players has led to overall instability, and frequent mistakes in the game.
**Dortmund's future way out**
Faced with the team's embarrassing situation, Grosskreutz suggested that the club needs to re-evaluate the recruitment strategy and enhance the stability of the team's lineup. He also suggested that Dortmund should strengthen the cultivation of players' psychological and technical and tactical qualities, enhance teamwork awareness, and help young players better adapt to the rhythm of the game.
**Conclusion: Regain strength and find the "yellow lightning"**
Dortmund was once the "yellow lightning" that frightened the Bundesliga, but now it has lost its edge in the competition. Although Grosskreutz's criticism is sharp, it is a wake-up call for Dortmund. I hope that in future games, the team can really find the right direction, regroup, and reproduce its former glory.
