where the improv happens. from the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery ok i see. what is the 1st word you need to 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 just strut their brilliance and this season will be notes.

the action kicks off on september 8th 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 they'll be more sleepless nights ahead i have this great cup makes a travel i thought that was my most spectacular experience and. i covers and i've seldom seen such a close knit group of players. and 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 about to lose and i and i are a huge club we teach ambitions and that suits me fine of social for me sundays excited to be back in the league where he 1st made his name with shall i say it's good when players like him return he's a child in the bundesliga. i. think everyone wants to see these players leeroy something is good for the whole league not just gone because of the. 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 the coronavirus they were just beat unlike a lot of other teams that fly in the one every game since at home and abroad not to lose them but we also did the best job of dealing with the whole situation and the titles are we won't leave the site that shows the teams. strengths and their

determination and they're hungry for that so nice a strong title norrington and see if they underestimates transformation from midfield work horse to on field leader was vital to byron's travel success him in your short kimmage running the engine room the future looks bright as well. by a young and ambitious the quality 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 anybody. we haven't come over and i mean your friends get on the same page everyone's fantastic you have a lot of them come to train in time and it's just a great bond funds the flick has nurtured a spirit of togetherness in a squad that's what stands out performers from back to front by and swept the board thanks to their consistent collective endeavor and many of these players are still young. people but you cannot bring. commish we're talking

about players who can turn out for another 8 years at the highest international level the 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 is for me the target simple win as many titles as possible in the champions league rights of i have never won that's a good one already the best in the business on current form fire and have given themselves a further upgrade with the rice and a special skill set. and of equal to you already missed to have the best german players here and beyond and we've added another gem to the collection to bring these in yet some team for me we leave on sunday were very well covered out teaching best and also often alston. visits the club to be his everything in a more hopeful that he's got great close control he'll take a risk and has the situational awareness to create chances. 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 it's the travel 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. want to see is of course last season's runners up 2nd place behind all conquering byron is pretty good going but for all that money can't help but wonder when the basket full of talent at their disposal well managed to take them all the way to the title and how the public should they go with any statement of intent. and having a goal in formulating it's a 2 different things that i did go on the offensive late last season about what to expect from us that's basically stick by that's good you know maybe just formulates its is going to doing a bit better this time in every competition but the obvious and best as. a

new season means a new chance to reach their goal here is restart preparations were split between home chairs and switzerland. and had to move back in there ready to. work hard in 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 born to camp. 17. just turned 1720 just turned 20 and all 15. i'm starting to feel those now actually when you say so and when they chose them but. because in the future we will see a lot from them. to be a show from a coco. 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 older. building a 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 you know i want to try . and i think to do that you have to specs of the game regardless of how good. she oh he'll be 18 in november but he already has a solid half season abundance league experience under his belt he's a prime example of the youthful free spirit that permeates this door in the squad. you know makes feel like we're located z. and playing used team or in the back yard so yeah it was really fun you know 171719 year olds and 20 year olds so that's really fun for everybody like. the leader of

the pack is jaden sanchez actually he's already a star he was dortmund's talk provider last season and their top score quite a lineup but you do have to balance it with experience out there on the pitch players like mats hummels emery john and new arrival thomas menino. these were signings not only of good footballers who also on field leaders who can help guide the younger plans up to the level of one of them. amid all the hard work there's enough time for fun as well as many matches and plenty of laughter all helping cement the team bond will certainly need to sustain another assault on the top. as far as that goes where do they stand. some of them definitely up with the best in theory anyway in sales about football in quality for qualifying rounds and it's on the paper every game. preferably also every training

session. winners from other teams and that's what we have to work because. you have full 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. free body 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.

they've shown they can cause the big names real problems with their performances in the champions league. a core feature of the leipsic approach is the regular development of top talents in tip top class stars. cano is the latest complete with a contract extension and 1st senior call up for france. 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 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 they lost their voices screaming at the television it's an exciting moment for me to like to get protests also emphasizes continuity the object is to have a team there is 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 painter that she arrived 2 years later from r.b.s. 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 builds a 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 because an academy. teams in europe and the champions league and. of course it wasn't easy was to go there to come. and i think especially in the bundesliga you can represent. the leipzig where coach elian not was mine will continue to pursue and refine it in his 2nd season at the helm he's already got them to the latter stages of the champions league in the bundesliga there fixing on the very summit. i hope it happens at some point. 3 years apiece at dortmund liverpool i think we'd all be happy with it soon . 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. but 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 meister shot looms ever larger but they're not the only ones with their eyes on the prize. to. mention gladbach are back among the big boys stirring memories of a golden era when the foals took the football world by storm history as an incentive almost an obligation and a new season to be approached and high spirits. 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 a working holiday focus he can do that. cost

a fortune 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 on the prospects of the champions league chica post office a few moments the atmosphere is very pleasant says wants him to stay focused and keep working on the things that need to be prioritized well heading into the season and then he said but food and song we're having fun as well. no complaints so far so steve night mako those is the architect of this clock by the surgeon's spurstow year in the job he's.
