MATCH TOUR
Hamburg - Stuttgart. In this confrontation between the North and the South, the favorite is not named. The table is much higher than “Stuttgart”, but the Hamburgers have been regularly replenishing the eyewear box recently. Seven meetings without defeat turned the wards of Hub Stevens from outsiders into strong middle peasants. At the same time, the Stuttgart people do not please fans with stability. Losing a seriously injured sniper Mario Gomez is not easy to compensate. However, a convincing victory over “Alemannia” left the southerners contenders for a silver salad bowl. In previous years, voyages to Hamburg rarely brought Stuttgart luck. But last season he won the AOL Arena - 2-0. With the same score, Armin Fe team prevailed in the home meeting of this championship ...
UNEXPECTED INTrigue
“Bremen” - “Nuremberg”. The Bremen attack clearly lost its former sparkle. But, as before, the “white-green” is the most productive team of the championship. In this nomination they have no competitors. However, on Sunday the braid can be found on the stone. After all, “Nuremberg” is the least likely to lose and miss in the Bundesliga. Ivan Saenko and partners will surely be satisfied with the next world. But marking champions “Werder Bremen” can’t lose points. Especially in the match with an opponent whom he invariably beat in the previous four seasons with a total score of 17: 4.
DO NOT LOSE FROM THE VIEW
Belgian Bavarian Daniel van Beiten is able not only to defend well, but also to score at the right moments. This has been known for a long time - even in “Marseilles” he became the team's best sniper. The long-haired grenadier has often been criticized lately. But on Tuesday, he became the hero of Munich, brilliantly playing with AC Milan. Thanks to the double of the Belgian away, Bayern have good chances for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
IMPORTANT WORDS
“The bosses of the Dortmund Borussia are doing everything for the team to fly out. They sent the poor fellow Ricken and Kring to the double, although I would first get rid of Cork’s manager and Metzelder’s defender. The purchases made by Cork speak for themselves: players like Valdes, Tinga and Pienar pull the team down. But Metzelder only knows that he can complain to the cameras after the lost matches. In the summer he leaves and he doesn't give a damn about Borussia. Thomas Doll made only one mistake so far - he signed a contract with this club, " - famous in recent past scrap midfielder Mario Basler .
BEAUTIFUL NUMBERS
Only after 4 months will be able to begin training defender of the “Bavaria” Willy Sagnol. An experienced Frenchman seriously injured his knee, faced with the Milanese Kaka in the Champions League match. Doctors insisted on the need for surgery, so the season for Sagnol is over. He will return to duty only at the beginning of the next Bundesliga championship.
