welcome to the bundesliga on g.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. but i have been in blistering form since the mid-season break and they're on course for another campaign in europe are they the real deal we'll 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 don't mind and second place by munich who has the upper hand ahead of their classic. welcome to the show we have plenty to talk about and 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 to be here and to my right moody my psychic thank you for having you here is well. let's get down to business coverage and read some

of the table off the nuremberg swing on saturday and they face an uphill battle to survive the drop on sunday they face aside his bundesliga future is also in the balance 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 serdar made it one nil with his first goal for the royal blues he did well to kill benyamin stumm billy's cross and hung over gave him the freedom of the penalty box to pick a spot. kind of a press more after the break but we're ultimately toothless. fluoro news leah's

shot kissed the bar. and nikolai miller couldn't find a way past nubile. one know the final score relegation looms ever closer for hand over the shock at take a step towards safety. and in sunday's match frank hosted a hapless took outside of one just once since the break and i'm desperately fighting relegation frye at frankfurt 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. frankfurt faithful were hoping to see the home side continue their run and leap frog gladbach a mistake endings. and the host duly set the tone from the opening whistle would look at you a bit shooting just wide after a mere three minutes play. looked up held out till the break but still it constitutes forty fifth minute finish from an acute angle gave frankfurt the advantage. and constitution doubled his tower summing home an

incredible pass for monte ribbit 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 of his own three nil frankfurt you bitches sixteen league goals have been tied for second this corn chart. the victory sees frankfurt move to fourth place with their best run in years putting them in champions league contention. and that's exactly what we'll talk about to 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 champs he places for the first time since matched a twelfth i'll be there to stay it's incredible i mean did you expect frankfurt to be up there after twenty seven days i certainly did not and specially when you look at how their season started they had a pretty rough start there were 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 friday for this season what has actually driven them back into the top four well 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 six years where they managed to get through without losing against the likes of leipzig brain and your team beloved of course dortmund all these games back to back they cannot lose games and now they've had some gentle fixes as be said and. five wins on the bounce the front three of course gets a lot of praise rightly so you know if it were a bitch and they've been sensational but it really has been an all around effort the likes of danny de coster i think is at a very good season and today of course the hero philip cost age who has been

sensational and is our right is really picked up from his poor form hamburg his best ever season for goals and assists but of course the man you can look out mention by only just a minute ago. the coach has done a brilliant job of getting all these players taking along very nicely so they actually mentioned as well as of the ones who've you know the expense of being a champion in places what's going on with you today well they've just hit one of their spells haven't they way suddenly nothing works it started on much they twenty one when they played head to 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 fall that game they were in second place they were ten points clear of franks and now as we know they've been overtaken by the one win in that time in the four defeats in seven games not a good one asbos so the defense has completely crumbled as we saw again three goals against a sort of conceded and certainly was the defense that a bow the sporting director had a problem with in not catastrophic opening spell yesterday let's hear what he had

to say. 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. you might say 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 bag what else what shall happen 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 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 frank as we just book the crypt into the champs the places in the bottom half of 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's a twenty seven in the books let's look ahead to next weekend or early. just had a bind 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 weekend i mean i had two points of munich and just had a draw and now bond has to attack in order to regain the lead which is perfect for thought 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 michael voice 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 mongoloids was injured or you wasn't playing well mostly 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 much. 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 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 dominance by and for the second time in the season and there 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 on top as this game is so important both of you what you think going to happen what is 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 done wonders for a title with it. because well ok we're going to move on we're going to stick 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 at the team they have a hell of a lot of work still to do in this camp i but 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 have a fellow world cup winner of course with and that's. two young high quality defenders that buy and have brought in already for next season's update that aging 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 ruining of the step ahead of the competition. spending is a hundred fifteen million euros is a lot of money especially eighty million on a player who's already got a dodgy knee i mean this is a huge gamble for by media is it not is it think so if i could find a dodgy me i wouldn't spend two 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. that'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 buy a new nick spend seven years ago on a player like how to name tubby martinez that was the highest the highest paid player or the highest some they have ever paid for in the business league got 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 hundred fifty hundred a that's not their policy and

for that i think it's definitely a good deal or we'd be talking about this of course more as the weeks go along like to thank both my guests are economic and all of the movie you'll be joining me again next week for so much in twenty eight banter until then that's all from us here in berlin thank you and goodbye. mr curious. do it yourself work. the news. channel subscribe don't miss out to know that seventy seven percent. are younger than think . that's me and me and. you know what time of voice is. this seventy seven percent talk about the
