Episode 70 - saved by Mr Leipzig himself

In this episode there is a lot to digest. We find out Amadou Haidara has recently suffered a knee injury and will not be available for the remainder of the season, Justin breaks down every single goal against Bayern Munich including the goal by Yussuf Poulsen(Mr. Leipzig) who spoilt the party for Bayern fans who let off fireworks early before the end of the whistle so there was no trophy celebrations in the Red Bull Arena. We have a look at match-day 33 against SV Werder Bremen along with player watch, predictions, the RBL talk segment with your listener input on the show plus more in this episode.

In this episode we have listener questions from rl9lewyfan from Instagram.

8

:

Starting with the club news and RB Leig

could find it difficult to keep hold of

9

:

Slovenia and Marksman Sesco in the summer.

10

:

The release clause for Benjamin

Sesco now stands at over 80 million

11

:

Euro for the Summer Sky Reports.

12

:

It was mentioned in March that

performances and flexibility within

13

:

the contract could increase the price.

14

:

A recent run of an inspired form

with three goals coming in his

15

:

last five games has helped drive

the buyout of valuation up.

16

:

However, a transfer is also possible

without triggering the clause.

17

:

Sesco will be allowed to leave RB Lo.

18

:

If a suitable offer comes in.

19

:

An abundance of Premier League clubs

are supposedly CL keen to acquire

20

:

the big striker with Arsenal,

Chelsea, Manchester United, and now

21

:

Newcastle United, also in the hunt.

22

:

Room for improvement could entice

FGA to snub lein for lab Zg.

23

:

RB lab Zg have vital chances

to sign sask FGA this summer.

Local Saxony News Source,

LVZ Sport Reports.

25

:

The 38-year-old coach is ambitious,

but also a man who focuses on

26

:

organic growth in his career.

27

:

Should he join Levien?

28

:

He would have to face extraordinary,

increased expectations as

29

:

he'd be replacing Zai Alonzo.

30

:

A move to Ziga, however offers plenty

of room for improvement and room

31

:

to shape the future at the Club.

32

:

That factor could come as a

considerable advantage for Di Rotten

33

:

Bullen in the race for the Spaniard.

34

:

BU Earns Best Defender Award.

35

:

Salzburg topped the team standings

in the first edition of RB lab.

36

:

Zgs Wing Cup, which came into a close on

Thursday afternoon was a great success.

37

:

We take a look back on exciting guest

appearances from Jurg and Club and the

38

:

European Club Association ECA, as well as

the outstanding young footballers on show.

39

:

Including those from the six

participating clubs who picked up

40

:

awards across various categories.

41

:

Wings Cup 20, 25, day one, eight

matches, eight minutes, four versus four

42

:

young stars from all around the globe.

43

:

Took to the pitch in Zi on Tuesday as

plays from the academies of rb, Salzberg,

44

:

rb, brag, Andino, New York, red Bulls

and RB Leipzig took part along with

45

:

those of PSV, een, Hoven and Southampton.

46

:

High octane battles with just short

breaks and no substitutions meant the

47

:

players were tested to their limits.

48

:

Furthermore, with those on the pitch,

playing together for the first time,

49

:

tactics had to be formed at some speed.

50

:

However, language barriers

never poised an issue.

51

:

The aim of the Wings Cup was to clearly

see since players had to adapt quickly.

52

:

The settling in period did not

last long across six pitches, an

53

:

impressive deal of communication,

teamwork, technical dribbling, and

54

:

passing sequences were soon on show.

55

:

The players then got the chance to share

expectations and get to know new faces

56

:

better following the first run outs.

57

:

It is a lot of fun.

58

:

The football is of high quality

and communication between

59

:

players is only improving.

60

:

It wasn't easy to begin with

having to constantly adapt.

61

:

However, it's gotten smoother

as things have progressed.

62

:

The Brazilians have impressed me

with their technique, but the PV

63

:

lads possessed a great combination

on of abilities explained.

64

:

RBL under 19 Player Tony Lang Steiner.

65

:

My legs tell the story.

66

:

I covered the most ground of anyone

today, and my legs tell the story of that.

67

:

Now.

68

:

I also grabbed a goal or two, so I'm

happy with my showing out there today.

Reported at Lang Steiner

Wings Cup:

70

:

After the intensity of Tuesday's

football, the players were

71

:

able to rest on Wednesday.

72

:

They use this time for regeneration

in our academy at Cowe, as well as

73

:

for a game or two of football tennis.

74

:

Meanwhile, the European Club Association

ECA held their knowledge exchange

75

:

in the Red Bull Arena where experts

in youth football from around the

76

:

world discussed themes such as the

development of young players and making

77

:

these step up to the professional game

from group work to presentations from

78

:

representatives of numerous nations.

79

:

The agenda was varied.

80

:

The day concluded with questions

posed to a panel of well-known faces.

81

:

Jolo, Marcel Shafer, Yusef Parson,

and former Premier League head

82

:

coach, David Wagner, joined

forces to share their experience.

83

:

One topic in the limelight was the

requirements of a ary footballer.

84

:

In order to make it on the professional

stage, every player has to learn how

85

:

to defend unless the player gives it.

86

:

They're all to defend their own goal.

87

:

They won't be able to make the

step up into the professional game.

88

:

Revealed a clock providing

a solitary exception.

89

:

The only player who doesn't

have to do this is Lionel Mess.

90

:

You'll see Parson is already into his

12th year with RB Le Zig, and delivered

91

:

his key piece of advice to those present.

92

:

You need to be ready in terms of

mentality for all of the challenges, which

93

:

football is likely to throw you away.

94

:

That has always served me well.

95

:

And Wings Cup 2025.

96

:

Day three, the players returned to the

pitch for the third and final day of

97

:

this year's youth tournament in Le Zg.

98

:

All six teams were set to face

each other in round Robin.

99

:

Format matches consisted of four

versus four battles on small

100

:

pitches with a fix offside lines.

101

:

The final day of the wins cup

provided much to catch the eye from

102

:

impressive dribbling ability to full

throttle tackles two memorable goals.

103

:

The Academy of FC Red Bull Salzberg

ultimately emerged as deserved victors

104

:

from the team stage of the competition.

122

:

And now to recap the last game

against buying a Munich with

123

:

the good, the bad, and the ugly.

124

:

Starting with the good, what we did right.

125

:

We had the same amount of

big chances, four as buyin.

126

:

However, out of uh, eight shots 50%

of the time, it was a big chance Buyin

127

:

had to take 20 to get the same output.

128

:

We challenged, well made 18 tackles

at a 72% success rate, 75% of shots on

129

:

target, which were six out of eight.

130

:

Only one shot off target.

131

:

The other was blocked.

132

:

Even in the dues 50 50, winning 13

of 26, we recovered the ball well

133

:

as we made 43 recoveries cleared our

lines well as we made 27 clearances,

134

:

and we forced by and do the same.

135

:

What we did wrong, the bad.

136

:

We gave away nine free kicks.

137

:

We had three bookings, all yellow

cards to Camp Round and Vermeer.

138

:

Only 14 touches in the penalty area.

139

:

Buy-in had 36.

140

:

Two offsides, only 6%.

141

:

60% of passes successful.

142

:

In the final third, completing

55 of 92 passes, zero crosses

143

:

accurate out of seven.

144

:

Lost the total amount of duels,

45% to 55%, winning 41 out of 91.

145

:

Only 24% passed on.

146

:

The final third most was in the middle

45, which was 45%, and defense was 31%.

147

:

We lost the possession count 62 to 38%.

148

:

You wanna keep at Buyin and not let

Buyin dictate you as you wanna take

149

:

it up to them, but we failed to do so.

150

:

We were quite happy to sit off them

and what we did really wrong, the ugly.

151

:

Two errors that led to a shot,

one error that led to a goal.

152

:

And the Vermeer yellow card, you

don't want to sub on a player.

153

:

Then they get booked.

154

:

Yes, it was only 30 minutes after

he got subbed on and the card

155

:

was given in the 89th minute.

156

:

But you don't want to put on a player

and have them tread on eggshells

157

:

for the rest of the game, otherwise

you waste a sub taking them off.

158

:

Three things we learned V by Munich.

159

:

Number one with passion.

160

:

Our game looks completely different.

161

:

I dunno why this team is so jagged and

one day they show up the next, they're

162

:

like zombies running around in a stadium.

163

:

But when we come to play and show

the passion, we are what we've

164

:

come to expect from this RBL team.

165

:

Number two, RBL don't wanna

take the game to buy in anymore.

166

:

We just wanna sit back and

hope for a counter attack.

167

:

Although that can work.

168

:

You don't wanna let them dictate play

'cause they will destroy you on the

169

:

pitch if you let them own the ball.

170

:

That's exactly what happened.

171

:

Number three, this team needs

a rebuild and a restructure

172

:

in club values and morals.

173

:

We can't be just showing up to the

top teams domestically and holding

174

:

our own and then being humiliated

by a European Champions League

175

:

domestic rival several weeks before.

176

:

Inconsistency always kills us,

and I'm sick to death of it.

177

:

We need a culture change and need

an overhaul within this club.

178

:

Otherwise, a new manager next season

isn't going to do squat, and we will

179

:

forever just be a European team, place

filler domestically and in wider Europe.

180

:

We need to aim to be a top club

domestically and start winning them.

181

:

Title mediocrity should not be

the standard as it is currently.

182

:

Whatever it is is just not good enough.

183

:

At the moment, it's just as long

as it's acceptable and that's it.

184

:

It shouldn't be.

185

:

We should just be building

and aiming for hire.

186

:

Yes, this takes time, but it

starts with club standards.

187

:

and now from the detailed

summary and recap.

188

:

First we'll have a look at the

Player Watch plays for this game,

189

:

and they were Chavy Simmons for RBL

and Thomas Muller for by Munich.

190

:

We'll have a look at Chubby

Simmons first as Chubby.

191

:

Played the full 90 minutes,

had 53 touches making 24 of 29

192

:

passes with an accuracy of 83%.

193

:

Got two assists, which were

created by his two big chances.

194

:

Had one shot, which was on

target, had six DR attempts, but

195

:

only one successful at 16.67%.

196

:

One four of 10 ground doors.

197

:

Won one of three aerial dues,

lost possession 14 times.

198

:

Was fouled three times, made one

deception, blocked a shot and

199

:

had one error that led to a shot.

200

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 9.0,

201

:

but because of his error that led

to a shot at goal, which was a goal.

202

:

I'm giving him a rating of 8.5

203

:

and Thomas Muer for by Munich.

204

:

Thomas played the 61 minutes before

being subbed off for Kingsley Coleman.

205

:

In those 61 minutes, he had 29

touches made 13 of 21 passes,

206

:

which was an accuracy of 62%.

207

:

One of those was a key pass.

208

:

Made two shots.

209

:

One was off target.

210

:

The other blocked one.

211

:

All two of his ground duels and

three of his five aerial duels.

212

:

He was fouled twice

and made one clearance.

213

:

According to the one football

app, he had a match rating of 4.6.

214

:

I think that's harsh and would give

him at least a match rating of 6.6

215

:

Even without the suspended h Kane by

would've been confident of lifting the

216

:

Meister Shall Saturday, following a rare

year off, but the host penned them in

217

:

and had the better of the early chances.

218

:

Janus made a brilliant reflex save to

keep out Amadou Hydra from close range

219

:

before Benjamin Sesco scooped over.

220

:

After being played through by Chavy

Simmons, dinged Bull, by then began

221

:

to control possession, but that

proved to be their downfall against

222

:

a devastating RBL counter attack.

223

:

Inside 11 minutes, Chavy,

dispossessed Michael Elise and

224

:

Inve in, let's say that again.

225

:

It invented.

226

:

Lee used the outside of his boot to

play in Sesco and catch Urbi well

227

:

out of his goal not to be outdone.

228

:

The Sian also struck a Tia shot

to elude this stranded goalkeeper

229

:

and find the net from distance.

230

:

The rest of the half played out

similarly with binds dominance

231

:

of the bull yielding few chances

and RBL going on to make it too.

232

:

David Round bent in a free kick delivery

from Deep, and Lucas Klosterman lost

233

:

his marker to get his head, or more

specifically his ear on the ball

234

:

sending it nestling into the corner.

235

:

The visitors took a while to get

going into the second half, but

236

:

they suddenly exploded into action.

237

:

Just after the hour and pulled back on

level terms, Eric Dyer leapt to meet

238

:

Elisa's Corner and thumped inside the near

post before the Frenchman handed himself.

239

:

Just 40 seconds later, RBL gave the

ball away almost directly from kickoff

240

:

following surg and bury to nudge in Elisa.

241

:

Who fired in on the volley

with parody restored.

242

:

There were chances at both ends, but Byron

looked to have last laugh when Joshua

243

:

Kim flicked it on fully Ani, who took a

touch and killed it in the far corner.

244

:

But there was one crawl twist

in the final seconds when Chavy

245

:

shuffled through to Yusef Parson.

246

:

Who chipped over ING to prevent Buyin

from winning the title on the day.

247

:

While Kane has to wait a little longer

for that elusive first major career trophy

248

:

to be confirmed, buy's advantage, it

means that they got their 12th title in

249

:

the last 13 seasons as it was a draw for

Levion on Sunday, which sealed the deal.

250

:

This does mean SC Fryberg are our main

rivals for the UFA Champions League

251

:

qualification, and the draw helps us.

252

:

As we are now two points off fourth.

253

:

However, I would've loved to see

Bayer go back to back after the match.

254

:

Several RBL personnel spoke to the media.

255

:

This is what they had to say.

256

:

Standing Captain Kevin Campbell.

257

:

The best thing for me personally was

seeing a team on the pitch that left

258

:

their heart on the pitch, fought hard,

played a strong first half, and even

259

:

going down three, two, they still pulled

themselves together and equalized.

260

:

That was a very clear

reaction today, Yusef Parson.

261

:

I had hoped we'd take home three points.

262

:

I thought we played a great

game in the first 45 minutes.

263

:

That's why there's a little bit

of disappointment, but in the

264

:

end, we have to be satisfied.

265

:

We are going to Bremen next week to win.

266

:

I don't really care

what they hope or want.

267

:

We want to achieve our goal.

268

:

And Luv, we played a very, very

good game in the first half.

269

:

I'm really proud of the boys.

270

:

They gave it their all.

271

:

We weren't paying attention

twice in the second half.

272

:

That can happen against a team like FC

Buyin, but it was a brilliant reaction

273

:

that the boys believed in until the end.

274

:

Uc is a living legend and

can still help us a lot.

275

:

We brought him on when Sesco

complained of muscular problems.

276

:

David Round was only supposed to

play 60 minutes, but he was always

277

:

signaled that he wanted to continue.

278

:

He always wants to.

279

:

Now let's dissect those goals.

280

:

There were six in total.

281

:

We'll go in chronological order.

282

:

The first goal came in the 11th minute,

the first of three for RBL scored by

283

:

Benjamin Sesco, assisted by Chavy Simmons.

284

:

Following a fast break build up play,

started from an interception from Chavy

285

:

Simmons as Marco Elisa made a heavy

touchdown on the edge of the box in the

286

:

by attacking third on the right hand side.

287

:

Chavy dribbled out of the attacking

third and lobbed A through ball with

288

:

the outside of the his right boot into

space As the bind, defense pressed high

289

:

up the pitch only leaving two defenders

back with acres of space behind them.

290

:

Benjamin Sesco ran onto the ball.

291

:

With by and keeper Jonas.

292

:

IC caught in two minds as he

attempted to rush out of his

293

:

defensive third to intercept the ball.

294

:

So in realizing he won't get

there, Jonas ran back towards goal.

295

:

By this time, SESCO got onto the ball

and struck sweetly with an outside of

296

:

the foot shot, curling the ball into the

back of the net from around 35 yards out.

297

:

The second goal of the game and second

for RBL came in the 39th minute scored

298

:

by Lucas Klosterman and assisted by David

Round following a set peace situation.

299

:

The free kick was earned by Benjamin

Sesco, who was fouled by Sergio Aery

300

:

for just a late challenge on this leve.

301

:

Both Charlie Simmons and David Round

stood over the dead ball with the

302

:

ladder taking the strike, curling the

ball across his body to the wall of RBL

303

:

White shirts as the buying defenders

scrambled to mark their opposite number.

304

:

The ball from round was weighted perfectly

behind the defensive line and in front of

305

:

the goal, Lucas Klosterman running flat

chat, met the ball and headed it past

306

:

the bind keeper with a looping header.

307

:

There was a lengthy var check due to

Benjamin Sesco Way offside, but as he

308

:

doesn't impede any bind defenders and get

involved in the play, the goal stood di

309

:

rotten Bullen lead to Neil at the break.

310

:

We had to wait 17 minutes for the

third goal of the game, and this

311

:

started the comeback from the

record champions as by scored their

312

:

first of three goals in this game.

313

:

The goal was scored in the 62nd minute,

scored by Eric Dyer, assisted by Michael

314

:

Elise, with a cross following a corner.

315

:

The corner was earned by Lisa who had.

316

:

Shot the ball into a wall of RBL

defenders with a deflection towards

317

:

the right side of goal by plays.

318

:

Almost stood still in the box as

only two plays Moved one of those

319

:

Eric Dyer as he ran towards the near

post and headed the ball in between

320

:

two RBL Defenders, Nicholas ald and

David Ramm to score ahead of goal.

321

:

Past keeper Martine Vanderbilt with ease.

322

:

Now, how can we have prevented this one?

323

:

It's hard to stop such a

great delivery in the box.

324

:

However, players need to mark better.

325

:

Eric Dyer was able to get away

from his man as he ran from just in

326

:

front of the back post past Lucas

Klosterman, who doesn't follow him.

327

:

David Round and Nicholas Sied then need to

pick him up, preferably round as Cy leaves

328

:

the near post, which leaves Vander Vort

to defend it, and the last minute it could

329

:

have been dealt with by Cy comfortably.

330

:

As Ram had the area covered, then as

everything was in motion, van Devo

331

:

shouldn't be beaten at his near post.

332

:

To his credit, he reacts well and quickly.

333

:

Once side walled does leave the post.

334

:

The second goal from buying came

in the 63rd minute less than

335

:

10 seconds after the restart.

336

:

From what I saw during the live

stream scored by Marco Elise, assisted

337

:

by Sge bury with a headed pass.

338

:

I've always said, you are most

vulnerable when you've just scored.

339

:

And this was, in fact, the case.

340

:

RBL as a team did not switch on here.

341

:

The buildup play started as

RBL restarted play passing

342

:

behind to get the ball rolling.

343

:

See what I did there?

344

:

As they passed around from the back by

and were pressing hard, and once David

345

:

Ram got the ball, he panicked and lobbed

the ball away high to nobody, which

346

:

was intercepted by Alexander Pavlovich

beating Nicola sidewall in the aerial

347

:

dual and he is headed clearance to search.

348

:

Bury flicked the ball forward with they

headed past to Michael Elise, who got

349

:

himself in a pocket of space between RBL

defenders and buried the ball hard and low

350

:

with a left footed shot from the outside

of the box to the bottom right corner.

351

:

Now how can we have prevented this one?

352

:

This is a simple one, too cute defending.

353

:

Round just needs to belt the ball forwards

towards goal, give it back to their keeper

354

:

as the buy and press is too advanced

and this gives possession away, but time

355

:

for us to reset and gain our shape as

we had already managed to lose our shape

356

:

from the restart as that didn't happen.

357

:

The next thing Cyboard needs

to do is better in the dual.

358

:

He got beaten comprehensively here.

359

:

Next, the whole back four

needs to keep this shape.

360

:

So forget David.

361

:

Round out on the left.

362

:

Why is there only one RBL

player behind the ball?

363

:

Literally as a last man from a

restart and play Ca Leba is all by

364

:

himself, his center back partner,

Lucas Klosterman gets suckered

365

:

into the play and loses to s bury.

366

:

As he didn't even put pressure on him.

367

:

Then he's out of position and

down the right hand side, and

368

:

Kovich is in no man's land.

369

:

It ends up having to run back to

put pressure on the eventual goal

370

:

scorer, and by then it's too late.

371

:

This is why we need with the All Bend

back, as he organizes that back four, not

372

:

by just his leadership and being vocal out

on the pitch, but also his positioning.

373

:

The third goal and final goal for

Buyin came in the 83rd minute,

374

:

and they looked home and hosed.

375

:

At this point, the goal was

scored by Leroy Sarne and

376

:

assisted by Joshua Kimmage.

377

:

The buildup play started as buyin went

deep into attack, and they had plenty of

378

:

the ball pressuring the RBO defense, and

it finally cracked once again, search

379

:

can Avery ran at the RBO Defenders.

380

:

Couldn't complete his dribble as he

missed his mark to pass the ball.

381

:

It spilled away from him from a deflection

off Arthur Vermin into the path of Joshua

382

:

Kimmi, who flicked the ball across himself

with the outside of the his right boot.

383

:

Almost just helping

the deflection onwards.

384

:

His pass fell for Leroy Sarne, who

controlled the ball with his first

385

:

touch and looked up and buried the

ball into the back of the net with

386

:

left footed shot from the right side

of the box to the bottom left corner.

387

:

Now, how can we have prevented this one?

388

:

Some simple things here.

389

:

Why was SRG Giri able to run

at the defense with nobody

390

:

putting in a challenge on him?

391

:

He literally ran into an RBL defender.

392

:

Secondly, why was nobody

marking or protecting the

393

:

outside position on the right?

394

:

Leroy Sarne was all by himself here.

395

:

And thirdly, Martin Vander

didn't even attempt to save.

396

:

This was probably the most

poorly defensive we've been and

397

:

I've seen for some time now.

398

:

Thankfully, Mr.

399

:

Loebig himself, Yusef Palon, saved the day

and made sure there would be no party for

400

:

the record Meister in the Red Bull Arena.

401

:

Even if the fans let a fireworks and

went the early crow, gee, ain't Karma.

402

:

Great.

403

:

The third goal for RBL and the

final goal of the game sixth.

404

:

Goal total came in the dying

embers of the 94th minute mark

405

:

Yusef Parson scored assisted by

Chubby Simmons with a through ball.

406

:

The build out place started as we

managed to get the ball forward.

407

:

We pressed hard and Leon Reka was

under so much pressure, he didn't even

408

:

clear his lines and it would've been

party time, however he failed to do so.

409

:

Slipped over after a heavy touch and

Chavy Simmons, the Dutch magician

410

:

pounced played a lovely through ball

towards the right side of the goal.

411

:

Yusef Parson saw the opportunity,

made the run into space and had

412

:

ice in his veins as he chipped.

413

:

The keeper at the near post

scores ended three three and RBL

414

:

squandered a lead to salvage a point.

415

:

The best place for RBL were.

416

:

Amadou.

417

:

Hi, Kevin Campbell, Benjamin Sesco,

David Ra Cha Simmons and Yusef Parson.

418

:

Best players for Brian, were Serge

Bury Louis Roy Ani, Joshua Kimmage,

419

:

Eric Dyer, and Michael Lisa.

420

:

And now it's time for a

suspension and injury list update.

421

:

Suspended players, David Ram, and

Kevin Camp will be missing due to

422

:

racking up too many yellow cards.

423

:

Question marks around will they, Alland

and Benjamin Sesco will be tested

424

:

midweek for their availability as

Sesco picked up a knock against Byron

425

:

and Orban is working well towards

his return from his recent injury.

426

:

Xavier Schlager and Benjamin Henricks

are also making their way back from

427

:

injury where Schlager is suffering

an injury to his left thigh while

428

:

on international duty with Austria.

429

:

We are not expected to see them

for the remainder of the season.

430

:

However, Schlager will compete.

431

:

Parts of team training.

432

:

This week, Peter Gache is in full

team training after his head injury.

433

:

An Amadou Hi has had a medial

ligament injury to his knee

434

:

during training on Tuesday.

435

:

This was confirmed by an

MRI scan on Tuesday evening.

436

:

So therefore, the midfield will miss the

final two games of the season against

437

:

Worder, Breman and VFB Stuttgart.

438

:

But he should be available to start

the preseason training for next season.

439

:

And now to preview the Murder Bremen game.

440

:

The stage is set Saturday afternoon as

the Red Bulls travel to Bremen to attain

441

:

their champions league aspirations.

442

:

The River Islanders have a better

idea aiming for Europe next season

443

:

with conference league qualification.

444

:

It is a battle for Europe with both

teams wanting and needing European

445

:

football for obvious reasons.

446

:

Word I haven't lost in six matches with

wins over Holstein Kil Ihr Frankfurt, BFB,

447

:

Stu Gut and A VFL Boku with their last two

remaining games being draws against St.

448

:

Powell in Union Berlin.

449

:

RBL have been up and down with humiliating

losses and good performances, a real mixed

450

:

bag and has Lu Liv although Di Rotten

Bullen haven't lost two word of Bremen in

451

:

their last 11 games with eight wins and

three draws being played out recently.

452

:

RBL have never looked so vulnerable to

a word aside, who have it all in them to

453

:

upset the record of having played European

football for the past seven years.

454

:

Will RBL make European football time

will tell some interesting match.

455

:

Facts leading to this game are

word of breman have scored seven

456

:

goals in their last five matches.

457

:

RBL have scored 10 goals

in their last five matches.

458

:

And RBL haven't kept a clean

sheet in seven matches for

459

:

player watch for both sides.

460

:

For the hosts word breman, it's

going to be Mitchell Weisser.

461

:

Weisser had 92 touches four of those in

the box against the unions for total shots

462

:

on target, playing as a wide midfielder.

463

:

He will get chances

against us in how we play.

464

:

He can score and create for

word out wide, and he is not

465

:

bad in defense either for RBL.

466

:

When the Orban, we have been missing

our captain and we need him to play.

467

:

If he doesn't, all eyes will be

on Chubby Simmons as he seems

468

:

to do really well against wea.

469

:

And after his performance against buy-in,

he'll want to run right against a lesser

470

:

team and stamp his authority on the game

to dictate the play for Di Rotten Bullen.

471

:

What I'd like to see in

this match with my lineup.

472

:

Peter Gache has to come

back into the side.

473

:

As much as I like Martine Vanderbilt,

we need the experience of Gache

474

:

in goal for the final two games.

475

:

Orban also has to play as

our defense has been shaky.

476

:

At best.

477

:

Even if Orban is only 75% fit, we need

him to at least play a half a football

478

:

to organize our defensive shape.

479

:

I would like a formation change, but

let's go with what I think will happen.

480

:

A 4, 4, 2 As a 4 2, 2 2 narrow with gci,

Leba or Band Klosterman, Baku, Verian,

481

:

ed Javi, Noosa, SESCO and or Penda.

482

:

But for me, a 3 4 3 flat.

483

:

The team changing to a 5, 4, 1 or

a 5 3, 2 in defense overloading

484

:

the midfield and defense.

485

:

Playing counter attacks,

though the center.

486

:

And out wired, our wide fours will

drop back to receive balls and create

487

:

plays as our wired midfielders who

track back and help out in defense will

488

:

overlap and push up the pitch as well.

489

:

There's a lot of moving parts here as

Red Bull Philosophy Football set up is

490

:

usually very simple and basic, but I

like to be a dynamic and unpredictable

491

:

with my buildup play and allow

for multiple avenues towards goal.

492

:

Passing the ball forward

as much as possible.

493

:

This would work in a 3, 4, 3

formation, starting as a gluing goal.

494

:

Beha on the left or bend in the

center and Keytruda on the right,

495

:

both the back three can play

and cover a wider position.

496

:

If the player who would cover it and

track back is caught out, if we lose

497

:

possession, that means Le CBA would cover

the wide area on the left and Keytruda

498

:

would cover the wide area on the right.

499

:

Midfield fall of so Le cba, Arthur

Vain, Kevin Campbell and Rider Baku.

500

:

Out on the on the right.

501

:

The two wide men come back to make the

five As explained earlier, leaving Vermin

502

:

and Campbell in the core of midfield,

they will need to help cover the wide

503

:

areas if the wide players of the back

three have to cover wide positions.

504

:

You can swap Cy ball in if you want

accurate long balls played, but I think

505

:

Eren and Campbell could get that done.

506

:

A front three of chubby on the left.

507

:

Sesco in the middle and

app Pendo on the right.

508

:

You can either have Chavy or app

Penda push back into the midfield

509

:

to receive the ball in transition

or in defense, giving them free roam

510

:

to either stay wide or cut inside.

511

:

As well as you could get your

overlap from the wide midfielders

512

:

row and back group behind as well.

513

:

If you wanna use app Pendo

Sesco as impact sub, you can.

514

:

So you can add in Noosa to the

right side of that front three.

515

:

For predictions, three, two, win for RBL

After the performance against Bain, I

516

:

fully expect the lads to jump back with a

win as the confidence against the record.

517

:

Meister will give them confidence

leading into an up and down murder side.

518

:

And now it's time for

the RBL talk segment.

519

:

Remember, you can be a part of the

show too with the RBL talk segment.

520

You didn't even come on the

show as a special guest.

:

525

:

First things first, I would like to give

a quick shout out to RBL talk, member

526

:

Claude J for during the live stream.

527

:

He successful, let's say

that again, successfully.

528

:

Picked out that Yusef Parson

will come on and score the winner

529

:

way before it even happened.

530

:

So quick shout out to you, Claude.

531

:

Very well done at picking that up.

532

:

Hopefully you did go out and

buy your lottery ticket, like

533

:

you said that you were going to.

534

:

But in today's RBO talk segment,

we have a single submission from RL

535

:

nine, Louis fan from Instagram, and

they say really good first half,

536

:

but then disappointing second half.

537

:

But we never stop believing.

538

:

You'll see with a cold chip goal

to prevent buy-in from celebrating

539

:

in our home Red Bull Arena.

540

:

Everyone fought today, so I'm not gonna

pick our best three players, but you

541

:

can let me know who you think were the

best three players in the next episode.

542

:

And also, I have another question,

and that is, where do you

543

:

think we will end this season?

544

:

For me, I think fifth, a Roper

league, but everything is possible.

545

:

First of all, I'd like to say I absolutely

agree with you there, especially

546

:

saying that everyone fought well.

547

:

It was a real well-rounded

team performance.

548

:

Although we did have some errors

in our game, in no football

549

:

game can be played perfectly.

550

:

It is hard to pick three

best players, however.

551

:

If I'm gonna have to put them,

I can't rank them who is better

552

:

than another because they all have

their own arguments on why they

553

:

could have been man of the match.

554

:

I do think Chubby Simmons does

get that man of the match, though,

555

:

for the two assists, but then

it's very hard to not use of p and

556

:

clinching that draw at the end.

557

:

So, like I said, can't really pick.

558

:

A top three.

559

:

So we're gonna just go

even across the board.

560

:

If we were going to go 1, 2,

3, just go all equal first, and

561

:

that is in no particular order.

562

:

Chavy Simmons.

563

:

For his two assists and he played very

well during that game against Byan.

564

:

He even showed he can defend as well,

something he is been, I've been very

565

:

critical of for most of the season,

and something that he's lacked as well.

566

:

So he is sort of gotten a little bit of

a spray from a little of midweek, uh, a

567

:

bit of a, like a, you know, kick in the

pants or something like that, so to speak.

568

:

As we say, in Australia, there's

a terminology like that basically.

569

:

Getting his, uh, act together

and he's produced the goods,

570

:

and then it's going to be Yusef Parson.

571

:

Because of that stunning goal at the

very end there, he really saved us, Mr.

572

:

Loebig himself.

573

:

Came up when we need him to do so.

574

:

So often this year he's come good with

a goal here or there or an assist.

575

:

He doesn't have the same output anymore,

but he's absolutely impactful sub.

576

:

And then Kevin Campbell, besides

that yellow card, I really couldn't

577

:

think that he put a foot wrong.

578

:

He played very well, got the arm

band as well, and really showed it

579

:

with his leadership out on the pitch.

580

:

Something that we've been

lacking in recent weeks with

581

:

with the OR band missing.

582

:

Due to injury.

583

:

And uh, your other question is that where

do you think that we'll end the season?

584

:

Uh, you think that will be

fifth for Europa League?

585

:

Anything is possible.

586

:

Absolutely.

587

:

At the current time of recording,

and this is on Tuesday, that.

588

:

RB Zi is sitting sixth with 50 points.

589

:

One point behind fifth, which is the

Europa League spot on 51 points and F

590

:

Fryberg are sitting fourth on 52 points.

591

:

Now F Fryberg currently have two more

games to come as well, and they have

592

:

Holstein Kill and Eintritt Frankfurt,

so hopefully they will lose at least

593

:

against Eintritt Frankfurt and.

594

:

It's very hard to see Holstein kil beating

freberg, but they have upset a few teams,

595

:

so let's at least say they only get

three points in that, which would then

596

:

give them a total of 55, which means we

would need to win our last two games.

597

:

It's definitely possible,

but it's gonna be very hard.

598

:

Let's say we win both our two games.

599

:

Then I would say fourth is definitely

on the cards as we have a better.

600

:

Gold differential, but if we don't win our

next game against Worder Breman, I'm going

601

:

to say exactly what you've picked, which

is fifth, as I do believe that we will

602

:

jump Tand and get the Europa League spot.

603

:

But we do need to win against Worder, and

if we win against Worder, we'll definitely

604

:

be playing Champions League football.

605

:

Hopefully, I'm not wrong in that regard.

606

:

It was also great for the fans who

were in the Red Bull Arena who let off

607

:

the fireworks early, and were trying

to celebrate in our home ground.

608

:

But like I said earlier, the

episode, gee, isn't Karma great?

609

:

It was so good to have them.

610

:

Not have to celebrate in our stadium.

611

:

And Harry Kane was looking to

run onto the pitch and celebrate.

612

:

And boy did he end up a little

bit red faced in the end.

613

:

Yes, he still got his alluded

trophy, but it wasn't in our house.

614

:

And that's all that matters.

615

:

As always, I'd like to thank the

contributors for their contributions

616
