Borussia players attended an eight day training camp in Feusisberg / Switzerland.
There was not only hard football training and practice on the agenda, but also team building activities like: river rafting, barbecue and others.
BVB played several test games against national/international and higher/lower class opponents. The ‘biggest’ test match was against the AS Rom, second in last year Italian season, Borussia could win that game supringsly clear with four goals to nothing. The new season 2007/2008 has to show what those and other results mean.
The biggest number: 50.549 sold season tickets!
That means a new record number for the entire Bundesliga and for the club!
