Kloop came home

So it happened, 365 days after he announced his resignation from BVB his new love Liverpool had kicked BVB out of Europe League in the most dramatic way. He had Malaga's night with BVB and now he has Anfield's miracle against BVB. Football can be such a cruel sport sometimes.

Funny how the expectation of BVB fans changed so much from the beginning of the season than now. From "give Tuchel time to rebuild to we should have won the UEL",  it said so much about Tuchel's success in his first season in charged.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan finally comes to fulfill his potential, the MagicTaryan 23 goals and 21 assist to his name. Julian Weigl is such a revolution to BVB midfield that we forgotton his is just 20 years old. Aubameyang is dupped one of the best center forward in the world now.

Yet, here we are in the mid of April and still rumours of transfers are getting more and more intense by the day. Of one thing that BVB really needs to improve is the ability to keep key players. Gundagan look certain to head to EPL, Hummels is comtemplating to leave and judging by his demeanor these few days, it is almost done too. It will be really frucstrating to see BVB lost two keys players after such a good season. The pokal will remain the only token, if they win.

Fortunately, at the end of the August we can still see him here in Dortmund, a place he called home.

BVB Asiatour

It has been one month plus 2 days since Borussia Dortmund came to Malaysia for one of the stop of Asiatour. It has been real fun and lots of picture to share.

As stupid as me, I forgot that I brought along my DSLR which can zoom closer. So if you manage to spot the blond handsome guy, that's Marco Reus. He was here for an event at Puma Store JBCC, very lucky to get a big help from store manager to be able to meet up with him for like 5 seconds and took a photo. :-)

Sorry for the blurry photos, he walked really fast and I was shooting from my phone. 

Nothing much to share from the game, it was a friendly game and obviously BVB is not very serious about it.

That's Sven Bender, Aubameyang and Stankovic. 

World cup winner Erik Durm in action.  

Marco was doing his model posing. 

And of course his true love, water bottle. 

New coach, Tomas Tuchel. 

The players show some loves and appreciation to the fans. 

The next day though is more fun, went to Meet n Greet with Jonas Hofman and Lukasz Piszczek. Met some Lukasz's fans from the Philippines. 

 Somewhere in there are the signature of Aki (BVB CEO), Tomas Tuchel (BVB Manager), Marco Reus (BVB most beloved player), Roman Weidenfellen, Jonas Hofmann, Lukasz Piszczek, Pascal Stenzel, Marouka and Julian Weigl (BVB next big thing aka Michael Carrick in the making). 

So with some fond memories, few selfies and couple of hundred poorer, we bit farewell to Asiatour. It was really fun and hope to see you guys again in 2017. Come back to Malaysia and Singapore.   

可惜不是你，陪我到最后。

离开，不是不爱；而是爱的太深。 

放手转身离开的人，有时候需要更大的勇气和宽容。

不离不弃，留下来坚守的人，用行动诠释了忠义，爱和信仰。

没有荣誉加身，可却让人惊叹，仰望。

The Courage To Follow Your Heart

The heart's decision is known to be the right one. There may be True LOVE after all.

Dortmunder Jung

Lives your dream, Marco. 

Wish you all the best, success and most importantly health.  May your heart make the best decision.

Marco Reus: "I grew up here, I was born here, I played here in my youth. I just feel comfortable. #BVB.  My heart has decided. I stand by my decision, you lose and you win together. It's also a decision for life, that's why I thought about it for so long. When I arrived here I said I wanted to achieve a lot with the club and I feel like it's not over, even in this situation."

Lives Your Dream, Marco.

What will your choose? To stay at the beloved team with enough money but slim chance of winning title or go to a team that offer you twice the salary, chances of win it all but far from your heart?

According to reports, there are likely chance that Marco Reus will extend his contract at BVB, a team that linger at the bottom of Bundesliga. He should be playing for a team fighting for title not for relegation. But, sometimes people makes stupid decision.

Decision that based on heart rather than head. Decision that makes blood boil, heart pump and tears roll. Decision that made dream comes true and people believe in LOVE again.

This is football, Echte Liebe. 

Only the hair that matters

If only the hair that matters, BVB would have won it by miles...

We have no doubt that Kevin Kampl will blend in well with this team. Instant bromance established.

If you fall, I'm with you...

BVB is bottom at the table after a complete match day, something that doesn't happen for a long long time. They still show up. The most passionate fans in the world.  

If you fall, I'm with you...

They miss him a lot.

Emoji Celebration

It has been a difficult season for Borussia Dortmund so far in Bundesliga, bottom at the table and had lost 5 games in a row. The pressure must be mountain high for the coach and players. The championship is a forego thing now, hopefully BVB can still manage to quality for the CL next season. It will be such a shame if they didn't, imagine the bottom team in Bundesliga is actually at the top of group D and who said EPL is better than Bundesliga? :-)

Certain Marco Reus still managed to celebrate his goals with some creativity that buzzed the net.

He said it has got nothing to do with the excessive rumours and the overly discussed topic by others about his future. But we kind of like related to it, he is not going to read and listen to any of those rumours; and definitely he won't tell us about his decision until the time is right. So all those Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City and Uniteds' fan please hold your peace until than.

The one who missed the big prize

He is the one who missed the flight, injured a day before the team departed to Brazil. Most of the general public may have known him for THAT jersey, for the bromance between these two talented players but for football fans he is still recognized as a very good player, with or without World Cup.

His name is Marco Reus....
Here is a little story about the boy who just loves play football.
