where the improbable but. the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery now i see. one earth where you need start september 18th on d w. one . just make it is that yes we're excited to. last season by in munich cleaned up fresh from wrapping up the travel the record champs unsurprisingly begin as favorites to finish top once again.

but not if their rivals have it their way. runners up dortmund with their wealth of young talent. champions league semifinalists leipsic. and fast up and coming benching blood. which new stars will the new season bring special circumstances notwithstanding the top 18 german sides have been busy bolstering their ranks we check out a few of the names both new and familiar who might find themselves in the spotlight soon. the bundesliga has long provided a spectacular stage for players from all corners of the world to strut their brilliance and this season will be no doubt.

the action kicks off on september 8th she so get all the latest on kick off before the ball gets rolling. i am here next or sleeping the sleep of the just after their trophy laden season as for the competition there will be more sleepless nights ahead i have this great couple makes a travel i thought that was my most spectacular experience and. i have us live seldom seen such a close knit group of players. inspiring and hungry for more. i buy and kick off the defense of their triple with a new face on board superstar the roy sunday has swapped manchester city for munich . i'm just not to use an irish huge club with huge ambitions and that suits me fast

enough so that all for me sunday is excited to be back in the league where he 1st made his name which i think is good when players like him return he's a child in the bundesliga. i mean everyone wants to see these players weekly rossana is good for the whole league one just bought i'm thinking the design a good now even further bolster byron's unstoppable force but is that possible the club wasn't knocked off its stride by either a change of coach or a pandemic. to tell the coronavirus prank they were just leave unlike a lot of other teams that find every game since at home and abroad in the not so good but we also did the best job of dealing with the whole situation and the titles are rewarded with this site that shows the teams. thanks and their

determination and they're hungry for that tonight string title noise didn't see it in the underestimates transformation from midfield work force to on field leader was vital to byron's travel success cam in your short cambridge running the engine room the future looks bright as well. by a young and ambitious thing called a cheap pairing for the heart of midfield i think i also get on well together. that applies more or less to the team as a whole they're all by earning bodies. we haven't done the having the friends get on the same page everyone's fantastic you have a lot of fun come to training time and it's just a great bond funds the flick has nurtured a spirit of togetherness in a squad which stands out performers from back to front by the board thanks to their consistent collective endeavor and many of these players are still young. but

if you now bring the. correct commish we're talking about players who can turn out for another 8 years at the highest international level incumbents who served by an office but. it sounds like the start of a new buyer an era one he can now help shape in this and it's for me the target simple win as many titles as possible as the champions league rights of i have never won the ball already the best in the business on current form fire never given themselves a further upgrade with the rice and a special skill set. is of equal to you already missed to have the best german players here by me and we've added another gem to the collection to the comedy is in yet some key for me sunday were very well covered out even better than adults are often also. as that's the speeds everything and more hopeful balls and he's got great close control will take a risk and has the situational awareness to create chances. border for the b.p.

oil that comes with leroy we've taken another big step towards staying at the very top in europe that's what i mean we took the trouble winners are already at the very top but they know they can't afford to ease off and 3 rivals out to topple them from their perch. of course last season's runners outdoor 2nd place behind all conquering byron is pretty good going but for all that dortmund can't help but wonder when the vast pool of talent at their disposal will manage to take them all the way to the title and how public should they go with any statement of intent. and having a goal in formulating it's a 2 different things i did you know me offensive late last season about what to expect from us and basically stick by that spirit here maybe just formulates it says going to doing the best of its time in every competition but the obvious and besides that. the new season means

a new chance to reach their goal this year is restart preparations were split between home chair and switzerland. had to move back in there to to. work hard and hopefully a good season. unimposing mountain landscape in the background and in the foreground even more fresh faced recruits on display than last season. dortmund have a flock of football one ticket. 17. just turned 1720 just turned 20 and all of 15. i'm starting to feel old now actually when you say so and when i see them but. because in the future we will see a lot from them. remember the name he can't even play for the senior side

until november when he turns 16. the others are good for a run out already although some are not much. good sign from birmingham city is rated one of the great midfield prospects for his age group and he's not slow to show why i'm still young and i want to try as. i think to do. regardless of how good. she oh he'll be 18 in november but he already has a solid half season of going to sleep experience under his belt he's a prime example of the youthful free spirit that permeates this squad. you know makes feel like they're located so again playing. really fun you know 171719 year olds and 20 year olds. preferably also every training session. separates

the title witness from other good teams that that's what we have to work on the flow because. you feel very talented and very much ready to claim some serious silverware. and are good to go but so are leipsic. biggest city in the eastern state of saxony is steeped in football history the german football association was founded here yet for years the locals had little to cheer out on the pitch that all quickly changed after 2009 when a new club was born. the track money for. everybody by surprise rb leipzig have got the football world talking all the more so since their recent march through to the last 4 of the champions league.

and if they've shown they can cause the big names real problems with their performances in the champions league. feature of the leipzig approach is the regular development of top talents in tip top class stars. is the latest complete with a contract extension and senior call for friends. preparations for the new season as the champions league heroes gear up for the next leg of the journey. p.r.b. project is an international one promising prospects are also trained up in austria brazil and the united states. tyler adams arrived at the start of 2019 from m.l.s. new york red bulls the young midfielder fired leipzig into the semifinals of the champions league most just pure excitement pure joy a moment that you know in a sense you wish that you could celebrate with your family in person and have the

competition of course but you know being able to pick up the phone and call them and see the excitement on their faces you know talking to them they don't even have their they can't even speak voices screaming at the television it's an exciting moment for me. to get protests also emphasizes continuity the object is to have a team you know each other's game inside you so well since certainly fits the profile when the danish striker joined the club back in 2013 they were still in the 3rd division goalkeeper painted with 2 years later. he's committed to the project and further progress. no one expected us to get so far in the champions league. this season obviously we want to emulate that level of success also in the bundesliga. success built razor sharp counter attacking football that takes top drawer technique. executed at top speed

a job for players like new arrival benyamin hendricks on loan from monaco he's a graduate of the labor has an academy. and on the 4 best teams in europe in the champions league and. of course it wasn't easy was a hardware which were there to come there but i think especially in the bundesliga we can represent ourself again. the leipzig way culturally and not just mine we'll continue to pursue and refine it in his 2nd season at the helm he's already got them so that are stages of the champions league in the bundesliga there fixing on the very summit. i hope it happens at some point needed 3 years apiece at dortmund liverpool i think we'd all be happy with it sooner. probably not either if it takes 4 years it would just be great for us to do it at some point that's the general a much. like 6 days as

a football backwater feel long gone now celebrated multiple promotions here taken the bundesliga by storm and now the champions league as well that vision of actually claiming the mice a shot that looms ever larger but they're not the only ones with their eyes on the prize. as chad. mentioned back among the big boys staring memories of a golden era when the falls took the football world by storm history as an incentive almost an obligation and a new season to be approached by spirit. it's not like messing about just because we've reached the champions league but it's important to have fun as well and if you're working hard with focus he can do that. and the.

cost of 200 kilometers northeast of mentioned blood by the coronavirus situation means pre-season preparations are closer to home this year at this stage funding games aren't generally high on the agenda but the unanticipated 4th place finish last time out has had a knock on psychological effect the prospect of the champions league to. the atmosphere very pleasant says he wants him to stay focused when he keeps working on the things that need to be prioritized well heading into the season. and. having fun as well. no complaints so far steve knight marco's is the architect of this gladbach search of his 1st year in the job he's foisted the team to a new level. that isn't going. to try. they spent more than 2 months at the top of the table serving up their own brand of

football fast direct straight to the point both refreshing and reminiscent of the style that 1st run the polls their nickname. was at some point in the early seventies a local journalist said. they run around like young foals it's great to watch the full in the 1970 s. clock one the bundesliga 5 times and the away for a cup twice that era would prove a hard act to follow. in the world in the seventy's playing here it makes you that good credit to be great. it's always been in their d.n.a. and today's foals have made a welcome return to the adventurous free running style of old 1st so it's just as it should be. funny yes i'm always happy to see my. glad backplate attractive

football as they did on the mark over the last season. champions league place. the acquisition of austria international valentino that sato and his compatriot gives further creative options in the middle of the park to keep challenging at the top they have a clear plan of action. they can. pressing on with even more intensity especially against the best teams but we've played really well but often only got a draw on nothing else. just. closing things out. of . the polls are aiming for another history making season what else is in store for the new season. new season new stars we've already covered the rice on

a whopping manchester from munich but other clubs have also been busy bolstering their ranks here is a look at some of the most i catch ing moves. i knew right back for dortmund thomas mann yeah the belgium international has arrived from champions league final list but essentially max and will add substantial experience to listen father as youthful squad earmarked to replace kimi who is now at inter milan many offers a similar attacking threat as evidenced by 8 goals in his 84 league outings for p.s.g. i like to give some. pleasure is to get the you know the feeling of. the german and to score a goal. scoring goals is his specialty max crews are fresh on the books that would be on berlin after racking up $250.00 top flight outings for zac how the fribourg.

braman the 32 year old former germany international spent last season in turkey with fenerbahce now he's back in the bundesliga. i always love the stadium atmosphere the clubs develop tremendously over the last few years since hopefully i can be part of the process going forward. jory has a similar aim with his new club out spork over 3 and a half years at the experienced attacking midfielder rose to become an on field leader he scored 17 league goals for the royal blue and some of them were real beauties paired with his implacable drive he looks a great signing for another. thing is i think tenacity and a good mentality are among my main strengths as a player i'm looking forward to it i fully will have plenty to celebrate together. keeping the goals out is alexander all those jobs and now he'll be doing it for hector berlin after more than

a decade at fribourg the 28 year old shot stopper will be competing with rooney yosh dying for the number one slot and with 125 top flight ships under his belt he's already shown me has what it takes. me on the chin of it as something of a bun just league old hand as well now after turning out $116.00 times in his 5 years at frankfurt now the 25 year old serbian attacking midfielder is taking up a new challenge with hoffenheim they qualified for the europa league last time out he's been a musician confident with this team. and hopefully we can improve seasons finish. the summer movers are ready to impress at their new clubs speaking which one of the 2 newly promoted clubs is coming up next. are many of the films back. if i honestly think sees it after an 11 year roller

coaster ride. to write the next chapter it's never going to sleep in the street and old time german football institution about to embark on a new adventure. june 18th 2020 was the day it was official a one nil win against sealed the deal of annoyed house his team. 11 years after dropping out of germany's top flight i mean you have been left field are heading back a 2nd just to get champions not many people saw this coming out this season stuff. like this it really shows how we stick together on every single person on the team spirit simply outstanding. failed return to the bone just they go bringing with them a lot of history founded back in 1905 the north rhine-westphalia and club have spent 17 seasons in germany's national top flight so far one high point along the

way came in february 2005 when they beat record champions byron 31 the city of bielefeld also has a longstanding reputation for the fervor of its fans now day and the players alike are eager to get started. we're really looking forward to it already the closer we get to the start the more that's going to be. and we're all desperate to get going in the bundesliga and images. and little wonder in his 9 years on the books skipper fabio and flo says experience all manner of drama here good and bad up close and personal. now at the age of 32 he's getting his own belated taste of life at the top table. especially after treading water amid tape. and even dropping down to the 3rd

division you just notice how much the city and the whole region have really been waiting for this joined us. and always with that conviction that armenia bielefeld a club who can compete in the bundesliga again. having got here armenia bielefeld are determined to stay and we look forward to keeping tabs on them throughout the season. these are trying times for shock over the latter half of last season and the club suffered an unexpected collapse in form now they have to respond and call themselves back on the rails creative thinking is called for and then sometimes things just happen like one of the most heartwarming and thought provoking transfer stories of recent years. when you consider as you don't need much more motivation. a cool club. i mean that was enough.

because it's 12 years playing in the goodness league and he's always schooled consistently he's one of the league's best ever strikers you need. a daddy piece of the tried and trusted goal grabber swaps berlin for girls in care he may be 36 now but he most definitely isn't lacking in motivation. didn't come here and money to keep playing in the. and that's what makes this story so unusual piece of it is dispensing with his basic salary at shell. working with my advice is also donate the money i have to be paid for insurance purposes. he's just happy to still be active in the just league and shop as younger players in particular can show. they benefit from both his experience and his mindset this

is. a remarkable story which shows as well how much faith. in the meantime the club's pressing priority is preparing for the opening match day and a trip to munich for the campaign curtain raiser to face the best team in europe and a familiar face to royal blues fans leroy sunday made his breakthrough at shall come. so ladies and gentlemen the wait is almost over things are all a bit different in these extraordinary times this season including the late start and there will be a crowded calendar more midweek matches and hardly any winter break. clubs will continue allowing up to 5 substitution sperm match. where there when and in what numbers fans can return to the stadiums will all be up to
