在过去的20余年里,战绩辉煌的拜仁慕尼黑队一度被认为是德国足球的旗手和象征。但近期这一荣耀应属于上赛季的联赛冠军多特蒙德队。 1909年12月19日,在市议会的大力支持下,多特蒙德成立了一个业余性质的足球俱乐部。创建伊始,财薄势微的多特蒙德队尚无力与一些著名俱乐部分庭抗礼。他们的主要任务是推广和普及足球运动。他们经常外出比赛或表演,并为足球爱好者介绍和讲解有关足球的知识。在他们的影响下,越来越多的人开始喜欢这一项运动,多特蒙德队也逐渐发展成为职业性质的足球俱乐部。 Over the past 20 years, the brilliant Bayern Munich team was once regarded as the flag and symbol of German football. But the recent glory should belong to last season’s league champion Dortmund. December 19, 1909, with the strong support of the city council, Dortmund set up an amateur football club. At the beginning of creation, the Dortmund team with weak fiscal position was still unable to stand up against some well-known clubs. Their main task is to promote and popularize football. They often go out for competitions or performances and introduce and explain their knowledge about football to soccer fans. In their influence, more and more people began to like this sport, Dortmund team has gradually developed into a professional football club.
