According to Veerman, he received a call from Borussia Dortmund two days after the Johan Cruijff Schaal, followed by a conversation with the club's trainer and technical director. The midfielder was given a direct red card in a match against AZ, and it took two weeks for the transfer to be finalised. Veerman is pleased to have found a new challenge at Borussia Dortmund, where he has been able to meet new teammates and opponents. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Veerman has settled well into his new surroundings, winning all his duels in a recent match against VfB Stuttgart.
Veerman has highlighted the significant differences between the Eredivisie and the Bundesliga, stating that teams in Germany compete at a higher level on a weekly basis. He has also noted that the training schedule at Borussia Dortmund is more demanding, with intense conditioning sessions on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite his new surroundings, Veerman remains a loyal fan of his former club PSV, which he hopes will regain the Eredivisie title.
