Who played against whom and how?
Which game couldn’t you miss?
Hoffenheim against Leipzig. We wouldn’t have thought of it before this match day, but there was a football game in Sinsheim on Saturday afternoon that we actually only know from the console. Let’s try to adequately summarize the seven-goal madness. A club from the provinces (TSG Hoffenheim) threatened with relegation welcomed the potent champion contender from the big city (RB Leipzig), and for the first time with a new coach at their side, whose CV has included such giants of world football as FC Großklein and TSV Hartberg and Sturm Graz stood (Christian Ilzer). The favorite from the big city took the lead three times, the last time even through an own goal from a Hoffenheim player. But Hoffenheim managed to turn things around and freed themselves from the quagmire of the class struggle (13th place). A game so versatile and varied, not even Dietmar Hopp could have written a program like that.
Which game could you have missed with a clear conscience?
About Volkswagenstadt Wolfsburg Gossiping is almost part of the basic equipment of every German football fan who doesn’t work for the local Nochwelt group. Hopefully no one else’s weekend was made more difficult by watching the 90 minutes between Wolfsburg and Union Berlin, before kick-off there were clashes between Union fans and the Wolfsburg police. Maybe it will give everyone who is currently worried about their jobs and their future in the Autostadt Wolfsburg a little hope that the football club was able to celebrate victory after a late moment of luck.
Who was in the spotlight?
The old one FC Bayern. The new FC Bayern defeated FC Augsburg 3-0 with three Harry Kane goals, Kane said afterwards that he was perhaps in the form of his life. Bayern had already built an impressive six-point lead after matchday 11. Of course, the old FC Bayern had known all this for a long time. The honorary president Uli Hoeneß (who, according to information from this medium, has been in the form of his life for 72 years) hit the drums at a forum in a Swiss business newspaper in accordance with the old Tegernsee custom and claimed: “What I can promise is the German championship .” A sentence so full of Bavarian self-obsession that, according to rumors, Markus Söder would like to have it tattooed on his rump. What we can promise after this weekend: Uli Hoeneß is still the same.
