What were some of the surprising things for you on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga? Was it Bayern not being able to overcome the Covic-magic + Lukebakio as the Bayern monster? Martin Schmidt’s mechanic skills failing to stop the BVB bulldozer? Perhaps one of you sent my RB Leipzig analysis to Marcel Sabitzer (clearly I wasn’t smart enough to include him in my fantasy team. FYI, next time you’re gonna have a breakout spite game, can u tell me in advance, Herr Sabitzer?)
Were you perchance surprised by the excellent debut of Paderborn (I wasn’t, but I stan Baumgart) and as disappointed as Peter Bosz? What are we to make of the goalless ex-Mainz player duel battle, aka the game of Embolo? (Gladbach-Schalke)? What on Earth are Freiburg doing in the UCL spots! Let me know in the comments!
Over in BVB land, I was pleasantly intrigued to see Axel Witsel taking a more progressive attacking role, both receiving/taking the ball deeper into the attacking third and completing diagonal balls to teammates making runs into the 18. Given his static play on the offensive end toward the end of last season I was fearing that my #28 jersey was a rash purchase so this was definitely nice to see.
Do you think the increased attacking ambition from Witsel & Weigl portends a brighter future for the double 6 combination? I wonder now if Brandt will be employed as a winger after all in light of this, and whether Dahoud has any future there at all.
