feel like sometimes Spanish teams are surprised by how direct German teams can be, and Dortmund definitely fit that bill. La Liga is much slower and more methodical.
Plus both Marcelo and Carvajal push forward a lot and with Ronaldo and Bale playing up top it compounds the problem as they don't track back much.
right. I'd look for lots of overlapping from whoever plays wide for BVB. RM's midfield 3 are going to have to stretch wide. Pressure is on Kroos and Modric (I assume) to get out there.
that was a really entertaining match. player for koln had a chance to be the hero there in stoppage time. did everything right, just couldn't finish.
didn't know if it was just me, but i always thought guerreiro and castro in the middle with dembele and pulisic out wide was their best lineup. douche king never seemed to do much for me.
Leverkusen scores on a corner. They're really high pressing BVB, not sure how long they can keep it up without getting burned.
I legitimately want someone in that situation like Mor to kick the shit outta the douchebag that flopped.
Maybe I dont watch a lot of Bundesliga but I cant remember the last time I saw a match this chippy. I'm used to it in La Liga, Serie A and all of South America, just seems anti-German to be this undisciplined.
Well now I feel like I'm watching a South American match for real. Just missing the crowd throwing bottles and some flares, maybe a power outage.
Was completely unaware that RB Leipzig were topping the table, holy shit. I know they have been at the center of a bunch of drama the past few seasons, but hot damn that was a shock when I just gandered at the standings.
They have really good players, a good coach, and a great style of soccer. Naby Kieta is going to be playing for a Real Madrid type club in 2 years.
