The arrival of Peter Bosz from Ajax was, though, slightly out of left field. On the surface, his work developing talented youngsters in Amsterdam and his credo of a highly energetic attacking game seemed like Dortmund all over. In fact, Dembélé would have enjoyed himself a lot more at the Volkswagen Arena – where he scored his first Dortmund goal last September – than sitting at home fretting about a possible transfer. “Dortmund surprised me,” said the Wolfsburg coach, Andries Jonker, underlining the fact that his players seemed as poorly set as Dortmund’s were ready. They’ll miss Müller, whose career at the club has been blighted by injury – he combines forward dynamism with a fearsome work ethic.
