The Bundesliga is a whole lot different to the Chinese Super League, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Axel Witsel says.


But that hasn't come as a surprise for the Belgian international who joined the BVB from Chinese side Tianjin Quanjian during the summer.

"The Bundesliga and the Chinese championship are not comparable at all. The intensity here is a lot higher. Every game, every duel, every contact is a lot tougher. But I prepared myself mentally and physically for this," Witsel said according to Bundesliga.com.

Witsel has made three Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund so far.
