There were suggestions that the anxiety of maintaining his guilty secret about his summertime defection to Bayern Munich explained Mario GAtze's poor featuring against MAlaga throughout the quarter-final. It had been therefore anticipated that the stress triggered by Tuesday's leaking of what's named "der Transfer-Hammer" might break the 20-year-old and possibly even upset the team dynamic. But JArgen Klopp started the fighting midfielder, obviously convinced that the home supporters would not switch on the turncoat and that GAtze is solid enough to deal with the additional scrutiny. The manager was rapidly vindicated on both counts. Right from the start the zero and enthusiasm of Dortmund proved their spirit was whole and his part was played by GAtze, pushing with the same ferocious intensity as his team-mates and showing his course with a combination for Robert Lewandowski to open the score. Demonstrably no one at Dortmund was home on the youngster's shock move. Mind you, the issue will certainly resurface if your ' when a ' Dortmund meet Bayern in the final. Dortmund are anticipated to get rid of their leading striker this summer but at the least the Pole bolstered their bargaining power with this performance. The contact that preceded the smart end for his second goal was bettered by the drag-back past Pepe that gave him the space to bomb the ball in to the net for his hat-trick. No wonder all the top clubs in Europe are eyeing him up. Baseball is simultaneously at its most systematised and its most severe at the best degree. It will take a particular player to spread panic among fastidiously drilled opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo can do it, obviously, but so can Marco Reus and he indicated that with type on Wednesday night. His speed and dribbling talent, allied to Dortmund's ability to get him running on to the ball in lines that will impress the All Blacks, had Real Madrid's defenders abandoning their stations and scurrying hither and thither like children who'd taken far too much fizzy place and had no real clue just how to handle. It would be quick to eliminate Real score goals in the next leg at the BernabAu but it's hard to see them maintaining both Reus and Lewandowski at bay. Borussia Dortmund are as effective as to the last. There clearly was no GAtze-style palaver when Dortmund ordered a new person from Bayern Munich four years back. As the Bavarians were perfectly happy to let Mats Hummels get, thinking that, while he had spent his entire youth at the club, he was not good enough to boost their elderly staff, for whom he played just once that's. That judgment has looked dodgy in recent seasons as Hummels helped Dortmund to two successive Bundesliga games a' but in 2013 it's Hummels who has begun to look dodgy. He's experienced serious lapses on way too many events, such as for instance when he misjudged a boring punt upfield in the group sport at Shakhtar Donestsk to gift an objective to Costa. His sloppy backpass that led to Ronaldo's equaliser heightened suspicions that he is not the man to bring new firmness to the defense of Barcelona, who're rumoured to be interested in him. Then again, one might also suggest there is no reason a' besides financial, obviously a' for Hummels to go to Barcelona. The discussion is finished. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the best non-German teams in Europe and they certainly were totally overwhelmed this week a' proved to be inferior tactically, theoretically and physically. The manner of them was pleasant, whilst the crushing victories were impressive. There is a contagious joy and exceptional equity concerning the way Bayern and, particularly, Dortmund play, making their control somehow more thrillingly individual than the tiki-taka tyrants. And it all unfolds before packed crowds who produce atmospheres that are seldom experienced in, say, the Premier League.
