(23h30, 15/8/2015), Dortmund – Mönchengladbach:Wait for new wind from Tuchel.

Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach last season had completely contradictory. Dortmund played very disappointed with 7th place Borussia Mönchengladbach also won in straight power Champions League this season as the No. 3 team Bundesliga last season.
Tuchel was appointed to replace Klopp at Dortmund.

Waiting for new wind from Tuchel in Dortmund.
This summer Dortmund Klopp has split after 8 years in opening up a new dynasty, dynasty Tuchel. But the identity of the current team shirt remains the same as under Klopp. Tuchel still pursue minded football philosophy of attacking gameplay Pressing charm. But the play of Dortmund under Tuchel always ensure safety at home, in recent 5 games they have not yet conceded 1 goal, this is a success because even Klopp and Tuchel been only criticism is not good at defense coach. However, the results of friendly matches do not reflect the strength of Dortmund, Tuchel should prove true in official tournaments, namely the previous Bundesliga rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach upset tonight.

Do not despise Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach had a very successful season by winning the Champions League ticket. Their style of play based on the collective strength does not depend on any individual. Achievement of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the preparation stage last season but not impressed by Dortmund can not say that they disappoint. Last season this team had caused many difficulties for Dortmund and Bayern coach Tuchel be difficult to get the victory in the first official match for Dortmund.

Information force.
Dortmund: Grosskreutz, Kirch, Subotic, Sahin, Durm absent due to injury.
Mönchengladbach: STRANZL, ominguez, Hahn absent due to injury.
                                                           Nordtveit suspension.

Guess:
Dortmund 2 –  1 Mönchengladbach.

Rijeka v Aberdeen: New dad Shay Logan targets Europa League win for little baby Zeplin



Shay Logan wants to celebrate the birth of his son with a win in Rijeka
SHAY LOGAN is hoping for a baby bounce in Rijeka after the birth of son Zeplin River at the weekend.
The Aberdeen ace had no say in the new arrival’s name – but he’s determined to play his part in a Europa League shock in Croatia.
Logan is hoping little Zeplin – nothing to do with rock icons Led Zeppelin – will be welcoming dad home with the Dons still in the hunt for the second leg.
Logan said: “I’ve only had three days of it but I love it. Being a dad is the best job ever. It’s the only job that’s better than being a footballer. It’s difficult because I only had the little boy on Saturday and I’ve had to go away this week.
“If we get a good result tomorrow it would be a fine end to the week.
“You’d have to ask my missus about the name. I think it’s only fair because I’ve already had a little boy and girl and she wanted to choose the name this time.
“I like the name. I wasn’t too keen on it at first but sometimes you have to just give in. And when you see his little face, he does looks like a Zeplin.”
Rijeka – which is Croatian for river, aptly – hold no fears for the full-back despite their impressive European record.
The Croats are unbeaten in three years at home in the Europa League with the likes of Lyon, Sevilla, Real Betis, Feyenoord and Standard Leige suffering in the Kandrida.
He said: “I know they are really strong at home and are favourites. We know we are a strong capable team too and we’ve had some really good results. We are confident
whoever we play.
“We’re not unaware of the difficulty of the task but it’s something we are well up for.
“It will be a different game in Aberdeen. They have the crowd and the weather and maybe that’s an advantage here but I would like to think we’ll have the advantage next week when we play in front of 14,000 fans at Pittodrie.
“I don’t think we were lucky against Shkendija. I always think the better team wins over two legs. We play Rijeka, we are not playing the Macedonians.
“It’s a different game, it’s tournament football. We are going into the game with high spirits. We can definitely progress if we stick with what we need to do.”

'Legend' First Full-Length Trailer Finds Tom Hardy In Fine Form As BOTH Reggie And Ronnie Kray, London's Gangster Twins

The first extended trailer for 'Legend', has been released, showing Tom Hardy in fine form as both Reggie and Ronnie Kray, in this biopic about the infamous East End gangster twins.
Director Brian Helgeland ('LA Confidential', 'Mystic River') takes us, mostly through Reggie's eyes, into the 1960s underworld, which saw the violent brothers moving effortlessly between their East End home, pubs full of threats and violence, and the glamour of clubs and parties where they brushed with celebrities and were snapped by photographer David Bailey.
Tom Hardy is in doubly fine form as Ronnie and Reggie Kray in 'Legend'
Tom Hardy stars as both Reggie and Ronnie in the film, but what could have been a distracting gimmick is soon confirmed as a double tour de force from the 'Mad Max' star. Good luck to the people who have to sort this out come Awards Season.
The film also stars David Thewlis, Taron Egerton and Christopher Eccleston, with Emily Browning appearing as Reggie's tragic wife Frances.
'Legend' will be in UK cinemas from 9 September.
