:

The Dimanche reports Theon RI is

22

:

Jurg lop, who has been in charge

of football at Red Bull since the

23

:

beginning of the year, supports

the 47 year olds appointment

24

:

according to the French newspaper.

25

:

Re's advantage after stepping down as

coach of the French Olympic team, the

26

:

former striker is without a club unlike

Oliver Glasner, crystal Palace, or

27

:

Sask Fabricas from Como, the Frenchman

wouldn't command a high transfer fee.

28

:

Incidentally, Andre is a shareholder

in the newly promoted Italian

29

:

series A club, which is coached by

his former Arsenal teammate, fga.

30

:

What else speaks for the likable bald man?

31

:

Rb Zi is looking for a coach who

prefers fast attacking football,

32

:

develops talent, and ideally has

already worked in the Red Bull universe.

33

:

Honorary meets these criteria, and

above all, he has the team's instincts.

34

:

Between 2010 and 2014, the World

and European champion, and played

35

:

for Red Bull, New York before

ending his legendary career.

36

:

After scoring 360 goals in almost 800

games and collecting an impressive

37

:

collection of titles following

the dismissal of Marco Rosa, RB.

38

:

Luzi currently have interim

Coach Lu Louv on the bench.

39

:

However, the 47-year-old has reportedly

emphasized that he wants to return to

40

:

his position as a football thought leader

in Red Bulls management this summer.

41

:

Then a new man is expected to take over.

42

:

Will his name be Thi Ri?

43

:

Report for Fabricas who turns

down interest from RB LBG as Sask.

44

:

Fabricas has been mentioned as one

of the top candidates to take over

45

:

as RB LBG coach in the summer,

but the Spaniard is apparently

46

:

not interested in taking the job.

47

:

Since Marco Rosa was dismissed

as RB lab Zg head coach at the

48

:

end of March, the club have been

searching for a long-term successor.

49

:

Now one of the top candidates

has reportedly ruled

50

:

himself out of the running.

51

:

According to Fabrizio Romano esque

Fabricas has turned down interest

52

:

from Dive Rotten Bullen Optin,

instead to continue his project with

53

:

the Italian side Como, where he's

already planning for next season.

54

:

The other leading name on RB

Live six shortlist is Oliver

55

:

Glasner, who is currently under

contract with Crystal Palace.

56

:

However, bringing the 50-year-old former

Iron truck Frankfurt coach back to

57

:

Germany could prove difficult, especially

as his deal with the Premier League

58

:

side does not include a lease clause

59

:

under 19.

60

:

Captain gets first professional contract.

61

:

Jonathan Norby has been rewarded for

his performances in RB lab, ZGS youth

62

:

System with a professional contract.

63

:

However, the under 19 captain's immediate

future doesn't lie at coag RB lab.

64

:

Zg has.

65

:

Signed a Norwegian Jonathan Nabo,

captain of the under 19 team with

66

:

a professional contract until 2028.

67

:

The 18-year-old has been playing for the

outh team since the summer of:

68

:

The Norwegian Junior International

moved to Cowe from his youth

69

:

club, Alta IF almost two years

ago in the club statement.

70

:

RB Lives supporting director

Marcel Shafer, president NoBoy.

71

:

Game of intelligence, a ball

technique, and robustness.

72

:

At 18, he's exciting player with potential

for development who has already gained

73

:

experience with the professionals.

74

:

We know his great potential and

are pleased to be able to continue

75

:

to support his development.

76

:

RB Lo Zg is still waiting for its

first young player to establish

77

:

themselves as a permanent player

in the first team so far, and boy.

78

:

Made a first team appearance under

the Marco Rosa on the final match

79

:

day of the 20 13 20 14 season.

80

:

The talent who will face Ihr Frankfurt in

the round of 16 of the under 19 bunga next

81

:

Sunday has been in the first team squad

for the last two Bunes Nega matches and

82

:

according to Sky, nor Boy will be load

out this summer to gain match practice.

83

:

Interested parties are reportedly coming

from the Netherlands, Belgium, and the

84

:

second divisions in England and Germany.

85

:

And last piece of news as well for

this episode is a bandage does not

86

:

make a leader in his debut as captain

of rb Zi Chavy Simmons played arguably

87

:

his weakest game of the season.

88

:

The Dutchman is currently overwhelmed as

a leader and needs some guidance himself.

89

:

Chubby Simmons stood perplexed with

a blank expression and empty hands

90

:

before the 1,200 odd Le Zika fans in

the Frankfurt Cauldron who greeted

91

:

by the four nil defeat with booze.

92

:

It was the young star's first

game as captain in the absence of

93

:

injured leaders at Willie All Band.

94

:

Peter Gal, David Ra Chavy, not

Lucas Klosterman, who has been

95

:

with the club for 11 years was

symbolically awarded the armband.

96

:

This to me personally, was

actually quite surprising.

97

:

But further with the article by

the Dutchman who just turned at 22,

98

:

wasn't inspired by the confidence

of interim coach Luke Luv, but

99

:

rather paralyzed at delivering

arguably his weakest performance of

100

:

the season in 75 minutes of play.

101

:

He didn't manage a single assist.

102

:

He had alone a shot on goal at the

beginning of his interim coaching tenure.

103

:

Interim coach as Louv has criticized the

playmaker quite harshly, which likely

104

:

didn't go down well with Chubby's Camp.

105

:

Chubby is an exceptional talent, but

he needs to get to the point where he

106

:

thinks much more in terms of teamwork.

107

:

His individual performance

is very important, but he

108

:

has to think about the team.

109

:

Lo Louv has appealed.

110

:

I.

111

:

He also demanded better free running and

more diversive commitment from the player.

112

:

Now, Louv changed course and verbally

rolled out the red carpet for Chavy.

113

:

He's trained with many

stars and seen many leaders.

114

:

He has acknowledged to

become a leader himself.

115

:

Louv said before the debacle in Frankfurt,

that won't happen overnight, but he has

116

:

the class and character to be a leader.

117

:

But the Playmaker is currently so

busy with himself that he's hopelessly

118

:

overwhelmed by the task of leading the

team in one scene when he desperately

119

:

wanted to take on responsibility,

he over enthusiastically stole

120

:

the ball from teammate Nicholas

Sal and almost lost it at times.

121

:

He wanted around the pitch disorientated.

122

:

At this stage of his development,

chubby needs guidance and a more mature

123

:

partner at number 10, or a stable backup

behind him to guide him like Danny Olmo

124

:

and Xavier Schlager did last season.

125

:

Left alone with teammates like Ride

or Baku and Christoph Baumgartner.

126

:

The social media star who is highly

talented in the game, but still

127

:

immature in character, is overwhelmed.

128

:

One of RB Lo six's fundamental problems

this season is that they don't have a

129

:

go-to guy, a man for difficult situations.

130

:

A player who gets the ball in

tricky situations and is sure to

131

:

do something sensible with it.

132

:

In recent seasons, Loeb Zg have

always managed to develop such

133

:

a player from within their own

squad, despite all the transfers.

134

:

When KU left, Danny Olmo

followed in his footsteps.

135

:

Marcel Saster was followed by

Dominic Zabolo and so on, but Chavy

136

:

hasn't been able to become that

player for the team this season.

137

:

The aforementioned players were all

guys who, despite their exceptional

138

:

talent, were completely at peace

with themselves and saw themselves

139

:

as equal members of the team.

140

:

With Chavy, one has doubts in this

regard, not only on the pitch, but

141

:

also within the team and privately.

142

:

The former prodigy with a gift for

brilliant passing and dribbling

143

:

is searching for himself.

144

:

Lieu of it declined at two.

145

:

Comment specifically on CHA'S performance,

keeping his demand more general.

146

:

Everyone has to put their own

interests and ego aside and

147

:

simply row in the same direction.

148

:

How long Chavy will continue

to row remains to be seen.

149

:

However, he parted ways

with his agent Britain.

150

:

Darren dying last week, a successor

has not yet been named in the

151

:

industry with a move is considered an

indicator of an impending transfer.

152

:

Chavy is likely to leave the club

before around 18 million Euro.

153

:

That is all for the news for this episode.

157

:

And now to recap the last game, there

was a lot of dot points that I had here

158

:

and I've condensed it quite a bit, so

it didn't seem to be quite negative.

159

:

As the way the human mind works, we

can seem to focus on the negatives more

160

:

so than the positives, and I wanted

to try to keep it around the same.

161

:

So for those who have never listened to

the podcast before and those who have

162

:

you do, it is just a quick reminder

that this is, goes in a detailed

163

:

section of good, the bad, the ugly,

which is what we did right, what we

164

:

did wrong and what we did really wrong.

165

:

So the good.

166

:

We had 483 of 550 passes, which were

accurate and added accuracy of 88%.

167

:

We have been quite low in recent

weeks with our passing accuracy.

168

:

We had 83% of challenges, one 10 in total

out of 13, which has also been quite high.

169

:

Uh, recently.

170

:

It's been quite low.

171

:

What we did wrong, bad.

172

:

There was a lot from here,

so I've just condensed it.

173

:

As I said earlier, undisciplined

commenting 13 fouls three

174

:

more than iron truck.

175

:

Frankfurt.

176

:

Two off sides pull from corners.

177

:

We had four and didn't look like

a scoring threat at any of them.

178

:

Only 10 touches on the

Iron Track Frankfurt box.

179

:

In the contrary, they had 31 touches in

our box, so definitely not being able to

180

:

get into advanced attacking positions.

181

:

And then from what we did

really wrong, the ugly.

182

:

Just the big one here.

183

:

Zero big chances created.

184

:

If you're not going to create a

big chance in the game, you're

185

:

not gonna be able to win it.

186

:

Three things we learned via Ihr Frankfurt,

number one, we are not champions League

187

:

material and Frankfurt deserve a UCL.

188

:

Finish number two.

189

:

Still not able to beat Ihr

Frankfurt in Frankfurt.

190

:

In the Buddhas liger, this was something

that was predicted before in the podcast

191

:

leading up to this game, and that's why

I said we had it stacked up against us.

192

:

And number three, this goes back to a

little bit of a news article earlier

193

:

about the chubby sevens captaincy, and

he's still unproven as a captain and

194

:

a leader of this club, but hopefully

he does get more chances and time to

195

:

develop into this role as not just

given it at the moment, to try to keep

196

:

him happy and keep him at the club for

long term as if he doesn't wanna stay

197

:

at the club, then who are we to leave

198

:

then?

199

:

Who are we to keep him at the club?

200

:

He should just be left to go elsewhere.

201

:

However, I don't mind Chubby Simmons being

a captain of the club, but in his current

202

:

state of his mentality and the way he's

as a player, he's just not there yet.

203

:

He's not developed mentally when it

comes to being a captain of a team.

204

:

Enough of the detailed summary and recap.

205

:

First we'll have a look at some play

the player watch players in this game.

206

:

And for Ahr Frankfurt,

it was Nathaniel Brown.

207

:

He played the full 90 minutes, had

47 touches for 27 out of 30 passes.

208

:

Successful at 90%, made one key

pass, one assist six crosses.

209

:

Three accurate at 50%, one shot

blocked, three outta four ground

210

:

jewels, one at 75% success rate.

211

:

Two clearances, one dribbled past.

212

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 8.0.

213

:

However, I would rate him around at 70.5.

214

:

For RBL, it was Martin, Vanderbilt

and Martine played the full

215

:

90 minutes, prevented 1.47

216

:

goals, made one punch, two high

claims made 30, sorry, that's 27 or

217

:

35 passes at a completion rate of 77%.

218

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 4.0.

219

:

I would rate him a 6.0

220

:

as it wasn't just him solely to

blame for letting in those goals.

221

:

I.

222

:

Irock Frankfurt gave their UFA

Champions League qualification.

223

:

Hopes a huge boost and a dented

RB Leipzig in the process by

224

:

thumping a di rotten bullen.

225

:

For Neil to earn a 30 consecutive Buns

League a home win without a conceding,

226

:

a disappointing draw against Holstein

kil last time and did its looked luvs.

227

:

Perfect.

228

:

League start.

229

:

As Le Zg intern boss and Benjamin

Sesco looked determined to return

230

:

his side to winning ways when he

took aim from 25 yards forcing

231

:

Kevin trap to tip over the bar.

232

:

I.

233

:

However, things soon got

worse for the visitors.

234

:

When Frankfurt broke the deadlock in

the 21st minute, Hugo Tki went to on

235

:

a driving run down the left before

sliding the ball through to Agana Knauf

236

:

in the center, and guided his second

league goal of the season and passed.

237

:

Martine Vanderbilt now came close

to doubling his tally five minutes

238

:

before the break when Tiki.

239

:

Again, teed up from the left,

but a crucial block from Che bu

240

:

kept live zigs deficit at one.

241

:

Though that was enough for

242

:

d Adler to lead at the break

as the visitors struggled

243

:

to create opportunities.

244

:

The Waysides hopes of a second

half turnaround were dashed within

245

:

minutes of the restart with canal,

again, the architect of their

246

:

downfall when bearing down on goal.

247

:

The 23-year-old was EC clipped on the edge

of the box by be Shabu, who was then shown

248

:

a red car by referee Mathias ADU back.

249

:

Arthur Thei powered the resulting

free kick at Vanderbilt, but he pared

250

:

it straight to Knauf, whose volley

flew past the rooted goalkeeper.

251

:

Dino on top, Muller's side

continued to dominate and.

252

:

With a quarter of the match

to go Tiki got in on the act.

253

:

Heading home.

254

:

Jean Mateo POAs Cross to draw level

with January departure, Omar Mamoosh as

255

:

Frankfurt's top goal score of the league

this season on 15 three became four.

256

:

Just five minutes later when

Robin Cox Rose at Heist.

257

:

At a corner and guided his

header in the near post late

258

:

Lewis app, Pender and Ride Baku.

259

:

Chances came and went as a zi failed to

grab a insulation goal, meaning they were.

260

:

Remaining Winless at Uch Share Park Bank.

261

:

Park after 10 wins, leaguer visits.

262

:

Meanwhile, iron Track Frankfurt

stay on track for a first

263

:

top three finish since 1993.

264

:

Establishing a six point buffer

inside the UFA Champions League

265

:

qualification places with this win.

266

:

Now let's dissect those goals.

267

:

There was four of them in total,

and the first was in the 21st

268

:

minute, which was the goal, scored

by a Knauf, assisted by Hugo Ick.

269

:

Following a fast break, the

buildup play started by losing

270

:

the ball in our attacking.

271

:

Third, as Benjamin Sesco lost the

ball and the Eagles transition

272

:

the ball quickly the other way.

273

:

Now, how could we have prevented this one?

274

:

This is where we get caught

out often on the break.

275

:

Overcommitting players forward

this time with our fallbacks,

276

:

Lucas Klosterman and Castella.

277

:

Lepa caught out upfront, too

far forward where they were

278

:

not able to backtrack in time.

279

:

One of them needed to sit back

as the other pushes forward.

280

:

The second goal of the game

came in the 53rd minute.

281

:

After the last man read challenge from

Chad Bbu, which I felt he was unlucky

282

:

as no matter how many times I watched

this, he didn't appear to touch him.

283

:

And if he does, it's ever

so slightly as it looks.

284

:

If he c courts him, it's only in the

grass and not the eventual scorer al.

285

:

So by that I mean his foot and footing get

caught in the grass and don't actually.

286

:

Knock the player.

287

:

However, the free kick was taken

by Arthur Thete and dealt with by

288

:

Martin Vanderbilt, but he carried

it towards Canal, who kicked it

289

:

through the ball and made it two nil.

290

:

Now, how could we have prevented this one?

291

:

Well, not giving a free kick away in

a dangerous area for one and second

292

:

Cosman needs to do better here than

just a half-baked effort and needs

293

:

to get in the way of the shot.

294

:

The third goal of the game came in

the 67th minute, scored by Hugo Ick

295

:

and assisted by Gene Mateo Bayer,

with a cross following a corner.

296

:

Now, how do we prevent

this one from going in?

297

:

I'm going to be blunt about this one.

298

:

Absolute poor defending.

299

:

Vanderbilt shouldn't have

come out to pert away.

300

:

That's if the goal

shouldn't have stood anyway.

301

:

As Ek Dickie puts his hand on the back

of Keytruda and clearly fouls him.

302

:

At this point it was all over, but there

was a final nail in the coffin, so to

303

:

speak, for lack of better terminology

in the 71st minute, as Robin Kosh

304

:

headed the, a very close range shot.

305

:

To the top right corner assisted

by Nathaniel Brown with a

306

:

cross following that corner.

307

:

Now, how can we have prevented that one?

308

:

Well, just like the previous corner, need

to man mark and do better in that regard.

309

:

Along with the keeper shouldn't be

beaten at his near post so easily.

310

:

He needs to be at least

able to attempt to save.

311

:

Now let's hear from some RB personnel as

they spoke to the media after the game.

312

:

Luv, the RB lab interim

coach had this to say.

313

:

Since we've been here, we've been

trying to energize the team, communicate

314

:

positively, and give them self-confidence.

315

:

Nevertheless, it was brought

to the desired stability.

316

:

I can be honest, my first

words to the team weren't.

317

:

If they think that a coaching change alone

will make a difference without individual

318

:

players changing, then they're mistaken.

319

:

Of course, a coaching change can make a

difference, but that also requires the

320

:

team to question why it happened this way.

321

:

We will analyze this very clearly and draw

the necessary conclusions from this game.

322

:

Then by Munich comes, and

then it won't be any easier.

323

:

But I'm the last person to stop

believing in the team and keep working.

324

:

Marcel Shahar, the RB labs

sporting director had this to say.

325

:

Frankfurt showed us what it means to

play forward with determination with a

326

:

few contacts, to use the depth and to

repeatedly create scoring opportunities.

327

:

We've never managed that.

328

:

We may had more possession here and

there, but we just play to the right

329

:

and left and from left to right again.

330

:

Frankfurt played deep, which is

something we're actually good

331

:

at, which is RB loves football.

332

:

Which should really distinguish us.

333

:

We have to be honest with ourselves.

334

:

The defeat was deserved

even by this margin.

335

:

It's a huge disappointment, not

what you need to qualify for.

336

:

The Champions League, Nicholas Sawed had

this to say, and the first half we were

337

:

actually in control of the game, but then

we conceded a counter attack to make it.

338

:

One N, then red card, then it made

it two nil, and then that was good.

339

:

As the game was over, we had periods

of possession, but also unnecessary

340

:

turnovers, misplaced passes, and went on

the ball with the rest of the defense.

341

:

Frankfurt took advantage

of our harmlessness.

342

:

And finally, Lucas Klosterman.

343

:

We didn't deliver what we set out to do.

344

:

We had a few change.

345

:

And finally, Lucas Klosterman.

346

:

We didn't deliver what we set out to do.

347

:

We had too few chances going forward.

348

:

I can't remember any big ones

and we weren't careful at the

349

:

back in the de decisive moments.

350

:

The result hurts enormously.

351

:

There's no point sugarcoating it.

352

:

It simply wasn't enough today,

but I still believe we'll make

353

:

it into the Champions League.

354

:

Best players for unhr, Frankfurt

work, Hugo Ec and Nathaniel Brown.

355

:

N, Damien Collins and tta.

356

:

Best place for RBL Were

Nicholas Ald and Ride Baku.

357

:

Now for a quick suspension

list and injury update.

358

:

Peter Gache is still training

individually after the concussion.

359

:

He suffered following a

collision in the kill game will.

360

:

The Orban was also working on his

own due to ongoing muscular problems

361

:

and Chad Bache Boo will miss the

buying game due to suspension.

362

:

The center back was shown a red card

and the defeat at Frankfurt and was

363

:

subsequently handed a one match ban.

364

:

Antonio Noosa when his return in

Frankfurt after a long-term knee injury.

365

:

He's fit for Saturday's home

game while David Ra and as son

366

:

Drago, along with Kevin Campbell.

367

:

Were back in the squad for Frankfurt

after their respective injuries.

368

:

They're all available to face by-in

Xavier Schlager, who suffered an

369

:

injury to his left thigh while

on intestinal duty with Austria.

370

:

Several months ago, he's making progress,

but still needs time to return to fitness.

371

:

And Benjamin Henriks with his torn

Achilles tendon underwent successful

372

:

surgery many months ago and is

working on his comeback in lo Zg.

373

:

And now to preview the by Munich game.

374

:

The record Meister will be without

top Bunes Liga golf scorer.

375

:

Harry Kane, who is suspended with

question mark around Manuel Noya, who is

376

:

returning from a calf injury by and will

also be without Alfonso Davies de Art.

377

:

Oprah Ano hero.

378

:

Jamal Mu Kim Raphael Guerrero.

379

:

And Tarek Bookman, they only need

to draw to win the championship this

380

:

season, and I fully expect them to

be able to win it in this game with

381

:

two games to spare out of 21 matches.

382

:

Played RBL have only ever

beaten by three times with seven

383

:

draws and 11 wins for Buyin.

384

:

It's no better than the Punes

Liga as we've only won twice,

385

:

drawn six and lost nine times.

386

:

Some quick interesting match

facts leading to this game are.

387

:

RBL have scored eight goals

in their last five matches.

388

:

RBL haven't kept a clean sheet in six

matches by, have scored 12 goals in their

389

:

last five matches by have been awarded

the most penalties this season with 10.

390

:

And now for player watch in this side.

391

:

So in this game it was going to be.

392

:

Several candidates in this one, but

I've picked for RBL Chavy Simmons as

393

:

the jury is still out on Chavy as a

captain, and he didn't really do anything

394

:

out on the pitch for what we could see

when the Eagles had the run over us.

395

:

So it won't be any better against Bain.

396

:

So how is he going to cope this weekend

if he gets given the armband again?

397

:

And for Brian Thomas, Muller?

398

:

Thomas has done everything at

Buyin in his career and with their

399

:

staff forward out and suspended.

400

:

Harry Kane Thomas can pick up where

Kane left off and spearhead the attack.

401

:

For the record champions

402

:

what I'd like to see in

this match with my lineup.

403

:

Show some fight Chavy needs

to do better as a captain and

404

:

step up when we need him to.

405

:

Noosa definitely needs to

star as well as we have.

406

:

We got her to play him.

407

:

There's also no David Ra, and if

Chavy is playing poorly, then we

408

:

need to find other creative avenues.

409

:

This is where Antonio Newso comes in.

410

:

The 4 4 2 formation isn't working

and we should move to a 4, 3 3

411

:

with Chavy and Noosa out wide with

a penda as the sole striker, and

412

:

bring on Sesco as an impact sub with

dangerous through balls and crosses.

413

:

Although we can't really cross

the ball well to save ourselves.

414

:

For me, a lineup is Vander Ton goal.

415

:

With the back four of Leba, der

Klosterman and Baku, if or Ben is fit.

416

:

He plays in place of Klosterman,

midfield, three of Siwa, Eren, and

417

:

Hy with a front three of Chavy, o,

Penda, and Noosa with my midfield.

418

:

Three Hy is your box to box Midfielder

Nicholas Siwa, similar plays on

419

:

the left hand side and Arthur

Vermin a good holding midfielder.

420

:

Just in front of the back four

421

:

now for predictions.

422

:

Unfortunately, another heavy

defeat incoming with another

423

:

four N loss for Diot and Bullen.

424

:

As the record champions are just

way too strong all over the pitch.

425

:

I fully expect them to get the job

done when we welcome them into the

426

:

Red Bull Arena Saturday afternoon.

427

:

I really do hope I'm wrong in this one.

428

:

And now it's time for

the RBL talk segment.

429

:

Remember, you can be a part of the

show too with the RBL talk segment.

430

:

You can even come on the

show as a special guest.

431

:

The way you do this is by interacting

with us on Spotify social media such

432

:

as X, or email in at show@rbltalk.com.

433

:

More information in detail on

how to get involved with the

434

:

show for free in the show notes.

435

:

So the first one here is from Claude J

from the RB fans Discord, and they say,

436

:

Hey Justin, a few days ago you asked

for feedback on the show on X-I-I-R-C.

437

:

So I've put together my

thoughts, what I like.

438

:

I really appreciate how it substantial

and structured the podcast is.

439

:

It's clear a lot of effort goes

into organizing the content.

440

:

The episode length is just right enough to

deep dive without dragging on the match.

441

:

Analysis segments feel

very natural and engaging.

442

:

Some goes for the listener

questions, apologies.

443

:

It's the same goes for listener questions.

444

:

When you give your opinion,

it feels more spontaneous and

445

:

it's a pleasure to listen to.

446

:

What I like less.

447

:

Some parts, mainly the news sections

sometimes sound a bit too scripted,

448

:

almost like reading from a newspaper page.

449

:

I also occasionally notice

odd cuts in sentences.

450

:

It might be the editing software, but

it can make the flow feel a bit robotic.

451

:

At times, it's not a huge issue, but

compared to the more natural match

452

:

analysis and listener questions, it is

noticeable and understanding the context.

453

:

I totally get that you're

managing the podcast.

454

:

On top of a heavy 60 hour work week, often

recording in the middle of the night.

455

:

Respect, it makes perfect sense

that scripting and editing tools are

456

:

needed to keep everything manageable.

457

:

Also fully understanding that having

a regular co-host or live guest would

458

:

be tough under those conditions.

459

:

Small aside though, maybe

beyond the podcast itself.

460

:

Even after almost a month of following, I

still don't feel like I have a full grasp

461

:

of all the content you're putting out.

462

:

So the site, a Substack Patreon

podcast, maybe one day, a very

463

:

simple landing page, could help new

listeners get the full overview easily.

464

:

Club news versus podcast news

versus Patreon, et cetera.

465

:

Totally get it if it's out of

scope, just throwing it out there.

466

:

Thanks again for everything.

467

:

It's super impressive how much you

managed to do despite the crazy schedule.

468

:

Keep it up.

469

:

So let's dissect all of that as it's quite

a big RBL torque segment, sufficient,

470

:

which there is no limit to these.

471

:

Uh, the more detailed,

sometimes the better as well.

472

:

So I'll dissect every single

part from start to finish.

473

:

What I like.

474

:

I said, it's clear a lot of effort

goes into the organizing of the

475

:

content and the episode length

is just right, so thank you.

476

:

Very good for that feedback.

477

:

You also said that the match analysis

segments feel very natural and engaging,

478

:

and same goes for the listener questions,

and when I give my opinion, it feels more

479

:

spontaneous and a pleasure to listen to.

480

:

So I try to do this podcast

pretty much on a whim.

481

:

There's not a whole lot that I read

off a script as when you read off a

482

:

script, sometimes you don't get natural.

483

:

So the only time I read off a script

is normally when I bring in the teams.

484

:

Players that are saying something

during the OR after the game.

485

:

And then the same goes for at

the very end, or sorry, sorry.

486

:

I should say the very start of the podcast

where it is the news segments, as you

487

:

did say, mainly the news sections there

that they sound a bit too scripted.

488

:

Most like reading from a newspaper page.

489

:

That's because that part

there isn't designed to be.

490

:

A part of news.

491

:

So that's what I'm trying to go for there.

492

:

However, I'm also not trying to be

robotic, and as you may know or may

493

:

not have known that there's actually

a couple of mistakes that I've

494

:

done in this episode, and I haven't

actually edited any of that out.

495

:

So I haven't shortened it.

496

:

I haven't removed any extra

double take or anything like that.

497

:

And this episode is by design.

498

:

It's not by laziness

or anything like that.

499

:

I wanted to make sure

that you could understand.

500

:

Where it was, and if that's what you're

hearing is that I, the software that I

501

:

do use, I make the sentences shorter.

502

:

So by that I mean.

503

:

If there is a gap of anything more than

three seconds, I limit it to two seconds.

504

:

And then if there is a retake of

something, I try to take a pause, I

505

:

stop, and then I reread what I just said.

506

:

So maybe I need to try to reread the

whole entire paragraph instead of

507

:

just something else, and maybe do a

full, full retake and then use that.

508

:

However, when you try and do

a retake, it's very hard for

509

:

you to get the exact tone.

510

:

Pitch and also the context

of what you're saying.

511

:

So in that regards, I always

try to do my best take.

512

:

So the more I have to rerecord is

then the more error that you have for

513

:

it, not sounding like it just flows.

514

:

So that's that part there.

515

:

Um, I.

516

:

Thank you for understanding that.

517

:

I do do work a 68 hour plus work

week, normally four on two off,

518

:

four on two off, sometimes hectic.

519

:

And normally I do my recordings quite

early and this one is no different.

520

:

This is at 1:44 AM currently my time.

521

:

Doing this recording.

522

:

So yeah, getting a co-host and live

guests are a little bit tough, but I

523

:

don't mind doing it at the early hours

for me and overseas over in Germany, local

524

:

time, it's about seven and a half hours.

525

:

It's really doesn't bother me.

526

:

So that's why when I do my live streams,

I try to get everyone to jump in.

527

:

It's during a live game, you know, I'm

always happy to have a special guest

528

:

co-host, whether that's yourself or anyone

else listening to this, by all means.

529

:

Reach out.

530

:

I'm happy to have you on the show

as a special guest or, you know, get

531

:

your expert opinions on certain things

whenever you are free and able to do so.

532

:

Unfortunately, that's a little bit of

a drawback of being an international

533

:

fan, is that to get all these podcast

episodes out at a reasonable time and

534

:

having guests on the show, when I'm able

to get them on the show, it's always

535

:

going to be at a silly clock hour for

me to try to make it respectful for the

536

:

guest because when you do bring those

people onto the show, you wanna make sure

537

:

that it's the best and most easiest way

for them to be on coming onto the show.

538

:

As you said about the.

539

:

Full grasp of the content.

540

:

Uh, I'm sorry, it's a little

confusing, but there is a, a

541

:

landing page, uh, as you put it.

542

:

Uh, you go to the substack and there's

a, a link tree link that's also in

543

:

the show notes, has all the social

media icons, and then there's buttons

544

:

down below that says, click here to

go to this, click here to go to this.

545

:

Uh, so to put it as simple as possible.

546

:

The Substack is for all podcast related

news, so just the podcast itself.

547

:

So if I have an update to give

to you, everyone that listens to

548

:

this, it goes on the substack.

549

:

However, if you've signed up to the

Patreon, because you get your podcast

550

:

episodes through Spotify, if you're

an RBL Talk member Member, then you

551

:

can sign up to the Patreon to get

this exact same thing as the substack.

552

:

The Substack is just

there for podcast updates.

553

:

Now the.

554

:

Rbl talk.com

555

:

website is only for club news.

556

:

So you go to there.

557

:

It's a destination hub for everything.

558

:

R Blab Zg.

559

:

So if you wanna find out the latest

club news, you go to the rbl talk.com

560

:

website.

561

:

If you wanna find the podcast as

well on all your podcast platforms,

562

:

you can go to that homepage as well.

563

:

There's.

564

:

Basically a hub of all the information

on the club, and that's what I made the

565

:

homepage originally with Podcast News.

566

:

But I had a lot of feedback of people

not wanting to have admin stuff of the

567

:

podcast news when they're just trying

to get their RB Zi Club news and be able

568

:

to read articles and find the articles

for the episodes and things like that.

569

:

So, uh, hopefully that's

explained a little bit better.

570

:

If it isn't, please let me know and I'm

happy to try to dissect that as well.

571

:

Uh, a little bit better.

572

:

But, uh, thank you for your

voter of confidence there.

573

:

The next submission is

from Baum over on X.

574

:

Well, not much to say they need Fryberg

dormant and by to win versus British and

575

:

glad back for their top four chances.

576

:

To me, top three look to be gone.

577

:

Frankfurt should be third.

578

:

Thank you te Ke for home win to Baria

Mush and glad back f Fryberg after

579

:

their last manager for 20 years.

580

:

Also, Lee could get UCL

episode 16 nine of RBL talk.

581

:

Nice.

582

:

Do you like Kosh?

583

:

Do you.

584

:

Are you a big of Kosh?

585

:

Kosh did score today.

586

:

Joke aside, they should win.

587

:

V stood Gut home and before

this Bremen Away stood.

588

:

Gut players might have

a cup final in mind.

589

:

More hopeful than anything.

590

:

Bremen are very inconsistent recently.

591

:

Would you take Ralph

House Kto for one season?

592

:

I know Ion Re was linked this week.

593

:

Eden Te, Steven Gerard, Ruben, Almar,

and Klo were all names mentioned

594

:

by RBO Talk listeners as manager.

595

:

Kwo could return to the club

management in summer:

596

:

Some say.

597

:

Does he have a clause in the RBL talk

contract, which allows him to leave live?

598

:

Zg didn't help themselves by

getting a player sent off.

599

:

Do you think other live Zg team

will go up to three leaguer

600

:

or you couldn't care less?

601

:

I don't see K leaving.

602

:

His role in Red Bull,

this would be impossible.

603

:

After four months in role, he has

a bigger role than Ralph Renick

604

:

because more football projects.

605

:

This time in Red Bull,

606

:

the drunken ground Hopper on YouTube,

someone from UK went to a live Zig

607

:

match in a match vlog for Home Match

to Hoffenheim earlier this month.

608

:

For those interested in seeing Loeb,

Zig Stadium and their ultras, Loeb Zig.

609

:

Would you jump up and down

with those sat next to the lab?

610

:

Zig German fans in their

seats, as they do in European

611

:

stadiums, do I like Greek yogurt.

612

:

We have.

613

:

To talk about your mate, Angelo Cockles.

614

:

Do you think Ang Post

Colu will leave Tottenham?

615

:

He's an Aussie and you took your

suggestion of signing Teammate Warner.

616

:

Do you think Ang can reach a

Rupa League final and perhaps win

617

:

this while finishing 16th place?

618

:

I expect him to leave

even if he wins the cup.

619

:

Tottenham don't necessarily

win trophies much.

620

:

It's important Sig don't play

for a point, which by need.

621

:

They need three points in this

and nine points for top four.

622

:

Bayer with Zay Alonzo having

BVB and Fryberg Lo Zg needed

623

:

Chavy to do them a favor.

624

:

Do you have any plans for month of May?

625

:

Any watch alongs planned or not yet?

626

:

No.

627

:

Harry Cain for buying.

628

:

So one less problem for lo

Zg defenders to worry about.

629

:

He's suspended.

630

:

I'm going with a two one only.

631

:

Just lab zg have been poor.

632

:

Their caretaker trainer, head

coach won't get a job full time.

633

:

He isn't ready for a top team in

what lab want to be and aspire to be.

634

:

So again, just like the previous

one, a lot there to dissect.

635

:

So we're going to go through

this in parts and I'll try to

636

:

get to everything of it here.

637

:

Do I have any plans for the month of May?

638

:

Any watch alongs planned or not yet?

639

:

Watch along this Saturday.

640

:

So.

641

:

If you would like to join

in Baum, please do so.

642

:

I'd love to have you and any

other listeners on this podcast

643

:

join in in the live stream.

644

:

When it comes to an post colu so big Ang,

I wouldn't mind seeing him at RB Leipzig.

645

:

I just don't see us being able to get an

outsider coach from the Red Bull system.

646

:

I think that the Red Bull system

is designed and suited only for

647

:

Red Bull managers, and that can't

always be a bad thing, but it's

648

:

also not always a good thing.

649

:

So with that, I mean that we're probably

going to be getting someone that is.

650

:

Has the same philosophy or is going

to be very well diverse in the Red

651

:

Bull structure, whether that's just

RB Leipzig or the whole Football

652

:

Red Bull project as a whole.

653

:

However, I actually think we will benefit

from having another manager having

654

:

from the outside looking in who is

also happy to play attacking football.

655

:

I don't think that's Ange post colu,

but I also would wouldn't say no.

656

:

Uh, obviously being a fellow Australian,

uh, myself being born here in Australia.

657

:

I don't really like Greek yogurt.

658

:

Um, funny.

659

:

It's a, it's a funny question

to ask, to be honest.

660

:

Uh, I don't mind garlic sauce.

661

:

Don't like Greek yogurt, but, um,

with my diet, I don't eat a lot

662

:

of meat, so, uh, the only meat

that I mainly eat is seafood.

663

:

I, I don't eat anything else, but

that's a little fun fact there.

664

:

Uh, if people wanted to know, but I would.

665

:

If I was going to a RB Live Z game

in the stadium, I'd certainly be

666

:

around, especially the Ultras or

even in, in the sector blocks.

667

:

I'm quite happy to do that.

668

:

Uh, me being an international fan,

I don't get to, unfortunately,

669

:

unfortunately, I don't get to go

to the games on a weekly basis.

670

:

Uh, but the, the one video that

I show is the, the over the bar

671

:

video, um, from the lads over there.

672

:

When they went to the stadium, they

did a vlog and they even said it was

673

:

a little bit catered to me as well.

674

:

So I felt a little bit special, um, that

they did that for me, although I treat

675

:

it as that they did it for the global

stage of, of Red Bull and RB live zigs.

676

:

If you are not from Germany, a lot of

people just give a bit of flack to, uh,

677

:

red Bull and RB Leipzig as a whole, as the

most hated club in Germany, which we all

678

:

understand why, but it's not warranted.

679

:

A lot of it's just blown up to

be more than what it really is.

680

:

If you watch the guest video, I mean,

you've probably seen it Baum, but for

681

:

those that don't know, if you haven't

seen the guest video that I did.

682

:

With a RB lab, ZG local fan

that goes to the games as well.

683

:

Uh, please make sure to check that out.

684

:

That was a very good insight and in

depth video of what they perceive it as

685

:

living in Germany and going to the games.

686

:

Klo is not going to be

on the, uh, podcast.

687

:

The contract there doesn't exist.

688

:

I know you're joking Baum, but, uh,

you know, I, there's no, no connection

689

:

to Red Bull with myself with this.

690

:

I wouldn't mind having connections

one day to the club to be able to

691

:

get the perks and things like that.

692

:

As long as I can always say that,

speak my mind of what the podcast

693

:

is about, and giving the listeners

their voice and being able to almost

694

:

do whatever I want, so to speak.

695

:

Um, but you know, being, having that

privilege privilege as well, it doesn't

696

:

always, you can't always get both.

697

:

So, you know, we'll just

see how the podcast goes.

698

:

'cause I'm not stopping this anytime soon.

699

:

You mentioned many managers

there, but I, I do think that.

700

:

A season with Ralph Hussle wouldn't be

a bad thing, but only as a last option.

701

:

So instead of going and scrambling for

another manager, we have to have someone

702

:

at least at the helm for a full season.

703

:

And Ralph, you can do so many

worse options than Ralph.

704

:

So I would definitely be putting him.

705

:

There instead if we

can't find the new one.

706

:

But yes, uh, it's

cynically, not episode 69.

707

:

And I did understand and see where

you're coming from with the joke there.

708

:

I was just trying not to, because

this episode is going to be largely

709

:

unedited, uh, due to recent comments.

710

:

And just so they have a grasp on what

happens when the editing process happens

711

:

and how it ends up sounding then.

712

:

Yeah, I couldn't really put in

some beeps or anything like that.

713

:

So for those that got the

joke, you got the joke.

714

:

For those that don't understand the

joke, think of the num, the name co

715

:

and episode number of what it was.

716

:

So if you can correlate the two, you

might see where that's coming from.

717

:

Um, if you are a little bit young

and you don't understand, then you

718

:

probably don't need to understand.

719

:

It is probably something that you

should ask your parents about.

720

:

The next one is from RL nine Louis fan

over on Instagram, and they said, I.

721

:

Not much to say.

722

:

Everything is clear.

723

:

We couldn't play football in the first

half, however, in the second half we were

724

:

a little bit better, but still not enough.

725

:

And the red card made it worse.

726

:

I personally think that it had

not been for that red card.

727

:

We would've gotten a point outta this.

728

:

No.

729

:

Has comeback was the best

thing about this match.

730

:

Do you think we can win against buy-in?

731

:

Personally, don't think so.

732

:

Yeah, I don't think we are going

to be beating buy-in as much

733

:

as I want to be an optimist.

734

:

Like Baum said earlier, a two one win

for RP Leib Zg with the recent results

735

:

have been the new manager effect has

worn off and I can't see us actually

736

:

being able to have the quality to beat

the best team this season in the Buns

737

:

League are arguably, I still think.

738

:

Bay Levy Cuson are pretty

much on par with Bio Munich.

739

:

They've just haven't gotten the

same standards as this season

740

:

as they did last season, and the

same results for that matter.

741

:

But there's those two and then there's

everyone else, and we're not even

742

:

in that with everyone else part.

743

:

You've got Bayer, you've got buy-in.

744

:

And then you've got teams like F

Fryberg and Frankfurt and you know

745

:

your other top maybe four teams there.

746

:

And then you've got just

about everyone else.

747

:

And we've dropped into that just about

everyone else category, which sadly

748

:

at the start of the season and even

partway through, say up until October,

749

:

we were still in that, you know, top four

other teams besides buyer and buy-in.

750

:

So.

751

:

Yeah, unfortunately, can't see us winning

that one, and I really do hope I am wrong.

752

:

But I can't see us unless we go up in

Red Bull fashion and end up managing

753

:

somehow to come up with a win.

754

:

Uh, considering we've been all

over the place at the moment.

755

:

I mean, that sort of wouldn't surprise

me, but the win would have to be like

756

:

a three, two or something like that.

757

:

Otherwise, I think it's just

gonna be another hammering.

758

:

It's unfortunate, but this

team is very, very worse off.

759

:

I've said it months before that.

760

:

This team is a false projection.

761

:

Where we are currently sitting

in the table is a false

762

:

overlook of how the team is.

763

:

We are actually a mid table site,

especially if you take out the, some

764

:

of the top players like Noosa or Ben

Chavy Simmons, David Ram, Peter, gci.

765

:

After that, even if you just

takes three of those players away,

766

:

you are really struggling to.

767

:

Be on the top end of the Bundesliga table.

768

:

As always, I'd like to thank the

contributors for their contributions
