economic and humanitarian crisis. in the bundesliga on d.w. match day twenty seven was brought to a close by four teams three of them deep in the relegation battle the other fighting for europe this is what we have coming up for you. frank have been in blistering form says the mid-season break and their own cause for another campaign in europe although the real deal will be discussing the champions began patients. after saturday's switch at the top of the table would be taking a closer look at next week's mighty clash between first place dortmund and second place by munich who has the upper hand ahead of classic i. welcome to the show we have plenty to talk about some because one simply isn't enough i've dropped in to talk about the last day's top stories to my left he said

reporter all of a cannot good to have you back nice to be here and to my right moody my psychic thank you for having you for having me here as well. let's get down to business though and starts our coverage and the reds boss of the table off to nuremberg today and they face an uphill battle to survive the drop on sunday face shaka a side whose been is the future is also in the balance as one step closer to top flight survival. who would hold their nose in this relegation battle. returned to the shelter bench has seen a predictable focus on defensive stubbornness who they did a low hendrik vitae and a sniff of go away on. alexander newell to the rescue for shelter. as expected this wasn't the finest spectacle but shell to show just a bit more quality and took the lead on thirty nine minutes to us me to one nil with his first goal for the royal blues he did well to kill benyamin stumm billy's trust and hung over gave him the freedom of the penalty box to pick his spot. kind

of a press more after the break but we're ultimately toothless. news leah's shot kissed the bar. couldn't find a way past nubile. the final score relegation looms ever closer for hung over take a step towards safety. and in sunday's match frank hosted a hapless took outside of one just once since the break and are desperately fighting relegation fright frank on the other hand are in fine form they've won their last four games on the trot something they haven't done since the beginning of the twenty twelve thirteen season they make it five. the frankfurt faithful were hoping to see the home side continue their run and leap frog log back in the standings and the hosts duly set the tone from the opening whistle with luca you get shooting just wide after a mere three minutes play you. looked up held out to the break but thought

constitutes forty fifth minute finish from an acute angle gave frankfurt the advantage. and cost to double of his tower something home an incredible pass from on to a real bitch just after the hour mark for his fifth goal of the season. with five minutes left in regular time journey to cost a third yo bitch for an entire hour to finish up his own three no frankfurt you bitches sixteen league goals have been tied for second discovering charts. the big three c's frankfurt moved to fourth place with their best run in years putting them in champions league contention. that's exactly what we'll talk about and start with . just one of two teams who have not lost a single game since the start of the year they've now put themselves back in the champions league places for the first time since matched a twelfth are they there to stay it's incredible i mean did you expect frankfurt to

be up there after twenty seven days i certainly did not especially when you look at how their season started they had a pretty rough start there already rumors of whether the right guy is cetera et cetera and now they're there and who else should end up in fourth place but i don't see that happening at the moment and the next one is already seven points behind it which is that so out of those three it's definitely going to be frankfurt ali you've been keeping a keen eye and a keen eye on this season what has actually driven them back into the top four you know i'm not surprised to see them go on a bit of a surge at this stage of the season they came through a rough patch of fixtures where they managed to get through without losing against the likes of lights a brain and your team. i love it of course dortmund all these games back to back they came out of those games unbeaten now they've had some gentle fixtures as we said and. five wins on the bounce the front three of course gets a lot of praise. and they've been sensational but it really has been an all round

effort the likes of that need to cost i think is a very good season and today of course the hero. who has been sensational in is our right is really picked up from his poor form hamburg his best ever season the goals and assists but of course the man you can look out mention by only just a minute ago he has a coach he's done a brilliant job of getting all these players taking along very nicely so they were only mentioned as well as they're the ones who've you know the expense of frankfurt being a champion in places what's going on with you today well they've just hit one of those spells haven't they where suddenly nothing works it started on much say twenty one when they played have a bill in holland and got hammered three nil big surprise and not one since then it's just all gone downhill the confidence seems to have drained out of them completely the for that game they were in second place they were ten points clear of frankfurt and now as we know they've been overtaken by the one win in that time in the bundesliga for defeats in seven games not given

a spell and so the defense is completely crumbled as we saw again three goals against us a little conceded and certainly was the defense that the sporting director had a problem with the not catastrophic opening spell yesterday let's hear what he had to say when you are in for if you make simple mistakes in defense and build up play that lead to counter attacks and don't want to defend with full commitment in the bundesliga you'll be three nil down after sixteen minutes. both talking about the defensive frailties is that the only problem at the club at the moment earlier as all the money they were they were chasing the title more or less and nothing nothing has stayed like that for like for like four five six weeks now if they fix their problems defensively it's definitely a strong team they have great forwards they have really good attacking players but i mean if you're not stable in the back. what happened i mean this it's just nothing i think it's nothing that you can solve right now because what you mentioned it's the confidence thing and they that's what they like completely at

the moment they've got to fix it because this brings our talk about match day twenty seven to an end i'd like to have a look at the table they have it at the top when it pops up dortmund first two points ahead of by munich those two will lock horns next saturday in a potential title decider front foot as we just poke the crypt into the champs of the places in the bottom half shall come in six points clear of the relegation zone and there's bad news for nuremberg and no team is ever avoid relegation from the bundesliga with fewer than one thousand points at this stage of the season. that is match day twenty seven in the books now let's look ahead to next weekend only. sore just had a bye and do they have the confidence going into that clash of mine isn't that the perfect match up that we are facing right now for next week and i don't want to head to points of munich just how to draw in five book has to attack in order to regain the lead which is perfect for gautam and i mean hello what else can

you expect from that it's going to be a fantastic match and to answer the question yes they are confident they even didn't let my course play because his wife nothing to take away from that decision it's great but it shows how strong they feel about it and they can in the past when they lost their games it was always because michael always was injured or you wasn't playing almost he was injured now they can even afford to let him go to the hospital to be with his wife or daughter to be close with wife so perfect so he's going to be he's going to come back even stronger he's going to be a father and i think that's that's one definitely one key to that match. as he says michael rose will be back for this huge classic of a game this is probably the biggest one we've had in so many seasons i'm definitely i think most of us to go very tired of that moniker that classic because it rang hollow so many times and in recent seasons you get to this stage by and for the second time in the season and they would be ten twenty points between them no

semblance of a title race whatsoever this year as you said nick when we look at the table there it could decide the title the outcome of this match dortmund ahead on points by enough time advantage i can't wait to see who comes out until as this game is so important both of you what you think going to happen with this we're going to be the start with you well in order to have a tight race till the end of the season i hope for a thrilling three three. but i think it's going to win it ok. i'm going to go with a tight door and went to one both of you have a title with it yet. because well ok we're going to move on we're going to stick with by and now let's rewind a couple of years by munich one of the earliest ever title match the twenty seven so like today back in two thousand and fourteen there was no stopping it was team back then and now fast forward to today it's a completely different picture is the focus on this season at all or are they looking beyond that now well i think certainly if you look to the team they have

a hell of a lot of work still to do in this camp by we know with the signing of lucas and that behind the scenes by the very much already looking to next season and of course as the tweet that we're about to see on the screen tells us as well and is not even the first piece of business that by and have done for this summer there is benjamin paul fellow world cup winner of course with. two young high quality defenders that by and have brought in already for next season's update that eighteen defense they have and look at those price tags to over one hundred million euros on the two of them and that is a massive out lie and in the same got plenty on their plates for this season it just shows you that heinous and roman to get there a step ahead of the of the competition. spending is one hundred fifteen million euros is a lot of money especially eighteen million on a player who's already got a dodgy new mean this is a huge gamble for by munich is it not is it think so if i could find a dodgy knee i wouldn't spend one hundred eighty million euros on myself here

absolutely right but if it doesn't work out if he has to finish his career i mean he's only twenty three but if that should happen i do have an insurance for that it's not the money the question is how do you fill that gap actually in the team if you count on a player and you don't have it of course it's nice to get the money back in some way from the insurance but the worst thing that can happen is that they don't have a somebody else who could fill in that gap that they have to since they are planning with him on the other hand you just mentioned the money yes it is a lot of money but it's still not as much my. nationally it's a lot of money but internationally. it's a good average price i mean it's hard to say but that's the truth and compare that to those fourteen million that buying munich spend seven years ago on a player like how to name how the mighty nets that was the highest the highest paid player or the highest. paid for in the bundesliga forty million so that paid off as

well so i'm i'm sure it's a lot of money yes but for buying munich standards they can afford that they just want they don't want to spend a hundred fifty hundred eighty that's not their policy and for that i think it's definitely a good deal but we'd be talking about this of course more as the reach go along i like to thank both my guests are they cannot get all of the movie all you'll be joining me again next week for so much say twenty eight until then that's all from us here in berlin thank you and goodbye. staying up to date don't miss our highlights. program on line w. dot com hard. to know that seventy seven percent. are younger than six. that's make ends meet.
