It's possible. See what I did there. We made 437 out of 540 passes for the match, made six blocks. We drew in three kicks in dangerous areas as we were fouled twice in the final third May 25. Clearances. Holstein kill had 26, made 91 of final third entries, and now for the bad, we turned over the born dangerous positions.

69% accurate passes in the final third, only completing 106 of 154. The same for long balls with a poor accuracy with 40% only completing 19 of 48 in total. All over the pitch, 72% of challenges. One would be at least like this to be 75%. In the contrary, the worst defense in the league, Holstein Keel completed 81% of their challenges.

rd minute louv.[: 00:09:00

What the heck were you thinking? You only had five more minutes left in the game, and then you made those substitutions that should have been made a lot more earlier, and we had zero interceptions for the whole game.

Three things we learned. V Holstein Gil number one. There's a lot of Luv. Doesn't know what to do when a team is outplaying him, yet he's going to need to fix that quick smart as we play a top four side next week against Ihr, Frankfurt and other top sides in the coming weeks. Number two, RB Leipzig have now extended their Bundesliga record unbeaten streak against promoted sides to 36 matches.

er looked so bad without our [: 00:10:00

And with Peter gci now injured for what appears to be at least two weeks with a concussion, Martin Vanderbilt has his chance to secure the number one spot between the sticks for the foreseeable future.

Now let's have a look at the Player Watch Players for this match before we go into the detailed of the game. And those Player watch players were for Holstein Kil, it was Phil Raz. Phil wasn't picked to start this game and came on for Gold Score Macino in the 79th minute.

te flurry from RBL, but also [: 00:11:00

To secure all three points for RBL. It was Kris Baum. Gardner Bamy played the full 90 minutes and was the replacement for Chubby Simmons, which was predicted by the podcast. He had 61 touches for four total shots. Three off target missing one big chance. He made 22 of 33 passes with an accuracy of 67%, attempted two long balls.

One came off at 50% success. Baia was involved in 12 grand duels, winning six also at 50% success rate. For Ariel Jewels winning three at 75% success rate, lost possession 22 times, fo twice, and committed one foul. Himself made four tackles and one clearance, and according to the one football lab he had a match rating of 2.4, which I have no idea how that is possible, but I would rate him closer to a 7.0.

so much and managed to take [: 00:12:00

RBL may have extended their Bundesliga record unbeaten streak against promoted sides to 36 matches, but they dropped out of the top four only briefly after becoming from behind to draw one one with the bottom of the table, Holstein Keel. Had won back to back league matches for the first time since December live.

Zg were big favorites here against Low League Keel. A strong start reinforced that tag, though an opener never came their way. With Benjamin Sesco firing their best chance wide of the near post in response to visitors, came close to breaking the deadlock in audacious fashion when Steven Binky attempted to fire over Pete Achi from the center circle, but the Hungarian stopper recovered to par the ball to safety.

in possession. Having lulled [: 00:13:00

Riky was released down the right and squared the ball arriving. Atto Macino. Who edged ahead of his markup and rifled home as the stalks kept up the league's Only 100% scoring record on the road this term. C Baum Gardner directed a presentable chance wired from a set piece soon after the restart, but di rotten Bullen struggled to make any impression in the second period as well.

y visiting Goalkeeper Thomas [: 00:14:00

Five of SESCO's previous six goals have come at home and he bagged another one here as he coolly slotted home from the penalty spot sitting up a grandstand finish. Momentum was family with RBL, but app Pender saw his strike ruled out offside before D. Denied BAM. Gardner and EF Parson as Ke will hold on for a draw that brings them to within three points of the relegation playoff place, even if they failed to win despite the opening scoring for a third successive game after the game.

mented what we set out to do [: 00:15:00

We were sloppy, lost our balls, our counter pressing wasn't optimal and kill. Then made it one N, not entirely undeservedly. We showed a different face in the second half. I also believe that we have everything we need to win the games, but we must try not to have such bad halves anymore because that always makes life difficult for us.

And if we stop that, then we certainly can win in Frankfurt too. Lucas Klosterman. So going back chronologically, we have gotten off to a really good start. In the first few minutes, we felt like we had two really good chances after just three minutes, and we were very assertive. And over the course of the first half, to be honest, we simply lost the ball too many times, which they then repeatedly invited, which meant we never really got into the game.

for us. The problem was that [: 00:16:00

I've seen the pictures again after the game and it looked really bad. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it's nothing major. Marcel Shafer, RB lab's, exporting director. I think we had two or three great opportunities in the first 10 minutes to take the lead straight away. Then we made one or two mistakes.

o matter who you're against, [: 00:17:00

We have to be honest with ourselves.

And finally it was lu Louv. We started very well. We were aggressive for the first 10 minutes we the ball in a lot of opponent's. Half we have created half chances or quarter chances from those, but after the first 10 minutes, we became increasingly insecure with the ball, losing it more and more easily.

If one player started it, the next one caught on, and then the total was just too much that unsettled the team. And of course, K simply realized and sensed that there was something to be gained here today. Then we gradually got back into the game and I was happy with the last 20 to 25 minutes and a game like this where a lot of things are going against us and we became insecure due to frequent turnovers.

we fight against it we'll be [: 00:18:00

There is a further update on Peter G's condition also later on in the show.

Now let's talk about these goals. The first goal of the game from Holstein Keel as the stalks continued their a hundred percent record on scoring in every away Bundesliga game this season. A feet not done by any other Bundesliga team. They were pressing for the opener at least 10 minutes before the goal, which was scored in the 44th minute, scored by STO Macino and assisted by Stephen Binki.

ack and was goal side of all [: 00:19:00

And all he had to do was square up the ball or cross the goal, which he did with the first time. Touch Toto Macino, who found himself Gog site of Costa and Kovich, who buried it home past Peter GCI and made it one nil. Now, how could we have prevented this one? There's not much we could have done. Once the play was switched, all passes had to be perfect and on point.

A first time pass is difficult, especially as the ball slows up on the pitch. It's not completely on Costa and Kovich here, but he does need to do better and get goal side so he can block the pass by making a clearance, but the young lad tries hard. We also need to be more careful, giving up a lot of space on the other side of the pitch, which is unfortunately a drawback of playing a goin pressing style football when not in possession.

called out most recently in [: 00:20:00

and the second goal of the game in the 74th minute from a penalty scored by Benjamin Sesco. The penalty was given by a foul from Holstein kil keeper Thomas Ner on Laura s Pender for bringing him down in the box. This time it was RBL who were pressing hard for an equalizer, but as they were booed off the pitch at halftime, which led to two immediate changes, Costa and Kovich off for the Tre Keytruda and Arthur Ver Miran off for Amadou Haddara.

The buildup play was well, worked from the right hand side, essentially with players at completing pass and goes. Lots of good movement off the ball, not just by the play on the ball. Nicholas Ald, who was good all game with his passes, played a lovely dinked logged ball over the stalks defense into space, which Louis app Pender got on the end of.

He got one touch on the ball [: 00:21:00

If anything, the contact was from the keeper's left hand on Appenders, right boot. Cisco stood up to the spot and buried at home, firing the ball to the keeper's, right as he guessed the wrong way, and the scores of one, one. And even after a athlete flurry, the worst defense in the bunga held off di Rotten.

ayers for Holstein Keel were [: 00:22:00

A now it's time for the suspension and injury list update, starting with Peter Gache, who was taking a hospital for further examinations after a collision in the kill game, our goalkeeper suffered a concussion and injured his right ear. Pete has also been kept overnight and was sent home after 24 hours.

Observations. He will miss at least one to two weeks full concussion protocols and will be on light training this week with the OR. Band and David Realm. Were both not fit enough to play against Q after recent muscular problems. They're at option for the weekend against Irak Frankfurt if they get through team training this week.

l wasn't in the squad due to [: 00:23:00

He should be an option for the Frankfurt game on Saturday night. Antonio OSA has started completing parts of team training last week and may be available as a substitute for the weekend. Both Benjamin Hendricks and Xavier Schlager are progressing and is working on their comeback in live. Zg. Schlager may be an option on the bench in the second week of May.

Now let's preview the eTrack Frankfurt game, the Battle four Champions League. I've dub this as Ara Frankfurt hosts the Red Bulls on Saturday night at 6:30 PM Central European standard time. The Eagles are three points ahead and are also ahead by plus six on the goal differential and have scored 10 more goals than us.

thout, , Cara and Mario Goza [: 00:24:00

Games RBL will need to defy history and their current form after their shambolic performance against the worst defense in the league where they managed to salvage a point after being awarded a penalty in the 73rd minute against Holstein Keel. The Eagles on the other hand are playing to be promoted to the Champions League after making the Europa League quarter finals where they lost to Tottenham Hot Spur two one on aggregate.

last two matches. Untracked [: 00:25:00

And player watch in this game for both sides will be for Ihr Frankfurt. It's Nathaniel Brown and attacking left footed. Left back. Who's one of the top players creating chances in the bun's? Leaguer. In the position and only at 21 years of age. He's not only going to need every little piece of defensive acumen to hold off the pacey fullbacks from RB on the right side, but also help out his center backs with the likes of a Pender, SESCO and Chavy causing havoc wide and in semi central positions, he'll need to be on top form trying to create chances and close down the space to squeeze out the creative gameplay from di Rotten balloon.

t injured for the time being [: 00:26:00

What I'd like to see in this match with my lineup, we missed a big chance to rotate some youth and gain valuable experience in the top division in German football as we got nothing else out of that one, one draw besides a undeserved point in my opinion. No chance of rotations here needing to play our best squad possible for the remaining games.

Look for improvement in playing out from the back, not giving away the ball cheaply, and creating more chances with Chavy Simmons returning, giving the site that special something which we lack when he is not on the pitch. A typical 4 4 2 formation with Martine Vanderbilt in go Replacing the injured Pedic achi.

with the Orban and Costa and [: 00:27:00

Onto predictions, RBO are only ninth, best, or wayside in the competition. Well, the Eagles of fourth best side in the competition and have only lost three at times at home all season against Lein Mine and Union Berlin. The biggest hurdle RBL need to overcome is the psychological effects of the host and kill game.

lose against a side without [: 00:28:00

RBL won't make history on this one, but will slowly turn their fortunes around with a two two draw against the eagles as I fully expect us to drop this winnable game going by. Past results and RBL struggling to get over the psychological effects of the previous game, a Chavy refreshed will do some brilliance to either score directly or have a score involvement in this one and Louis app Pender will be caught off site again, as he so often does.

he show for free in the show [: 00:29:00

Just the one that submission today from RL nine Louis fan on Instagram they say wasn't the best game in the first half. We lost the ball a lot and struggled to create real chances in the second half. It was the same until we scored the goal. Then that's where we started playing good and creating chances.

But we wasted and failed to score a second goal. We almost did it. It was offside. And also there is something wrong with luv's substitutions. He subbed on yui at the 90th minute, took too late to sub an attacker on. I don't know why the three best players were. Number one, Benjamin Sesco, goal scorer, and a good match.

Number two, Louis Pender won the penalty plus offside. Goal number three, Nicholas ald. He did really well in midfield and created two goal scoring chances, hoping for a better match on Saturday in ME lab Zg Leipzig.

Now let's dissect that [: 00:30:00

So when I look for another manager for RBL, we need someone who is going to be a very strong person mentally and also out on the training ground who's going to get all these bad habits outta the players because if we do that, we are easily going to be making European Champions League every year and not have these issues going forward.

aid there, there's something [: 00:31:00

Of his caliber did not be making simple mistakes like that after the penalty went through. If the tide wasn't changing and it slowly was, but we weren't really still creating the chances that we were having, then why don't we change it up? You know about the 81st minute, we'll change it up as soon as we've scored that goal because the momentum's now shifted our way.

creative and are gonna have [: 00:32:00

fluence on a positive way, I [: 00:33:00

The only difference with that one is that I don't think Louis or Pender. Was second best. I think he was third only because of that offside goal as Louis app. Pender just really needs to watch himself being offside. It almost gets offside every single game, and he's so fast and so quick off the mark.

There's not many defenders or fallbacks in world football that I'm gonna be able to stop him, especially not in the Bundesliga. So he really doesn't need to be going so early if he can just. Get that out of his game, that would take him to the next level and he was gonna get more chances. And with his quality, he's going to take those chances and score more often.

But it's like he gets a little bit too excited and then just, you know, jumps the gun a little bit early, for lack of better terminology, and gets himself offside.

[: 00:34:00

Executing the skills out on the pitch. So I want to lean towards a win. But after being humiliated at home against the worst defense in the league, I just struggled to see us getting any better than draw. And we are gonna need to get points in these four games and as many points as we possibly can. Even if it, we only just get.

to be really struggling next [: 00:35:00

But let's be optimistic and cheer on the lads in Lab Zg. So if you're traveling there, make sure that you travel safe.
