Julian Brandt will lead Borussia Dortmund to the field at the club World Cup as a captain. He was transferred to the bandage because Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck will be injured by the two regular capitals at BVB. In advance, the BVB star admitted that he does not see himself as the classic leader on the field.
Before leaving the USA, the Dortmund midfield star had told the captain’s question at BVB compared to a media round: “I believe that in Germany we have a very clear picture of a leading player.
It is precisely these virtues that Julian Brandt does not necessarily bring in as a strengths. The 29-year-old also knows that and admitted to having tried in the recent past in a role that was not at all: the loud driver in midfield.
“I tried it. In the end I have to say that it was more harm than that it was good for me,” said Brandt, who had gone through a blatant in the Bundesliga season.

Similar to many of his black and yellow teammates, Brandt only found its top form in the end of the season and saved with BVB in the fourth place in the table and the Champions League qualification.
In the future, under head coach Niko Kovac, he wants to reflect on what has made him become one of the best midfielder in Germany, his football qualities, his technical finesse and his great understanding of the game.
Brandt said about the rest in honest words: “I am not the one who is looking at the Sabitzer, whom and then the cans on the square. But I have a very, very good connection to everyone from the team, from young to old, from newcomers to those who have long been in the club.”
Already at the club World Cup in the USA, which begins for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening (6 p.m. German period) against Fluminense, he wants to go back to the pitch as a top performer.
