Christmas time. Most of the Business Leaders players and stop making their way home for a well midseason break before still fighting it out for the final 6 points on match day 17 bringing the 1st off the season to a close. Face spending the break in the boston 2 if they fail to win a game when youre playing ball. Even worse off they will finish being in the relegation zone godless of the results. Will be wrapping up a Crazy Campaign so far life left it late as they stormed to the bundesliga summit and whats been the tightest title race in a decade. Welcome to the bundesliga here on the view im nick mechanic line and joining me in the studio for the breakdown of all things the german football are 2 seasoned members of abundance league team welcome to the final show of the place to be here and to my left at mccambridge thank you dixon a very festive christmas its good to have you both here lets kick off and theres a lot of who welcomed a team who have taken to the bundesliga like a duck to water after a rough start their maiden top Flight Campaign they buckle down and find them some found themselves close at the european places in the relegation zone heading into the final match day. Last season just rudolph was over achieving new boys in the division this time around that has been the story of the new Campaign Still it was the home side who drew 1st blood in the 38th minute. Goal kick was helped along by oliver fink and ruben headings how much home his 11th of the season. One from the very top drawer just to go 1st go for. The new one came out on the front foot after the break though and just 3 minutes after the restart level went parkinson reacted quickest to punish a smoky clearance for much of your sim and give the travelling supporters something to cheer about. Just past the hour but im the dish was denied by stephan who stop this rebound before just rudolph finally managed to clear that lloyds when you were knocking on the door over seconds away when he sees. Those hopes were dashed by every tommy. In the 90th minute when he stole all 3. 44 to. Substitute tommy with a speculative effort. Would you stop progress cabbage off guard and steam off the post. Agazzi and to the 1st half of the season for the visitors crucial relegation Battle Points for the house. To warm the school as just to go finally put an end to their 6 game run in the city. Despite the defeats 20 points in 17 games is a good haul and what a season has been lets start with you tom that was your report tell us what you think it will be said historic season anyway for when you were in the bundesliga their 1st ever season in the top flight and there have been some fantastic highlights so far you know theyre flying higher than they expected to be at this stage in the season. Home victory of course a very historic moment against bruce your daughter and then of course they be head to berlin in the 1st leg of the darby this season they then of course the then table lead is glad back home so you know doubtless plenty of fun has been had that its a 1st right this season. A lot of us have a soft spot for your new team the bonus league whats been your no one moment so far well tom touched on a few of them there but i think if you asked any and what the best moment was it would have to be the one nil victory of a head to berlin on the 2nd of november absolute seems an incredible atmosphere the l. T. 1st of all that they can actually see their f. L. Each of which actually almost scrappy with his own ultras behind the ground to try to get them off the pitch to get the game sinister and just an absolutely fantastic victory one nil penalty from sebastopol to a living legend. And of course it is the 1st east meets west berlin bundle a good job in just an incredible occasion for german football and i think actually no matter what happens to anyone in the 2nd half of the season that all lives long in the memory of all of their fans its i mean theyve made memories enough so far and you know weve seen stickers start being spread around but when calling when youre on the capital see each. So you know theyre going to be perfectly happy with that whatever happens in the rest of the season but i dont mean to dampen the mood theres only 5 points between them and the team they lost against today just a little few in the relegation playoff spots the cubs on the 5 survival right yeah of course definitely and look like i mentioned all of those highlights that theyve had so far in the season theyve all been home so really one thing that they do need to work on the 2nd half of the season is their away form but if they can stay as strong as they have been at home and pick up a few extra points on the road then i think theyre going to be ok remember i live in the table at the moment lets say 5 points above the relegation zone crucially one point above had to go to balance or their fans would be very happy taking one to christmas to begin to move on now sundays 2nd match so frankfurt in action the eagles have claimed just one point in the bundesliga at the beginning of november bottom of the table part of them seemed just the right seemed just the right remedy for their plight for. The last one just league a match of 2019. Coach audi which was frankfurt have been banged up by a heavy schedule meanwhile Stephan Baumgartner padder born want to keep the hope of leaving the drop zone and that got off to a strong start. Trying his luck from distance in the 9th minute and he hit the target frankfurt keeper felix speed volved could only watch it go in the last place where having a better game and they made it to neil shortly before the break defender sebastian heading home a free kick patter born in command out after. He heard his men tried to erase the deficit after the restart but the most they could manage was a consolation goal from past doest 21 the final score batter born with their 3rd win of the season and the newly promoted team havent thrown in the tel just yet. With all the games the 2019 done and dusted lets have a look at the table. Live see the top for the next 4 weeks followed by one of the sub prize packages of the season but as you can see its incredibly tight just 14 point separate lives sig and outspoken 10th one of these teams will be fooled theres plenty of work still to be done with a relegation battle for all the sides in the bottom half now for the 1st time since 2009 we have a team other than buying a dorm at the top of the table at midseason the club and the Company Behind it have not shied away from the fact they want a title sooner rather than later in life sig is this their season and possibly their best chance as well i think absolutely 2 points clear at the top and crucially i think full put points clear or buy in which is sort of the odds that any budding potential champion is actually measuring themselves against the aspirant 3rd but they are the team that Everybody Needs to know you know that they need to finish ahead of if they want to win that the Bundesliga School more goals than anybody 2nd best offense in the league and in my opinion if not the best coach somebody that can change a game from apps you know where we saw that last week he gets proceed dortmund and also of course team of school 18 goals in 17 games and i think they can and may win the league if he stays fit you mentioned the coach there so i want to hear from now this is what i had to say after saturdays game. Its good for selfconfidence is always good to start the 2nd half of the season or having to leave position in the league we have a lot of situation where it can improve im looking forward to improve my team and get better and played nearly also a good 2nd half a season like we did in the 1st set of. The roughhousing hurdle was successful in his 1st seasons at the club but you cannot be a different caliber was he the missing link all along you know what i mean it was he brought quite a bit of fresh energy into lots of he has of course bill on the horizon who does work but i think a couple of things that are really important to lots you so far the season it touched on one is tactical versatility hes able to you know change the system within a game to react to different conditions as we saw against dortmund and he also of course has been getting the best out of his players so anybody who saw how sage cannot be developed under him hoffenheim you know understands why team is doing so well this season and those 2 things are going to be crucial once again forward they are very successful but will that be. The will they be the victim of their own success is possible i mean i think its very likely. Will move on some point if he does win when the blues they would like to see a lot talk of him maybe someday but i actually think hed leave the league you know if youve already won the british leader with one of the underdogs its almost a bit of a you know a lead balloon if you can just take over the team expected to win every season but i think you know possibly the loser but i think they take that if they won the league this year that be willing to lose the coach i think i would have to south and think theres too much reason for not was meant to go because you know lots of is one of the most exciting places to be in sport in terms if youre a young manager whos developing something new in german i mean european football at the moment and now his mind is very young hes got a long career ahead of him so i think you know they obviously love him in light city. For him i see no reason to hurry out of their german coaches are in high demand weve seen fluff and some of the german coaches in the u. K. But quite possibly want to have as many as their future. But that is the future lets talk about the present credit where it is dubai and of had a horrible 1st half of the season by their standards but hes turned things around. Hell be in charge until the end of the season as the top of have announced on sunday after being down and out are they back in the running i think theyre absolutely back in the one other that you can rule out the team is one the last 7 blunders League Titles in a row theyre only 4 points off the top theyre in 3rd place its been a disastrous season but by and standards but not by most Club Standards and weve seen the top of the league change had so much to build a slow bicycle race theyll be a lot of twists and turns still to go and i think one of the a very good chance of winning this but its the. This happens quite often the coach is brought in he has a good run hes told hes allowed to stay for longer and theres a dip in form and hes gone what is hands you fix for whats going to i mean he said he theyre going to be going to be down to the end of the season now and collins from a good came out and said that the club have been more than satisfied with his work so far so if it continues to you know produce the results that by munich astroid strive to achieve then i see no reason why you shouldnt stay a little bit longer he does lack a little bit of experience and obviously lets you know make no bones about it hes in the most high stakes job in german football hes going to get fired. There are no lights a. Club to say i want to summon the lives of Pep Guardiola or some along those lines but i dont see them getting anyone like that but there are 17 days to go well see how does it by munich thats almost all from us here on the bonus league but before we go we have an announcement to make after 4 years of be the highlights and talking points from germanys top flight this will be the last ever the bundesliga show in generally january youll find a program in this time slot called sports life and a revamped version of kickoff life will be bringing sports and football stories from around the globe.
