Another fascinating season in germanys top flight thrilling games with spectacular goals. Time served superstars and young guns out to emulate the moments just stir the emotions or simply a step down one wife or the other. All coming up now in our review of the season with a difference. This was a season like no other at times bizarre extraordinary and anything but predictable but. Lets start from the beginning byron versus how tough a less than scintillating start for the defending champions. To break up shanking. Going. Up to the winter break it was an intense 4 way tussle at the top with mike sigman leading the pack at the midway mark. He. To the little bit to my. Old reliable stepping up once again but also with some new faces for Company Coming hot stuff is one of. The but the same doctors sort of stuck to the 1st suggestion. The fun continued in the new year even as byron eased back into dominant mode then came march 11th la beouf vs cologne the leagues 1st game behind closed doors after that everything stopped the coronavirus put the season on hold playing football was quite out of the question but some players kept busy lending a hand where they could to help others in greater need. For the money we just want to give Something Back and sure were part of society says otherwise the mantra was stay at home for the players that meant adapting to a new influence fitness regime. Byrons laon good as the and your meanwhile launched the initiative we kick around out in support of social organizations. Mind infant i feel the leaks never stood closer together and talk. After the homework outs came the gradual reintroduction of Team Training one cautious step at a time towards an eventual restart the bundesliga devised a meticulous hygiene plan to make that possible and the season could get going again under strict conditions on may 16th after a break of more than 9 weeks the time had come. Richard the good news legal fees. Of the pool was really important because germany is one of the Biggest League in the wall was an example for a lot of other countries how to have an idea to cope with. The bundesliga blazing a global trail minus the fans of course but even so the goals kept flowing in europes highest scoring top. Clique with drama aplenty through to the finish and one thing unchanged for the years before byron defended their title yet again. Prince of darkness at this age sounds difference it feels difference and no its not the blue misleader as we once its and love it but its the only one misleader that was possible and a little bit of this championship belongs to everyone for what weve achieved over the past weeks that strength that feeling is something that should carry us into the future. By celebrated wrapping up their straight title before winning the german cup as well and in leroy sinai they have another top star already signed up for next season. Lets look back and examine just why this was such a special season for by and. Large theyre shocked to celebrate something. And 8 straight title but the road said this one was quite unique we question 3 champions past and present you know it best. To look at what makes the most to show as special is its history just thinking of all the great players who choices in the past and the symbol of a Job Well Done long term a tell us a company the team even before the season starts. In buying off those with buy in on the us tour and watch their games there against ac milan and real madrid they showed enough to make you think if they can build on this bundle be tough to beat at the saddle again which of my sense of good but even bolstered by world cup winners by jimmy and lucas and now this plus start loney the coccinea by and struggled just 5 wins after much they tend to have a windy yours and then the 51. 00 loss of friends 1st and thats it for nico batches of the dialogue and for 40 percent so like 65. 00 thats. But i think that sums up i think the signs were there what happened here today doesnt really surprise me that. Something has to change going to be then came the game against dortmund germanys el classico this is huge this is the for the straight guy this is just last attack. It was pretty much the moments where we regained our self belief and trusted in our own ability again. As an absolute killing machine. To stall goals. To stall goals how to seduce a turnover is nice. I. Feel i. Daresay but trusts. Go down. You know so worked up. Starting with this 4 nil when the new head coach handy flick was a decisive factor in by and success of a lot of one to one talks and he gave us a clear idea of what he expected he says we should mention if he does it the interpersonal skills he says you learned under your pine tree seem to be working pretty well flick also gave the team a tactical make over i think as well as switching a few positions around you also change the system assist the intensive pressing the pitch and the players like to bring your father. Flying with fast regaining thats why i guess they spent the winter break 4 points behind leaders like think. That ive no doubt them would win the title. With all of the current fresh on the Management Board in the 2nd half of the season by unclaimed 49. 00 out of a possible 51. 00 points a new bill does make it benchmark to run on 51st family simply the best teams the 50 best attacks the best defense with players who stepped up and maybe made the difference in the big games as against altman or fly. In that case it was your kidney. Excuse me the midfield pairing of kim aiken gorecki was for me but like a crucial factor in addition to that kind of quality in the engine room also the physicality and presence they bring already called a Solid Foundation for success there. Of course team by an couldnt have done it without the leagues top scorer robert levy. Downstream likes it and see for goals in the season and the record breaking provided Thomas Miller saw those days not as good as soon as the goals and alfonso davies. Edge all that helped add up to a 29th bundesliga title with a 42. 00 german cup final victory over labor cusanus sealing the double and forward planning already in full swing. 18 years young signed from paris hes rated as one of europes top defensive prospects. And the next marquee addition to buy and star on song Germany International leroy so night from manchester city. To be closer to you now i am used to bring the best german players to bland and didnt leave i weve certainly acquired a real time for colin brown was not himself but i know obviously a very big club with very big targets and of course those targets of fine by me. Most of the show for me things were getting easier for violence rivals next season and one man will be hungry for more. And. Hes the most prolific known german after the bundesliga has ever seen. This season to the top scorers can and for the 5th time. Hes the 1st. To ever find the net on each of the seasons 1st 11 match days. Byron scored 100. 00 goals this campaign and 34. 00 came from a profit 11. 00 scheme. Here they are. Playing from a spokesman a place. Thats close to. Just. Go. To. Sleep with such a step. Up to shut up. For the citizen living. Somehow the. Coach even comes up most likely a player to slow play with straight face putting in some runs it. Seems hopeless. To play rather slim dusty places want to strike is what. Wasnt such a place to. Come up with the goal. Was to get. The job. Done so while. Still slumps images come down to a budget problem. But not every club head smooth sailing this season glocks. Playbook on the flow but bounced back up. Kimmie look im sure braden are still in the biz league after a dramatic finale and hide unhide. The. Secure lead to put it back to sleep its the end of a dream versus unbridled relief the relegation play off kept the tension of full talk right to the finish. The final match day and vertebrae men were up against it after a damaging 31. 00 loss at meits the previous week the 4 time german champions now had to be alive and hope rivals off slipped up but when your early. Yesterday was all or nothing game and today we got all that i did against cologne brain and words he transformed truly extraordinary it is 6 wonder nobody could have predicted this would happen but he had pretty incredible that resoundingly victory coupled with just a loose defeat in berlin hoisted further into 60 the play off place 1st step is done we will do this today on this were very good very good under a big presence we have nothing against the family 2 games against hyde and hi im surprised 3rd place finishes in the 2nd division in the 1st leg at braman visit study and the underdogs but its all to a goal a Strong Performance because if you want to give my sense before hand we wanted to retain a chance of maybe pulling off a sensation in the reserves once a shelf but in their own backyard hide unhide suffered an early setback with just 3 minutes on the clock fullback norman toy a childs attempted clearance went badly wrong its a. Better way to get just the stuff that requires that left hide unhide needing to and brain than firmly in the driving seat you know today of course of course the the fast goal helped us in the game the hosts kept plugging away but there were no more goals forthcoming from either side until 5 minutes from the end. But my kids. Thanks jim. Sometimes right number. 5 minutes left plus for those 6. It would have been in keeping with the season if wed see literally. Vetter on a knife edge again until the 94th minute this is bottles on side but also the right for a balcony. I dont like to fly as i hide behind still had time to score again from the spot but the tool draws so bright and over the line oh no white girls. Can have a noble title or sheer relief its been such a tough season repeatedly written off but we never gave up and im standing here in hard hyman was still in the bundesliga also a brave and buoyant titan home heartbroken and fruity i just feel beats and draws and you still come up short its difficult to grasp and it hurts. After this closest of playoffs braman are still in the bundesliga but next season theyll be without one of their all time greats. 2 legends say goodbye to the bundesliga cloudy open sorrow and mario gomez have hung up their boots and each in the service of the club where they respect of the lead rose to fame. One final celebration with his teammates one last task accomplished cloudy apposite are a bounce out with brains top flight status intact. Fittingly upbeat note on which to end more than 20 years active service in germany. You want us your name to know and i think my motivation to keep training and enjoying myself out on the pitch has kept me in the game this lone part of sharing the fun of football with my 2 nights. Bizarros brilliant going to sleep good career over the course of it but now 41 year old peruvian forward has racked up more appearances than any other known german player. Finishing where he started at freeman back in 999 up the way down to just settle down started with german football terminology and learn the language gradually from their. Little company in the 197 buddhist league or goals across 3 decades leaving him 6th on the all time scoring chart the song had 4 different spells with better and 2 with biron where he won 6 german titles and where in the twentys 1213. 00 season he crossed paths with another frontline legend whos also now bowing out of. Sorrow. But it. Was a long side the sorrow gomes a troubled winner with byron in 2013 and now freshly promoted with stroke cart the club where he broke through as a young gun and where he returns to close out his own considerable career with a goal on the final match day and stuttgart upward bound to get him. Off to me its the final step that i really have to take. I was absolutely determined to bat here as a bundesliga player. Gomez helped stuttgart win the title back in 20072 more follow defier class the Champions League in 2013170 goals and 328 top flight outings now hes made the call his playing days are open and. Enjoy time with my family and friends which often step back from it all also to get a sense of what i really miss about football ill certainly stay involved in it in some way. As well while the o. P. s are all in all likelihood but for starters hes also looking forward to some quality downtime with his family in germany i want to be got to me its my home from home ive lived here almost. And you want my years and there is every chance ill be staying here as well you know cloudy or pizarro im to mario gomez to banderas legal goal grabbing greats have departed the stage thanks for all the memories. For the 2nd year running dortmund down like they claimed the top 2 places behind by and in the final standings neither quite showed the consistency to push the chaps right to the finish but most teams impressed with their dynamic attacking football. Competitive athletes have an instinct for constant self improvement and to improve on the run is up but can only mean one thing. You know if you have to set your sights high we started into the season aiming to be champions and with our squad thats the only target you can have. You should always be aiming for the maximum possible return. For us that means winning the title or the return of defensive linchpin mats hummels from bion reflected that ambition on the transfer front and for the other and fresh firepower in the joint form of union brands. And so organized. It but did well but the early parts of the season didnt really live up to expectations dortmund struggled for consistency winning just 3 of their 1st 7 games in early november they face by in munich and got taken apart. By. Night to get the muscles. From the final whistle. But does it also spin under the mission was a far away form continues like this we wont be champions end of story you dont need to know much about football so my words but a lot can change yet obviously it wont happen by itself. It will be hard work and i think everyone is aware of that. Sort of stuff for this reason. That ultimate season targets already threatening to drift out of range one of the youngest stars kicked into top gear Jaden Sanchez serving up goals and assists in equal regular measure on his way to being the top story for the campaign. Every season as a target. You know im getting close to this target this season or. Last season for a quarter from here since to compete in myself i for. One want to win on this one time in a team you know different but i think on the pitch. At the midway mark they were 7 points off the top and 3 behind by and to my catching winter arrivals work earmarked to help close the gap embrace shot a new lead in the middle and telling holland one of europes most coveted young forwards he wasted no time showing just why. To. Take you hat trick off the bench 6 goals altogether in his 1st 72 on field minutes abundance league a record holland was proving a very good fit for dont. Have a good start and. Proud of this but also this is another lie from the forbess through to achieve something with the theme now they were really in that group 9 wins in the 1st 10 match days of 2020 with the attack firing on all cylinders and defensive stability markedly improved towards the end of my they played host to leaders by an index. Seeking to close a 4 point gap. It seems acknowledging a plan for this monster of a game anything could play this is jackass into a battle of equals but with no happy end for dortmund. Blah blah blah. Once again old family had to make do with 2nd place fresh fuel to fire the ambition for the next hill to the top not bit more experienced and with new faces on board thomas many a has already been signed from paris to bolster the defense the process of self improvement continues which also happens to be like 6 i. Think. The 1st time. In 20192020 life to where team with a clear idea that only the young hungry players with the courage to attack can put opponents under pressure i do scoring goals with a combination of counterattacking and possession play consistent controls high speed football. No sooner said than done over the opening half of the season in particular light sic were often unstoppable. Hurdles. 48. 00 goals in 17 games a league best and half way of all the teams on the wrong end of the likes of fireworks none fared worse than mine so match day 10. Seconds ago the focus of the country comes. To face to face with the toughest of. Times its a little too close. It was great fun its normal i think when you have no victories and its always fun. Setting the bundesliga goal standard the points piled up at leipzig headed into the winter break with their due reward. In the autumn title as there is that with the habs by starlight said for the 1st time in over a Success Story delivered by yulia knuckles man fresh on board in the summer he soon had the players one over by his football philosophy and much more. Different from previous years hes young dynamic and full of energy its a good mix he likes to have fun but also demands a lot of the sounds on the pitch.

Seal 28 goals for team 0 there are now these recently left the club and moved on to chelsea.
