do position to make. most of the things you did well. it's christmas time and there's been a lot of gift giving buyers have seeded points goal or already the season which has at least made the bundesliga much more exciting place the pace to much festive cheer from him. to him fired back. this is indeed it was when my stance on this is when did. the surprise package under the christmas tree are mentioned plucked off the 1st 2nd place team at the mid-season break has gone on to win the title 9 times in bundesliga history to the falls have a real chance. now it's christmas we enjoy these 2 weeks and i don't mean to keep them going to get more. time to look forward to christmas and the winter break but this yuletide will be one of mixed emotions for dortmund as they ponder how to stop . going away planes. who goldish political indeed the winter

champions are neither buying nor dortmund welcome to kick off. the year ago dortmund were clear at the top of the table but 2019 has not been kind to the black and yellow so at the end of the 1st half of the season they're 7 points off the lead despite their quality squad dogman have dropped too many points in fact from winning positions they've let a love and point slip the coach is all too aware of the problem. as it's unbelievable the points we've lost. believe a ball. daughter might have 12 points fewer than at this stage last term this comes despite strengthening significantly in the close season they began the campaign

with a clear goal the title. although daughter's football is often easier on the i playing like this won't help them win the championship. against tough and i mean that game panned out like so many for thought man this season they dominated their opponents with their class repeatedly shining through and matteo gazza standing in for injured captain marco voice grabbed the opener on 17 minutes i thought months continue to pile on the pressure and produce the wave after wave of attacks particularly from the right hand side ashraf hakimi had his chances. as did target as out in the 39th minute but that precious 2nd goal proved evasive. sometimes a team are just unlucky or come up against a good goalkeeper like oliver. baumann. dortmund lead one militant break but it

should have them a lot more. does is the height it's stupid that has to be said clearly we haven't we had the chances to score a 2nd goal a 3rd even 1015 we should have crossed the poll more rather than half shooting or those all. perhaps the immaturity of the team was to blame what a more experienced hakimi have set up a teammate here. or perhaps lucien father's decision not to recruit another center forward in the summer as part of the problem some fairly straight forward chances went begging. that we had so much attacking verb i think we had something like 8 corners to none but our finishing was poor. and so doth men snatch defeat from the jaws of victory they gave away what seemed to be a nailed on 3 points on 79 minutes

a down young levelled with half an himes 1st real chance. look at those faces there not the faces of title winners. just like against leipzig in the 33 draw last week dortmund lost control of the game within the space of a few minutes. and they come of age with the winner for half an hour i'm in the 87th minute. and again the leakiest defense among the bonus league is top teams conceded 2 goals out of nothing. with in 8 minutes and thought man had somehow surrendered a game they should never of lost points yet again thrown away. but we have fewer points than we should have from the last 2 games we have one point instead of 6 we've been sloppy in the 1st half. the season of the feeling alas now

. from i can guess how many points we've lost stupidly lost. causes daily. the mid-season break is upon us a time for dortmund to regroup and say goodbye to a cursed 2019 somehow they have to try to move forward and stop being so consistently inconsistent. young man who has exploded onto the scene josh was e.x.e. 8 minutes played 8 touches of the ball and 2 goals scored. those are the fruits of his 1st 2 games for byron merrick just like last week against 5 working rescued a win for the champions against both scored again just a minute after coming on and with his 1st touch. christmas fairytale start from

byron the 18 year old dutchman with a yuletide miracle right on cue. problems to remain though the variance cannot be happy with the 1st half of the season it's their worst in 9 years their 3rd in the table. but i haven't seen a click by him do you see much more relaxed and on saturday they again passed 70 percent of possession but points have still gone astray. let's check the stats former coach nico kovacs had a points per game ratio of $1.00 with flick it's $2.00. but without the z.x. effect it would be $1.00. there are still big gaps of baron's defense and opponents are getting chances. well spork were not cool headed enough to take advantage. of.

the shall victorious so close to scoring just before the half time whistle. and have also been hit by a raft of injuries this season. having martinez became number 7 his replacement share home boateng was the only recognised 1st team player on the bench. it was looking like both sport might manage a drop thomas move that arrived too late here. while continued likewise then fail to find the net. i. with few options flick wrote the dice and turned to you know who won 85 minutes. there's a reason why is it c. has 35 on his back. he's not meant to be in the 1st team yet he's just a kid at 18. but he was again the savior one nil to buy and

i have only a 4 joshua. the teenager would also turn out for the reserve team a day later but here's some balance christmas was already made. for man 1000 c. is becoming a cult hero. to you he's a positive guy out of the same time quite shy as he's so young but out on the pitch he shows what he's made of as we've seen in the last 2 games. and that joshua effect has a broader impact to parents' relief allowed sarah's cannot play to make it to no later on. i the game was typical of fire in the season dominant but sometimes struggling to convert that supremacy into a win. close to the last 2 losses against japan living and they put us behind but apart from the things we played good for. ball and now the last couple

of games showed character to come back and i think the race is still opened. we would have liked to hear from 60 but byron are keeping him incommunicado. his impact has been huge though the win meant byron confirmed flic as coach until the end of the season his bosses are all smiles. france is doing a good job we're very happy with the development of the team and how we communicate so openly it's very pleasing. flick has conjured up a youth player who can make a difference his faith in super sub-zero is quite possibly the best argument for him staying. current celebrate with lots of christmas cheer the champions may only be 3rd at mid-season break but they are above dortmund and will be wearing to go for the 2nd half of the campaign.

child in 5th took on friday burke in 6 who would have imagined that before the season started at the halfway mark they are both perhaps over achieving but wanted to head into the break on a hot. shot that dominated early on with sweat soaked are especially influential. a 12 with benito rahman there was the opening goal after 26 minutes. to stand spice vyborg just couldn't get going but that changed 10 minutes after half time the video assistant referee spotted a foul in the area. as pedersen converted to make it 11 he is now the club's joint record scorer. chang hong kong was then a 1st unfortunate for freiburg but is blocked. changed when memoranda brought him

down. when chance of grief stepped up to take this one super cool. to one to freiburg. shall coach david wagner needed a plan and fast it was looking like a very undeserved defeat. substitute off mic to 2 she was the answer is full 10 minutes from time sealing a draw we conceded to promote is the sort of penalties but the situations we gave to using the way this is a little bit. of what i have to moan about about anything else i think was quite good in the end both teams and for the christmas holidays in good spirits. after the 5 nil triumph and braman minds entertained leave a cruisin in fine form they continued where they left off with some excellent play

but this time the finishing touch was missing. 20 minutes from the labor corps and when del received a 2nd booking but instead of wilting they were close and shrugged off the setback. stoppage time they snatched the points thanks to look at saudi go smash and grab. their braman are in a real mess while cologne are suddenly on a high. the hosts took the lead from their 1st big chance on court above with a one nil. 39 minutes gone a win would put them 3 points above freeman in the table. next to bottom visitors pushed but it was all in vain. new come on coach marcos good stone has now picked up an unexpected 9 points in 8 days the billy goats are clear of the relegation zone. and now enjoy the festive period.

fortuna dusseldorf were also looking to take advantage of breman shocking form against promoted or new on berlin the home side broke the deadlock through even henning's on 38 minutes what a strike that was. but coach return phone could do the job wasn't done. shortly after the restart when you and grabbed it deserved equaliser through patterns on the game was certainly up for grabs. and the winner came in stoppage time doesn't do us ever told me unleashing us more of being shot that flew off the post and into the net. for sure enough with the good fortune just in time for christmas q some extra special celebrations as they climb out of the automatic drop zone football's just child's play sometimes.

bottom side part of born needed a christmas boost in their clash with time tough to frankfurt. the fireworks before kick off ended up being matched inside the stadium. the struggling visitors looked jaded and underdogs padded barnwell ready to pounce i still have made some beauties own rocket put on a born one mil ahead. but it takes a lot to get patted on coach stephan baumgartner excited even though frankfurt had not won in 6 games. before the break promoted had a born double their lead courtesy of sebastian showing now. the hosts had a real chance of just a 3rd win in the league. the season. back had had

a point peaked too early they had a full 2nd have to endure a possible frankford onslaught. and it came and eventually frankfurt pulled one back through past tossed. his birth goal of the league campaign. in the end got a born got over the line precious 3 points for christmas which will fuel hopes that they can escape the draw. blood bath for visitors to the capital but had no real chance of taking top spot because of a vastly inferior goal difference to leipsic. and that shouldn't take away from what has been a great 1st half of the season for the poles their best since the 1970 s. they even lead the pack for 7 match days but are they able to mount

a real tilt for the title of. their biggest strength as defense only 18 goals conceded that's the joint lowest number in the current season catarrh berlin we're going to have their work cut out. gladbach also threatened sporadically. to come going close here in the 39th minute but generally the visitors didn't show enough against the team in 12th place at the finish and a bit of guile were lacking to him has 6 goals this term to top the scoring ranks but it wasn't to be his day. even though we want to have more and we are young we need to do more as well we didn't get our surgery hurts not our best performance today and now we come to this point that we have like a constant really consumed weeks in the in the futures. and lot of coach mark 001 the austrian league the last 2 seasons with sides pork. but to win the german

league his side will have to win these sorts of away games they're the best home team in the league but in 8 away games they won only 4 to leipsic 6. likely to work on in 2020. what might help is that far out of both the german cup and europa league. they can concentrate on the display get in the 2nd half of the season. but in berlin could easily have lost. your game klinsmann's had to had chances to win they've stabilized under the germany legend with 8 points from the last 4 matches. on bishan is to climb up as soon as possible in the table and and then also all start to play a more taking a more. entertaining type of football right now it's more defensive side of it

ended nil nil here to head into christmas the happier the 3rd game in a row without conceding. gladbach on the other hand no they should have produced more an attack their elevated position in the table has raised expectations possibly too high they're still a work in progress. and is on the last to say the team of worked hard and we've had a good 1st half of the season when you now after a few days' rest we have to get back out and show we want more when i'm for mail and. wanting more is the right answer but was this team have to buck up and buckle up because here comes the winter champions. could this be the season for rb line. with biron indoors. and struggling this is

the chance for the red bull back team. they might not be particularly loved across germany but new champions comment would be welcomed by many people dislike of fans . so what suggests might say really can't do it. the one they have team of their own with 18 goals and 7 assists so far. and the 23 year old is getting better and better. byron swap at 11 dosti is only one goal ahead of him in the bundesliga scoring charts. like sick also have the most prolific overall attack in the league they look more dynamic than last season and opponents are getting more desperate to stop them i don't worry it looks worse than it was. but at home against in-form alex park like 6 suffered an early shock on 8 minutes.

but no it's not me at me that's now. don't forget our sport had won 5 of their last 6 games. but light city in contrast to dortmund right now seem to have the medal to recover from such setbacks we discussed about enough time that we need a patient and then play the same style are going to 1st half and the goals will come on their own in the 2nd half of pressure get higher and higher and they always have the feeling that. you can score and get the lead. midway through the 2nd half light sic levels. can have lima with the ball but. lots of have all the right ingredients onerous with serious financial clout a top infrastructure and one of the world's best young coaches. how the press. it is you they are not gods man's hallmark just like gautam and

under your gun club. there is another big reason for leipzig being genuine title contenders this season they have a classic target man up front 5 check international pads take shape committed to one of the best death toll in only 8 games for lights and. this edition has made leipzig squad the complete. the but will it be enough for the title. in the winter and nothing so. we have to continue like this also in next year and we'll see in the summer we don't. tend to always also key to this like 16 they can be devastating when switching to attack. the use of force in with the final goal of 31.

this season they're flying but like ticks rivals will also worry that they haven't even reached their full potential yet. many of the players are still in their early twenty's and their coach is only a little bit older. looking forward to improve my team and to get better and to play nearly also a good 2nd half a season like we did in the 1st set of barbie leipzig around the last 16 of the german cup and the champions league and sit top of the bundesliga for the winter break what a delightful christmas present. so here's a look at those results away from the victims part of born and the year on a high with their 3rd point of the season made those christmas bells jingle meanwhile it's almost a case of modern bells ringing at doff much. but now

a few firsts from this season. this was the 1st of 465 goals so far this season scored by who else on that level d'arcy yet again the league's leading striker. but the most assists came from the man many have written off thomas miller with 11. meanwhile can you guess which 2 sides have the best defensive record we know about glass but both borg are tied with them with just 18 goals conceded. the down let's sneak a peek at the end of the year table. so leipzig right at the top in the last 10 years the winter champions have gone on to win the title 7 times by our north 3rd dortmund are level on points with striker it's set to be a thrilling 2nd half of the season. and in the 2nd half of the table part of born

are still bottom but braman in frankfurt have slipped deeper into drabble meanwhile cologne are surging but will leave you were so league leaders. the 2900 winter champions are the leipsic they don't look as happy as they should be but it is only halfway through the season. that mascot really looks ready for a christmas party of wildlife 6 coaches keeping his cool. bit of money you are going to try because you know says he goes without going into the good times the market is in line seeking lead the way at the mid-season break for the 1st time in the club's short history. you don't get too excited just by christmas crackers like this one. day we're out of the sun thing is so into. in this moment i think i may not think i know when there is so i still hold

to see the body footballers are taught to keep their feet on the ground but surely leipsic can dream a little this christmas after all they didn't really exist just 10 years ago that are now on top of the honestly get seasons greetings and i'm happy new year come kick up thank. you at.
