Justin: 00:00:31

Hello everyone and welcome to RBL Talk.

2

: 00:00:35

On today's show we have some club news.

3

: 00:00:37

We recap the one nil Quarterfinal win

against VFL Wolfsburg in the DFB Pcal, our

4

: 00:00:44

preview match, day 24 in the Bunga Against

Mines, and also the RBL talk segment

5

: 00:00:50

with your listener input on the show.

6

: 00:00:54

Starting with Club News in this

episode and rb, Leipzig and Wolfsburg

7

: 00:00:58

wrecked to controversial penalty.

8

: 00:01:01

RB Labs secured their place in the

DFP semifinal with a one nil win

9

: 00:01:06

against Wolfsburg on Wednesday night.

10

: 00:01:08

But the result came with controversy.

11

: 00:01:10

Benjamin Sesco shot from close range

into the path of Cle and Fisher

12

: 00:01:15

who couldn't react quick enough

to move his arm out of the way.

13

: 00:01:18

Match official Tobias or reel pointed

to the spot, and even after VAR Pascal

14

: 00:01:24

Muller intervened reel wasn't sent

to the screen to review the decision.

15

: 00:01:31

Speaking after the game, RB Leipzig's,

right, or Baku discussed the decision

16

: 00:01:36

saying that Leipzig had a controversial

penalty that went in favor for us.

17

: 00:01:41

Le Zg Defender David Round even went

as far as apologizing, adding, or

18

: 00:01:46

went up to a few wolfsburg plays

during the game and said, sorry.

19

: 00:01:52

Marco Rosa also addressed the situation.

20

: 00:01:55

If I were a Wolfsberg player,

I would be upset, said I'll

21

: 00:01:58

be a alive six head coach.

22

: 00:01:59

Wolfsburg's.

23

: 00:02:00

Ralph Hassan Tel also had

his take on the decision.

24

: 00:02:06

I don't think he could see

clearly from his position.

25

: 00:02:09

The process doesn't make sense to me.

26

: 00:02:11

I don't understand why he doesn't

look at it again later that evening.

27

: 00:02:16

Ryle.

28

: 00:02:17

Commented on the reasoning behind

his decision, saying that he

29

: 00:02:21

had a clear view before adding

about his dialogue with the VAR.

30

: 00:02:26

The scene was checked.

31

: 00:02:28

We exchanged views.

32

: 00:02:29

He could not refute the parameters

mentioned with the images.

33

: 00:02:33

That's how I perceived it on field,

which is why I decided that way.

34

: 00:02:39

We will have more about the

penalty later on in the show.

35

: 00:02:44

Marco Rosa believed after RB

Lab six and German Cup win.

36

: 00:02:49

Marco Rosa is under pressure at RB Lab

Zg, but the head coach is a very happy man

37

: 00:02:54

after his side secured a place in the DFP

Park Cow semifinal after beating fellow

38

: 00:02:59

Bunger Wolfsberg on Wednesday night.

39

: 00:03:03

Thanks to Benjamin SESCO's penalty

after the controversial decision.

40

: 00:03:07

It is LE six fifth DFP Pau semi-final

appearance in seven years and after the

41

: 00:03:12

game, supporters voiced their support

for Marco Rosa chanting his name.

42

: 00:03:17

This comes after the German position

at the Saxony Club is under scrutiny

43

: 00:03:21

with many suggesting that this is a

decisive week in the club's plans, but

44

: 00:03:28

a place in the semi-final will certainly

ease some of the pressure on Rosa.

45

: 00:03:33

Whose Leipzig side sit sixth in the

Bunser table behind f Fryberg and mines

46

: 00:03:40

speaking after the game, rose

said, I'm happy about it on the

47

: 00:03:44

Leipzig fans support for Rose.

48

: 00:03:46

Very happy.

49

: 00:03:48

We have kept the chance of something big.

50

: 00:03:51

David Ram also echoed his support for

Rosa adding we are playing for our coach.

51

: 00:03:56

This victory is very important for

him, for us, and for the atmosphere.

52

: 00:04:01

Supporting director Marcel Shafer, further

added the victory, gives us a boost.

53

: 00:04:06

I hope our chess will grow a little.

54

: 00:04:08

Our self-confidence will grow a little.

55

: 00:04:11

But their one year win over Wolfsburg

didn't come without controversy.

56

: 00:04:15

Benjamin SESCO's penalty was awarded

after the Slovenian shot hit the arm

57

: 00:04:20

of Killian Fisher from close range.

58

: 00:04:23

And despite the VAR intervening,

Matt's official Tobi didn't go to

59

: 00:04:28

the monitor to review the situation.

60

: 00:04:31

However, it will clearly ease some

of the pressure on Rosa who had just

61

: 00:04:35

two wins in nine games across all

competitions before last night's win.

62

: 00:04:40

But Leipzig must now take their

performance into Saturday's,

63

: 00:04:43

game against Mines who sit level

points with the Saxony Club,

64

: 00:04:51

and now to preview that game

with the good, the bad, and the

65

: 00:04:56

ugly, starting with the good.

66

: 00:04:59

Nine shots inside the box, which was

more than the shots from outside.

67

: 00:05:03

With seven attempts, we recovered

the ball well with 53 recoveries.

68

: 00:05:07

We converted the penalty.

69

: 00:05:11

We also transitioned the ball

quite well throughout this game.

70

: 00:05:17

The bad, what we did

wrong, booked three times.

71

: 00:05:21

One was an argument from Louis app

Pender, and the third minute of added

72

: 00:05:25

time we gave away too many free kicks.

73

: 00:05:28

15 in total, eight of 16 shots off target.

74

: 00:05:32

That's 50% in a cup final.

75

: 00:05:34

That's poor form.

76

: 00:05:37

And then the ugly, what we did

really wrong, for me, it was just

77

: 00:05:41

the one thing and that was the

missed four big chances, and it had

78

: 00:05:45

to be given a soft penalty to win.

79

: 00:05:50

Three things we learned.

80

: 00:05:51

V Wolfsberg number one, local RB fans

are wearing rose colored glasses.

81

: 00:05:58

Pardon the pun.

82

: 00:06:00

Supporters have voiced their

support for Marco Rosa chanting

83

: 00:06:03

his name, which is okay.

84

: 00:06:05

I'm not against that, but to think

recent results are acceptable,

85

: 00:06:09

having questionable calls

decide that if we win or not.

86

: 00:06:12

Maybe fans need to rethink

their stance on the local man.

87

: 00:06:20

Number two, successor

to Peter Gache is ready.

88

: 00:06:24

Marty and Vanderbilt had played

barely any games and didn't look

89

: 00:06:28

like he missed a single beat.

90

: 00:06:32

Number three, Wolfsburg were unlucky and

should have not conceded that penalty.

91

: 00:06:37

VAR does more harm than good and it seems

RBL had extra help from the officials

92

: 00:06:43

and the otherwise lackluster performance.

93

: 00:06:48

Before we go into the detailed summary

and recap, we will overview the two player

94

: 00:06:52

watch players and the player watch plays

for both sides was the two center backs.

95

: 00:06:57

Uh, BL Captain Willie Orban and

Wolfsburg in Greek International

96

: 00:07:01

Center back Constantinos.

97

: 00:07:05

Willie Orban played the full 90

minutes, had 59, touches four

98

: 00:07:09

tackles, two interceptions, six

clearances, was dribbled past three

99

: 00:07:14

times, won five of nine grand duels

and won six of eight aerial duels.

100

: 00:07:19

Committed, one foul completed 39

or 45 passes and accuracy of 87%.

101

: 00:07:25

I would rate Orban out of 10.

102

: 00:07:27

A 7.4.

103

: 00:07:28

He could have been an eight,

but gets a lower mark due to

104

: 00:07:31

being dribbled past three times.

105

: 00:07:36

Constantinos Raki played the full

90 minutes, had 78, touches two

106

: 00:07:42

tackles, two interceptions, six

clearances was drill past zero times

107

: 00:07:47

one three of five grand duals and one

two of two aerial duals committed.

108

: 00:07:52

Two fouls completed.

109

: 00:07:53

53 of 62 passes an accuracy of 85%.

110

: 00:07:58

I would rate constantinos a 7.0

111

: 00:08:01

out of 10 as he lost possession 11 times.

112

: 00:08:08

RB Leig went one step closer to

a third DFP PAU title In four

113

: 00:08:12

seasons after defeating, Wolfsburg

won nil in their quarterfinal.

114

: 00:08:16

Thanks to Benjamin SESCO's

second half penalty.

115

: 00:08:19

Neither of these familiar DFP pfos who

have now faced each other six times

116

: 00:08:24

in the last 11 seasons, we're happy to

sit back in the early stages leading

117

: 00:08:28

to a raft of chances at either end.

118

: 00:08:30

Louis app Pender Ended a lengthy gold

drought at the weekend, but couldn't

119

: 00:08:34

add to that as he poked wide of the

near post with only four minutes.

120

: 00:08:39

Played before.

121

: 00:08:40

Wolfsburg's Tiago Thomas Thundered

into the side netting having been

122

: 00:08:45

sent through by Patrick Wimmer.

123

: 00:08:49

A few wild long range efforts from Leipzig

then broke up the tempo, but the visitors

124

: 00:08:54

were back at it by the half hour mark

to call Martine Vanderbilt into a pair

125

: 00:08:59

of simple saves that looked to be it

for the first half action, but there was

126

: 00:09:03

a flurry of chances and stoppage time,

including wis near post effort, which

127

: 00:09:08

was saved well by Martine Vanderbilt.

128

: 00:09:11

The opening stage of the second

half unfolds similarity to the

129

: 00:09:14

first with the higher volume

of chances, but still no goals.

130

: 00:09:19

Muhammad Amor score of Abra Wolfsburg

Comprehensive five one win here in

131

: 00:09:24

November came the closest of anyone

yet looping his header against the

132

: 00:09:28

bar at the back post Van Voy was soon

busy again to tip over Andreas SCOs.

133

: 00:09:36

Olson's thunderous effort, but the

insuring Ziga pressure resulted

134

: 00:09:41

in the opener for the Red Bulls.

135

: 00:09:43

It came from the spot.

136

: 00:09:44

After SESCO's cross bounced up onto

the arm of Killian Fisher, and the

137

: 00:09:49

Slovenia stepped up himself to bury

it into the bottom left from 12 yards.

138

: 00:09:54

That was the first goal.

139

: 00:09:55

Wolfsburg had conceded in the

pocket hour this term, but a second.

140

: 00:09:59

It nearly came soon after, through

chances for App Penda and Amadou.

141

: 00:10:02

Hi.

142

: 00:10:04

Live Z's apparent refusal to

defend their lead resulted in

143

: 00:10:07

an abundance of chances late on.

144

: 00:10:09

But Kevin and Barons was unable to

convert from the wolves clearest

145

: 00:10:14

opening as they were eliminated.

146

: 00:10:16

Although they have shown their metal

in defending ones Legg position.

147

: 00:10:20

In each of their last three rounds,

Loeb will still hope to draw third tier

148

: 00:10:24

Armenia biofield, who are already in

the semifinals, thanks to a remarkable

149

: 00:10:28

run, including victories over Union

Berlin, f Fryberg, and Wea Breman.

150

: 00:10:34

The best plays for RBL were Martine

Vanderbilt, David Ram, Arthur Vermin.

151

: 00:10:39

Benjamin Sesco were the OR band.

152

: 00:10:43

And Kevin Campbell.

153

: 00:10:44

Best players for Wolfsburg

were Patrick Wimmer.

154

: 00:10:47

Deni Favaro.

155

: 00:10:49

Constantinos Cus and Mattias Sandberg.

156

: 00:10:54

Before we preview the mines game, I have

a quick suspension and injury list update.

157

: 00:11:00

Christopher Baumgartner and Yusef

Parson both have slight injuries

158

: 00:11:05

and are questionable for the

upcoming game against mines.

159

: 00:11:09

The injuries are nothing serious, but

they may not play any part against mines.

160

: 00:11:17

Further to that as Drago, Xavier

Schlager, Benjamin Hendricks and

161

: 00:11:21

Antonio Noosa are all still out

with their previous injuries.

162

: 00:11:26

All this can be found on the rbl talk.com

163

: 00:11:28

website and across social media.

164

: 00:11:32

And now to preview the minds Game.

165

: 00:11:34

Minds are one of the informed teams

in the competition who are third best

166

: 00:11:38

sight in the competition in their

last five matches, having just lost

167

: 00:11:42

one and drawn one and winning the

other three with the winds over Saint

168

: 00:11:46

Powell, Lee Heim, and VFB stood guard.

169

: 00:11:49

RBL on the other hand, have not

lost any of their last five games.

170

: 00:11:53

However, we have dropped many

points only winning one game against

171

: 00:11:58

Saint Powell and dropping points

against Osberg Heim and Union.

172

: 00:12:02

Berlin

173

: 00:12:03

Mines as Form might assist them in

running over the top of Di Rotten Bullen.

174

: 00:12:07

Even having the home advantage, as mines

have shown, they are more than capable

175

: 00:12:12

of finishing in a European cup place.

176

: 00:12:14

History is on the side of RBL as

mines have only ever beaten them

177

: 00:12:18

once at home in the Bunga, which

nd of April,: 2023

178

: 00:12:23

A free flowing game with goals as

expected, but what will the end result

179

: 00:12:27

be with three players missing for

the visitors as Dominic Kor will be

180

: 00:12:32

suspended and doubts over injured

players, Phillip and Moi and Stefan Bell.

181

: 00:12:39

Some interesting match facts leading

to this game are RBO have scored

182

: 00:12:43

five goals in their last five

matches and mines have scored six

183

: 00:12:46

goals in their last five matches.

184

: 00:12:48

Player watch for both sides

will be for RBL David Realm.

185

: 00:12:54

Rammy has been below his best since

returning to the side from injury,

186

: 00:12:57

but has shown promising signs an

essential part in our buildup play

187

: 00:13:01

and everything good on the pitch.

188

: 00:13:03

Rammy will look to exploit the left flank

and set up a magnitude of chances against

189

: 00:13:07

one of the bundes leaguer's best teams.

190

: 00:13:10

And for mines, it's gonna

be goalkeeper Robin.

191

: 00:13:13

Zenner.

192

: 00:13:15

Robin has been on a hot streak in

form of late with the man of the Match

193

: 00:13:18

performance on February against Heim.

194

: 00:13:21

He has also been one of the best

players for mines in February

195

: 00:13:24

with big performances against

Saint Pley, Bremen, and Stuttgart.

196

: 00:13:30

What I would like to see in this

match with my lineup, van Devor

197

: 00:13:34

deserves to start a getting goal.

198

: 00:13:36

I felt he was a shining

light in an otherwise poor

199

: 00:13:38

performance in the DFBB hour.

200

: 00:13:41

The formation of the 3 4 1 2 seems

to be preferred for Marco Rosa.

201

: 00:13:45

So just a few squad rotations from the

last fixture will almost line up the same.

202

: 00:13:50

Back three of Behe all band and

Klosterman rotating Keytruda midfield.

203

: 00:13:55

Four of round on the left.

204

: 00:13:57

Hy replacing vermin.

205

: 00:13:59

Saw replacing camp and Baku being rotated

for Costa and Kovich on the right.

206

: 00:14:06

Chubby starts in number 10, role with the

strike do of app Penda and Cisco up front.

207

: 00:14:11

At some stage, can we see Tji Gomez

actually get his long awaited debut?

208

: 00:14:17

I personally thought that he

had a big chance in the DFB Pau

209

: 00:14:23

for predictions.

210

: 00:14:25

I'm hoping that I'm wrong in this, but

I'm going to go with a two one loss.

211

: 00:14:29

Something has to change drastically

with how we are traveling at the moment.

212

: 00:14:33

And I don't see a, a

better result than a draw.

213

: 00:14:37

I think recent poor form and

things going our way is being

214

: 00:14:40

kind to us and we are worse off

than what the table is suggesting.

215

: 00:14:44

How long can this good fortune run for?

216

: 00:14:47

This remains to be seen.

217

: 00:14:51

And now it's time for the

listener questions and the show's

The username is Baum, and I believe

it's three or four under scrolls,

227

: 00:15:29

it says, FYI.

228

: 00:15:30

You couldn't let Coppo host watch along.

229

: 00:15:33

Let's not get carried away.

230

: 00:15:34

Was only a one goal

penalty kick goal win this.

231

: 00:15:38

Do you think they will get

Armenia away in cup draw?

232

: 00:15:42

Does biofield exist or do you make in DFP?

233

: 00:15:45

Pau, the lowest team always is

allowed to play at home 'cause to

234

: 00:15:49

slightly help them being underdogs.

235

: 00:15:51

Not so favorites.

236

: 00:15:53

This draw will take place

nd of March,: 2025

237

: 00:15:56

The matches will take place on

nd of April,: 2025

238

: 00:16:00

Should fans book their tickets for

final on the 24th of May or not yet?

239

: 00:16:04

I know I did a second ago.

240

: 00:16:06

Say fans shouldn't get too carried away.

241

: 00:16:09

Lo Zig gotten job done.

242

: 00:16:12

Many as myself would prefer

to see Stuttgart versus Bayer

243

: 00:16:15

play each other in other match.

244

: 00:16:18

Low key.

245

: 00:16:19

Are you going?

246

: 00:16:20

Berlin Final to sit with

Jorgen in the press box.

247

: 00:16:22

Have you booked your flight tickets live?

248

: 00:16:25

Zig must stay humble and simply try

to win semi-final match to reach this

249

: 00:16:30

final, depending on the time and your

own schedule with Time zone in Australia.

250

: 00:16:35

Are you doing a watch along

for Kill At Home in April?

251

: 00:16:39

You would expect a live Seguin in this.

252

: 00:16:42

Knowing them they are so inconsistent

is becoming a mini meme joke.

253

: 00:16:47

Face palm emoji.

254

: 00:16:50

A little bit to get through this,

so let's go straight through it.

255

: 00:16:54

So I'm just gonna take this time

now to apologize to every single

256

: 00:16:57

RBL talk listener that unfortunately

I got called into work at last

257

: 00:17:01

minute, so I had to not do the watch

along as much as I wanted to try.

258

: 00:17:08

I couldn't get out of it.

259

: 00:17:11

That being said, the next watch along.

260

: 00:17:13

Should be fine with work as I'll be

finishing at 2:00 AM my time and the

261

: 00:17:18

Bunes League game starts at 4:00 AM

in the top spiel against SC Fryberg

262

: 00:17:23

coming up in just a few short weeks.

263

: 00:17:26

However, it would've been nice to

let JN lop or someone else do the

264

: 00:17:29

watch long for me as someone who's

respectable and able to do it as well.

265

: 00:17:35

But unfortunately we're not at that stage.

266

: 00:17:37

So it's all me and only me, but

I wouldn't have it any other way,

267

: 00:17:41

especially interacting with many

of you listeners of the podcast,

268

: 00:17:47

as you said, let's not get carried away.

269

: 00:17:49

It was only one penalty kick

in it, but do you think that

270

: 00:17:52

we'll get how many a biofield.

271

: 00:17:55

Well that depends.

272

: 00:17:57

I sort of hope that we don't get

our biofield because I can't see us

273

: 00:18:01

actually being able to beat them.

274

: 00:18:03

I know they're a third division side,

but if you look at the track record of

275

: 00:18:07

how RB Loick have been playing, I think

we could quite possibly get embarrassed.

276

: 00:18:13

I would much rather have us play against

bio Levi them and lose, because then

277

: 00:18:19

there'd be nearly no excuses for.

278

: 00:18:21

Manager, Marco Rosa.

279

: 00:18:24

But if it doesn't matter who we play,

I feel that we're going to be losing.

280

: 00:18:28

So when you say further on that,

should fans book their tickets

281

: 00:18:32

for the final on the 24th of May?

282

: 00:18:34

I'd say not yet.

283

: 00:18:37

At least wait until our next game.

284

: 00:18:38

Otherwise, I'm not too sure what

it's like over there in Germany.

285

: 00:18:42

But you might not be able to

get a refund on your tickets and

286

: 00:18:45

it won't be money well spent.

287

: 00:18:48

I do think most RB fans are

probably looking for the

288

: 00:18:51

Stu Guard first buyer game.

289

: 00:18:53

That way we do get our nearby

field that gives us the best

290

: 00:18:56

chance getting into the final.

291

: 00:18:59

I just can't see it happening.

292

: 00:19:02

Oh, as much as I would love to go to

Berlin, and I know that you are joking

293

: 00:19:06

around when it comes to these jorgen

and clop comments, but no, I will

294

: 00:19:11

not be going to Berlin in the final

to sit in the press box with Jorgen

295

: 00:19:15

Klo, so I haven't booked any tickets.

296

: 00:19:18

That being said, if I would

ever go there, I would certainly

297

: 00:19:21

do some content for you all.

298

: 00:19:25

So if anyone from Red Ball

is listening, hit me up.

299

: 00:19:30

Lab Zg do need to stay humble and when it

comes to the next watch along besides the

300

: 00:19:35

game that previously mentioned against

Fryberg, I'm quite happy to do another

301

: 00:19:41

one against Holstein Kehl in April.

302

: 00:19:44

That being said, though, I

actually haven't gotten my

303

: 00:19:46

work roster for the next month.

304

: 00:19:49

I've got it all for.

305

: 00:19:51

This month in March, I don't have

anything in April as of this stage, and

306

: 00:19:56

I work through a couple of different

work sites, so I'm unsure exactly

307

: 00:19:59

what my rostered times will be.

308

: 00:20:01

If I work at one work site, I'll be most

likely able to do a watch long, as long

309

: 00:20:06

as it's going to be in the top spiel spot.

310

: 00:20:09

So that being said, we'll definitely

get two games in March coming up,

311

: 00:20:13

one to make up for the last game

and another just in case I can't do

312

: 00:20:18

a live stream watch along in April.

313

: 00:20:21

I do expect L Zg to win

against Holstein khl.

314

: 00:20:25

And, but as you said, it is a

mini meme joke that we are so

315

: 00:20:29

inconsistent I wouldn't put us

past losing against Holstein kill.

316

: 00:20:35

But anything can happen

in a month of football.

317

: 00:20:37

So ask me what I think when it comes

to the preview of that game coming up.

318

: 00:20:42

Next submission is from RL nine Louis

fan on Instagram, and they said We

319

: 00:20:48

played such a great game yesterday.

320

: 00:20:50

We dominated every aspect.

321

: 00:20:51

We only lacked finishing and focus

in front of Goal Sesco and app.

322

: 00:20:55

Penda wasted so many chances,

but still I think they had.

323

: 00:21:00

Both a good game and especially Sesco.

324

: 00:21:03

Our best players were Arthur Mirran.

325

: 00:21:05

This guy was being absolutely

insane in the last two matches.

326

: 00:21:09

He helps us a lot in winning the ball

back and starting counter attacks.

327

: 00:21:13

Two.

328

: 00:21:13

Martin Vanderbilt crazy saves.

329

: 00:21:16

He never disappoints

when given the chance.

330

: 00:21:18

And three Benjamin Sesco.

331

: 00:21:20

He played very good despite not con

concentrating in front of goal most of

332

: 00:21:25

the time, but still won us the match

by winning a penalty and scoring it.

333

: 00:21:30

Our worst player was nobody.

334

: 00:21:32

They all played good.

335

: 00:21:34

Only two more steps towards the cup.

336

: 00:21:38

Well, this is going to be one

of those interesting things.

337

: 00:21:42

Most of the time I seem to be.

338

: 00:21:45

On the same side as my listener

base, and we don't really

339

: 00:21:49

conflict on a lot of things.

340

: 00:21:51

That being said, coming up into

this game, I am going to have to say

341

: 00:21:55

that a worst player probably wasn't.

342

: 00:21:58

Nobody in a sense of, I can't

really pick one out, however.

343

: 00:22:04

When you said they all played

good, I'd have to kindly disagree.

344

: 00:22:08

I don't actually think

that we all played good.

345

: 00:22:11

I think besides the aforementioned

players that I said earlier, who was

346

: 00:22:16

the best players for RBO in that game?

347

: 00:22:19

I think the real only two standouts

from which you also said Arthur

348

: 00:22:23

Vermin and Martine Vanderbilt.

349

: 00:22:27

I think Martine Vandervoort needs

to actually start playing in goal.

350

: 00:22:31

As he's not only going to be the

future of the club in the number one

351

: 00:22:34

position between the six, he's also

shown that without any game time at

352

: 00:22:40

all, basically for over at least a month

of football, he can still play that.

353

: 00:22:45

Nothing ever changed.

354

: 00:22:46

Nothing happened.

355

: 00:22:48

Arthur, the mirror has started to develop

quite nicely in the past couple of weeks,

356

: 00:22:53

and as you said, he's winning a lot of the

ball back and starting counter attacks.

357

: 00:22:58

I think some of Arthur Vermeer's

distribution is sometimes left lacking,

358

: 00:23:02

but we also have to remember he's such

a young player and not every player

359

: 00:23:07

is perfect, just like I'm not perfect.

360

: 00:23:10

We're all not perfect.

361

: 00:23:13

So there's always things to improve

on, but Arthur Vermin has the pedigree

362

: 00:23:17

of being able to play in the spot like

Kevin Campbell, and he can play as a

363

: 00:23:22

deep lying midfield, or a number six, or

a number eight, which is a box to box.

364

: 00:23:27

This is something that Kevin

Campbell tried to achieve in the

365

: 00:23:30

DFB Pakar Cup final, but Kevin

Campbell was playing quite poorly.

366

: 00:23:37

He got dispossessed quite

a few times, and he just.

367

: 00:23:40

Was playing an off game,

which is understandable.

368

: 00:23:44

He is starting to get into this

twilight of his career, and he's

369

: 00:23:47

been a good player for us for many,

many years, and not everybody can

370

: 00:23:50

have a great game every single time.

371

: 00:23:53

I do think that because we miss so many

chances that we really need to invest in

372

: 00:23:58

getting better plays in certain positions.

373

: 00:24:03

Now, when I say better players, I don't

mean better players to replace the strike

374

: 00:24:06

doer of Benjamin Sesco and Louis Pender.

375

: 00:24:09

I still think that is the best

key forwards that we have.

376

: 00:24:13

However, going into future, we need some

good players to come in and replace them.

377

: 00:24:20

At the moment, we essentially have

nobody, even when Yusef Parson is

378

: 00:24:24

fit, we're still not going to get the

goal output that he wants used to do.

379

: 00:24:29

And that's no knock on

our club record holder.

380

: 00:24:32

He's such a great player and

he's still gonna be able to

381

: 00:24:34

win new games off his own boot.

382

: 00:24:37

He's just not going to give you

a brace as regular as he used to

383

: 00:24:41

or score as much as he used to.

384

: 00:24:46

Investment really is needed in

our club squad as we need to have

385

: 00:24:52

at least 30 players in our squad.

386

: 00:24:57

The way I would like it is to have a

reserves team almost as a backup team,

387

: 00:25:03

so when we have big games, we can

rotate these through, for instance.

388

: 00:25:10

Resting Louis App Pender and Benjamin

Sesco wouldn't be such a bad idea.

389

: 00:25:15

However, at the moment we can't do that.

390

: 00:25:18

What I would like to do and what

is ideal, is to have two plays that

391

: 00:25:22

can come in and replace them both.

392

: 00:25:24

So if we were to play someone like

Holstein Kill, which we should be Witting,

393

: 00:25:28

or SG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, those

two can come on the same thing for Chavy.

394

: 00:25:34

Rest Chavy as well.

395

: 00:25:36

As much as these three key plays

alone don't want to have to be

396

: 00:25:39

rested at some point, you can't turn

around and play every single game

397

: 00:25:44

and including your international

duty, your body will just give out.

398

: 00:25:47

You'll start playing poor.

399

: 00:25:49

You'll get over fatigued or

you could possibly get injured.

400

: 00:25:53

Think back to Xavier Schlager last

season, he played too many games,

401

: 00:25:58

shouldn't have played the game,

and then he did his ACL injury.

402

: 00:26:04

Things like this can be prevented if the

club decides to invest in the the squad.

403

: 00:26:11

How we invest in that is up to the

club, whether that's spending an extra

404

: 00:26:15

30 million Euro on about five or six

players or promoting from within.

405

: 00:26:22

That's not to mention we still

haven't seen Tedium Gomez yet.

406

: 00:26:26

As always, I'd like to thank the

contributors for their contributions

407
