The Bayern Encounter will be a MIGHTY Challenge for Klopp

While most teams have feared and still fear Bayern, Klopp and his boys have grown used to playing them, and loved beating them. Back in the Kagawa days, Dortmund always beat Bayern and outplayed them with their high energy attacking football. Now, Kagawa is gone and Gotze has gone...to Bayern. Dortmund are struggling in the league and the Champions League, and this makes this match very different now. This will be a DECISIVE match for Klopp which may affect how they do for the rest of the season.

There are rarely two teams who are so different in styles. Henckes's and Klopp's philosophies were pretty different but with Pep, the difference is FAR greater. It's possession football against direct attacking football. One team seeks to cradle the football and play that extra pass while the other is looking for quick one touches, and heading to the danger zone as quickly as possible.
 Klopp's boys drew first blood in that German Super Cup, but they will now be facing a Bayern team that have hit their stride and are out for blood and revenge.
  Dortmund CANNOT afford to lose this. Bayern can, and can still recover. With the way results have gone for Dortmund, and with that Napoli match coming up, Dortmund need some belief back in their squad. Klopp is still having them play some of the best football in the world, but results are results. If they are to lose, and if they lose badly, it could hurt them badly in a psychological sense. A win could give them hope that they can take back their Bundesliga and give them their super power ranger energy to beat Napoli and get out of that crazy group.

If anyone can beat this Bayern team, Dortmund can. I believe in their football and know that it's very possible for them to turn it on. I don't think they will, but Klopp must be working hard to get his David to give the mighty Goliath a decisive blow.
