Lytt til Gegenpressing: The Bundesliga Podcast

On this week’s Bundesliga preview show, Manu and Stefan sit down to discuss two games in particular. On Saturday evening RB Leipzig travel to Eintracht Frankfurt in the hopes of inflicting some serious damage to their fellow top-four contenders. But in the meantime the dynamic duo discuss the names linked with the open managerial post in Leipzig and debate whether the club will be about to convince the right man to replace Marco Rose. They then turn their attention to the Nordderby between Werder Bremen and St Pauli and discuss why Oliver Burke’s decision to leave the club for Union Berlin is not only bad news for Ole Werner’s side but is perhaps also an indication of why all may not be well at the Weserstadion despite their climb up the league table.

On this week’s main show Stefan and Manu sit down to discuss all the major talking points from another fantastic weekend of German football. They kick things off by taking in Borussia Dortmund’s impressive 3-2 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach and discuss why Niko Kovac’s team are finally beginning to look like a team capable of finishing in the top four. They then take a look at Union Berlin’s 4-4 draw with Stuttgart, focusing on how Steffen Baumgart has managed to steer the capital club away from relegation. They then finish up on St Pauli’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday night, taking time to heap praise on Alexander Blessin and his rowdy squad from the Reeperbahn.

On this week’s Bundesliga preview show, Manu and Stefan spend much of the show discussing Eintracht Frankfurt’s defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League and their quest to finish in the top four in the league to qualify for the Champions League. This then leads to a general discussion about the poor performances of all German clubs in Europe this season and the reasons behind that. They then spend the second half of the show discussing Wolfsburg’s recent woes in the league and why Ralph Hasenhüttl may be in serious trouble if his team can’t make the most of their last five games of the season. Enjoy!

On this week’s episode of the Gegenpressing podcast, Manu and Stefan are back to discuss the biggest talking points from the weekend in German football. They kick things off with a breakdown of Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in “Der Klassiker”. Should Vincent Kompany’s side be happy with a point or are there bigger issues at play in Munich that the German giants will need to fix before their clash with Inter? The duo then took in Bayer Leverkusen’s dull 0-0 draw with Union Berlin and debated how much credit or criticism is fair for Xabi Alonso’s team this season. Then, to wrap up the show, Manu shone a light on Eintracht Frankfurt’s season and discussed what they’ve done so well in the Bundesliga, ahead of his interview with the club’s CEO.

On this week’s Bundesliga preview show, Manu and Stefan are back to discuss two of the biggest games in the German top-flight this weekend. They kick things off with St Pauli’s trip to Holstein Kiel, where Alexander Blessin’s side will be hoping to put a recent run of bad form on the road behind them to pick up an all-important three points against another team at the bottom of the table. They then spend the second half of the show discussing “Der Klassiker”. Whether it be the incorrect use of the term, Bayern Munich’s struggles in defence or Niko Kovac’s inconsistent tactics, the duo break down every aspect of the biggest game in Germany this weekend. Enjoy!
