to hurtle braman in the standings with the win against heads up and frankfurt welcome the outskirts of town how high can the eagles flood. time chris harrison welcome to the show we have plenty to talk about joining me for this sunday powwow are two top experts to my left a very special guest former but as they can midfielder and current coach of antigua and barbuda national team michel didn't say he doing very good thank you feeling good you've been traveling a lot lately i know glad to see here. very own max merrill how is miami and are you ready to get down to business it was great and i'm ready to rumble all right glad to hear it now let's start at the top bar in munich's robert levin dosti and kingsley coleman exchanged blows in training and head of the dusseldorf match coach nico box confirmed it happened but also said the issue was squashed here's some advice pick and choose your battles what about the fight to defend the title well

both of byron's boxers were in the starting eleven who'd strike first and would it be the right target. after his meet week bass kings the commom picked up where he left off landing the opening blow after just fifteen minutes was the wing as cross found its way straight into the goal by and ahead one nil. and just before half time come on was at it again this clinical hit from the twenty two year old making it through mail to buy and. munich's management were handing out the sweets early. in their sporting director the treats were perhaps a little sour and it got worse as search canaveral made it three nil after fifty five minutes and were in cruise control an injury to captain manwell neuer threatening to spoil the show replacement spend all right has little to do up until

a controversial penalty for handball. julie converted but it was a knee consolation gorecki landed the knockout blow in injury time a crusie full one victory for the variance. following that lopsided affair by munich reclaim the table e. they didn't allow dortmund to have more than one good night's sleep now michel start with you i think there was an expectation that it would have no trouble you know dealing with those now do you expect it to be this back and forth at the top of the table between buyer and dormant until the end of the season i really hope that the battle will be until the end but. honestly if we have to see that i think it's a great team at the moment they're one thirteen or fourteen games and very strong at the moment so and just see doesn't all of us struggle

a little bit but i really hope that the race will be end on the last day. manuel neuer will have to see you know how long the injury will last now max let's take a. step backwards and talk this thursday's pre-match tussle between robert levin. and break it down what exactly transpired there so those day in training a full blown fistfight none of that shoving and pushing that were used in football but it came out and was then confirmed by bind which is somewhat unusual for a big club like them and allegedly the beef was between live and coleman both thinking that the other is too egotistical and then the fists flew and we can have a look on instagram because the eagle eyed fan would have seen this coming a day before it happened. posted this picture right here so he's already warming up for the fight and the guy has previous lost he had a heated exchange with homos in training as well and twenty fifteen s.b. separated from bowen saying there was even footage of that where he and him were almost directly yes you know and his wife is a karate champion so this was

a real brawl and on friday this was what the coach nico kobach had to say about the matter hit the theme mission as far as i'm concerned the matter is closed i'll say it again the three of us sat down and we all talked about it we sorted it out the issue is over. and life goes on. if you can get well and just to confirm there is no fine for either player and coach even said it shows that emotion shows the team is alive and then michelle over to you talking about that emotion as a former player current coach how often do players get to fighting during practice . two to three times a year maybe undecided on my time was like that but it's like what of course this is emotional and it's a good sign to everybody that everybody is very deep and concentrated in his job but you have to be more professional and does and does this point to not to show

ever to public that what's happened in the team right and then the age grad living dog is about seven years older than coleman is a younger buyer players so it's a shame to see that but they've recovered now i'm actually michonne zero five and kobayashi actually did not even see the players home for the training he allowed them to finish you know what does that say about coaches yeah i mean it's strange really to according to some sources the players even were surprised that no one was home and it's a very less a festal it's kind of cost him at the start of the season when they want doing to well it came out and publicly backed him when there was rumors that senior players went really respect his methods disregarded a mobile phone bandit team meetings and team dinners to most miller's wife criticized him on instagram and you know i think maybe it'll improve the squad overall when some of the senior players are moved on and he gets the respect of the younger players but it is a bit worrying to me i think you have to be a little bit tougher in those situations and show the plays this cannot happen at

such a crucial part of the season ok i know it's i guys we have some more action frankfurt in alberta have been on different paths this season frank first been soaring high lady in champions league contention while been slowly sliding down the table so low in fact they hired a new coach ahead of their clash with frankfurt not the best time to visit the eagle's nest. frankfurt came into this one after a bruising loss away to benfica in the europa league. and martin schmidt would have been hoping the hosts were suffering a european hangover. but frankfurt looked anything but groggy but feel typically create a corner and console pacy n.c.r. not at home with just forty minutes on the clock but then things started to unravel for frankfurt after half an hour mark richter turned well to slot home his first league goal of the season. having broken his goal from an richter feasted on frankfurt's generous defending to make it two one before the break up frankfurt

needed leadership but captain jealous and fernandez lost his head just two minutes into the second half dome to ten men for the second much in a row frankfurt couldn't find the energy for an equaliser and kept their nerve to pick them up from the current. in the points on eighty four minutes of a crucial win for augsburg and handshakes all run for schmidt after his winning start. in sunday's early match hoffenheim hosted a weekend here to berlin side that had several key players missing and it showed. in the twenty ninth minute demon mary put the home team in front with a stunning strike in half and i've continued to dominate managing to get this twenty nine shots to hit this measly five second goal came late on in the second to have nineteen year old get off reste nelson sealed the victory to no victory going to hoffenheim way. grab so that all right now let's back pedal a bit and talk to frank for a match were you surprised about this outcome the frankfurt out's burke you know

outcome and do you think this hurts frankfurt's hold on the top four spots of course because nobody expected that they lose this game against it but because it was struggling just the last game against health and time but. yeah you do have to be careful because if something is if they're going through this way and maybe dave on an international position right and i think that's a keeper you know a condition for luke you know if it's as well you who's a bit late to barcelona reality did another champions league you know birth will will help encourage him to stay and max what about this year up a leak the t. do you think this is hurt this has hurt the i think certainly because it's the first league loss in the twenty nine season and they lost after the away games today in lisbon on thursday previously they won very narrowly against them back when they had a much away in milan and drew against. after a game in donetsk now when they play at home it's all ok but these long travels

it's really affecting our squad that's not that big and as you say i think it's really key that get into the champions league because of the players that are trying to hold up the club did sebastian l.a. is hurt right now so you know it's tough to see what will happen with the eagles now with all of the matchday tonight's game in the bag let's have a look at the table with five games left to go this season is mentioned by iron take the top back all the same from three to five hoffenheim when gets them in sixth place knocking down braman in the bottom half out of work still have their feet to the fire but they've helped themselves out a bit by picking up points at frankfurt. now max are with you dusseldorf has reason to celebrate they've secured their soft more season expected yellow because of results going their way yesterday they they are actually now safe and won't be relegated the season mathematically and it's hugely surprising all the experts lots

of the fans and lots of the neutrals will have thought they went would go straight down or at the very least be in a relegation battle till very late on in the season as it is five games to go and that they're safe and it's incredible because not only have they been there they know how very big chances at the start of the season they've had turmoil with the coach a change of sporting director and now more changes in the boardroom so that usually looks like a club that's really struggling instead cruising to go for graduation to them you know you know that that's a good point over to you michelle for one do you think dusseldorf will be able to stay up after next season first real quick do you believe that they'll secure their actually have allergies and i don't know it's very tough to say. maybe maybe are now you know who do you guys call for the team that will secure the playoff relegation spot there's always a lot of drama surrounding the sixteenth spot of the table who stood guard its cars

on the team horse a play against maybe some quality ok ok right now why would why stuttgart it was there and i don't like the way holiday play football at the moment it's it's not like you see and this area a team who is really worked hard as you see on the last game what the players are doing on the field it's it's a shame to see players. didn't turn out a player and we don't want to spawn and understand ok do you agree really quickly struck up or expo again it's going to haifa they're staring so well that's all for us this week i'd like to thank my guests michelle didn't say and max merrill for their input from all of us here in berlin. dark up i mean there's a. show
