Some former companions from BVB times have remained particularly well in memory of ex-Boruss.

Once, Moritz Leitner was traded as one of the largest German midfield talents. Therefore, the BVB 2011 secured the services of the then junior jewel of 1860 Munich.

In the following years, the ball distributor in Dortmund was never undisputed regular players, but was part of the team, the German champion and DFB Cup winner. Special moments that Leitner has not forgotten until today.

Clearly the Dortmund was outstanding. If you hold the Double and in the Champions League Final, with these players and a polarizing club, the backdrop and the great fans, that was unbelievable in the retrospect, said the native of Munich in the Interview with transfermarkt.de.

Leitner: Climate at BVB was unbelievably beautiful

67 mandatory games completed league for the Borussia, a goal did not succeed. After all, seven hits prepared the right foot.

Despite his role as a supplement player, Leitner felt in Westphalia s pudel well. The climate in the club and the troupe, as we handled in the cabin for each other, and lived in the square, was incredibly beautiful, he betrayed and added: It was like his friends together kicked. That was unique.

A then teammate has left at Leitner lasting impression: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Bling-Bling Here, Bling-Bling there. But on the square and human, he was a great guy, the German-Austrian emphasized.

BVB decision mainly because of Klopp

That Leitner 2011 at all landed in Dortmund, especially with the former BVB coach Jürgen Klopp had to do.

When I dealt with the club a little and led as a 17-year-old talks with the coach, it just knew me. With the fans and the tradition, the club was unique in Germany for me, the mood was unbelievable every time, the midfield all-rounder swarmed.

From Klopp you could learn as a young team extremely much, so Leitner, the exciting insights granted: If he goes into a room and start talking, you get goose bumps. He can motivate you incredibly well and take them to his journey. This is a very big strength of him. There are a few players who prefer to do something different than to go to BVB. I would have gone there.
