Speaking at the press conference, the club's CEO Watzke proudly said, "The team's good performance in competition has inspired the club's income to increase. Of course, the transfer market is also an important source of income for the club. "It's true that Borussia Dortmund won the Bundesliga and German Cup double last season, and playing in the Champions League has allowed the club to earn more. In addition, the sale of Barrios has also benefited the club.

However, the fastest growing part of the revenue was TV broadcasting fees, which almost doubled by 93.1% to 60.4 million euros from 32.1 million euros previously, while sponsorship fees provided to clubs by sponsors increased by 15.7% to 57.8 million euros today, while Dortmund's ticket revenue increased to 31.4 million euros from 27.7 million euros in the same period last year.

At the same time as the income is increasing, so are the salaries at Dortmund. In the 2011-12 financial year, the total annual salary of the club's staff increased to 74.5 million euros from 57.4 million euros, with the total annual salary of the first team and youth team players being 60 million euros, compared to 49.7 million euros in the 2010-11 financial year.

Borussia Dortmund also announced that the club will pay dividends to shareholders for the first time this fiscal year. However, Watzke also hinted that the amount of the dividend will not be too much, "We are continuing our strong momentum, so we don't want to spend too much cash on this dividend." ”

In addition, Dortmund will sign a new TV contract from next year and will redesign the stadium to serve fans, such as restaurants, which is expected to bring in between 10 million and 12 million euros in revenue, and Watzke is even more ambitious, "I personally expect even more improvements." "Dortmund is already on a healthy trajectory and is expected to grow further in terms of revenue in the future.

The team's good financial situation combined with the team's excellent record made Dortmund fans very satisfied, and then Dortmund played a warm-up match against Cologne, who were relegated to the Bundesliga last season. In the end, they lost 1-2 to Cologne, which surprised many.

However, Dortmund's manager Jurgen Klopp did not pay much attention to the result of this game, and this season's warm-up games were mainly for the players to warm up to find the rhythm and form of the game, and the result did not matter, and this season's starting lineup added three people. It will definitely take time to run in.

Of course, it would have been nice to have beaten their opponents in the warm-up games, and now that the Dortmund players have not really adjusted their form to a good level, Klopp wants to give them more time to get back to form as soon as possible.

Dortmund's warm-up matches for the season are officially over, and Dortmund will soon participate in the "Telekom Cup" competition held by Deutsche Telekom.

The Deutsche Telekom Cup is an event sponsored by the world's telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom, the Deutsche Telekom Cup was founded in 2009, the competition is played by four teams, and the format of the Deutsche Telekom Cup is different from the Bundesliga and the German Cup: the game time is 30 minutes in each half. In the event of a tie within 60 minutes, three rounds of penalties will be used to determine the winner.

The competition adopts a random draw to first play two semi-finals, the winning team enters the final, and the losing two teams play the third or fourth place finals, a total of 4 games, the team is an invitational tournament, it is invited, and anyone should participate. But in order to attract fans, the organizers often find more attractive teams, for the participating teams. This event provides the necessary competition conditions for testing new summer signings and filling in gaps.

The Telecom Cup invited the old Bundesliga powerhouses Hamburg and Werder Bremen, and Dortmund and Bayern Munich, as last season's Bundesliga champions and runners-up, naturally could not be left behind.

The Telecom Cup is a pre-season test of Dortmund's strength, and the Dortmund team still attaches great importance to this game.

At this time, the team's three new signings are training very hard to integrate into the Dortmund team as soon as possible, after all, the new season is about to start. At this time, you have to integrate into the team quickly, otherwise it will be a big problem.

In these days, as the core player of the Dortmund team, Guan Peng is naturally the object of friendship between the three, after all, Guan Peng may play with whoever has a better understanding and who is likely to play more opportunities. Among them, Musassisoko has asked Guan Peng for dinner many times, but fortunately, this kid has signed a big contract this season and receives an annual salary of more than 2 million euros, otherwise he would have been eaten up.

Guan Peng looked at Musassisoko as if he wanted to be his little brother, of course, he couldn't refuse, and the two became good friends, after all, Musassissoko's strength is really good, and he is strong, full of physical strength, and his tackling ability is also very fierce, Guan Peng likes such players to defend behind him, presumably Bender and Musassisoko's back-back combination will be able to support Dortmund's defense in the new season.

The first match of the Telecom Cup was soon approached, and the match between Dortmund and Hamburg was also highlighted, with Dortmund hosting Hamburg.

"Hello fans, spectators, everyone! This is the German national television, and today we bring you the first match of the Telecom Cup, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Hamburg. Andre Douglas, a commentator on German state television, said.

German national television also broadcast the Telecom Cup live, and at the same time, in China, CCTV's sports channel also broadcast the Telecom Cup.

"Okay, now that the two sides of the game have walked out of the players' tunnel, the game is about to start, and now I will introduce you to the starting lists of both sides today." Andrei, the commentator of German national television? Douglas said.

"There were a lot of highlights in the starting line-ups of both teams, with Hamburg's newly introduced goalkeeper and former German international Adler making his debut, and South Korean teenager Son Heung-min, who performed well in the last edition of the Telecom Cup, also getting the start. Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up was not much different from last season's starters, with Schmelzer's left-back position being lost to Ricardo? Rodriguez was replaced, Kyle was replaced by Musassisoko, and new signings Reus and Schiebert appeared up front. ”

As the team was still at the end of the summer training camp, the form of the two teams and the chemistry between the players were unsatisfactory, and the start of the game was dull, with Hamburg's midfield dominated by defense and striker Berg not getting any decent chances.

However, Hamburg's players still created certain chances in the game, Aslan and Son Heung-min both got the chance to score, and defender Ogo's free-kick hit the post, Hamburg missed several chances in a row, and Hamburg was unable to attack for a long time and gave the opponent Dortmund time to breathe.
