7

:

First in Club news today, JLo's

role in the sacking of RB lab.

8

:

Zg head coach Marco Rosa BUILD was, has

revealed that the role of Jergen Klo

9

:

has played in the sacking of RB lab.

10

:

Zg head coach Marco Rosa over the

weekend club began his role as Red

11

:

Bull's global head of soccer at the

beginning of the year, and is involved

12

:

with each of Red Bull's football clubs.

13

:

But his recent focus has been

on a struggling lob zig side.

14

:

On Sunday, it was announced

that Leib Zg had sacked the head

15

:

coach, Marco Rosa, following

one, nil lost to British Mission.

16

:

Glad back, which leaves them six in

the Buddhas Leaguer K Club is said to

17

:

have protected his former player for

as long as possible in the role even

18

:

going as far as visiting Leib Zg last

week and even tried to motivate the team

19

:

for the final stretch of the season.

20

:

However, the situation has become

too difficult and lop along with Red

21

:

Bull Managing Director Oliver sla.

22

:

I made the decision to part

ways with the Liveing native.

23

:

ARB Zi Hold talks with Crystal

Palace over Oliver Glaser's.

24

:

Management over permanent

head coach position.

25

:

Sky Germany reports that ARB Leipzig

are in contact with the management

26

:

of Crystal Palace Manager Oliver

Glasner over becoming their head coach

27

:

in the summer following the second

of Marco Rosa at the weekend is.

28

:

In charge on an interim basis

for the rest of the season.

29

:

Lab are now beginning their

search for a permanent solution.

30

:

A meeting between Labc and Glasner

as a management was said to have

31

:

taken place in London recently.

32

:

Labc Sporting director,

Marcel Shaa, has a passed with

33

:

Glasner having worked with him.

34

:

When the Austrian was the

head coach of Wolfsburg.

35

:

On top of this, Glasner also has a

history with Red Bull as he was at

36

:

Roger Schmidt's assistant coach when the

German was Red Bull Salzberg manager.

37

:

I.

38

:

The current hurdle of a potential

deal is the release clause in

39

:

the Austrian pilots contract.

40

:

This means Glasner is not the

only candidate with Schmitz.

41

:

Also on the list, Glasner is a successful

manager in the Bunes Leaguer having

42

:

led Wolfsburg to the Champions League.

43

:

But his biggest career achievement

was leading Ihr Frankfurt to Roper

44

:

League win in 2022 at Palace.

45

:

Despite a difficult period at the

beginning of the season, he has

46

:

led them to an FA Cup semifinal.

47

:

Long list of suitors for Cha Simmons.

48

:

Some are Move on the cards.

49

:

Just months after RB lab, ZG made

Cha Simmons loan move from Paris.

50

:

Saint Germain permanent

speculation is rife that he could

51

:

be on his way out this summer.

52

:

According to Fabrizio Romano, Sims could

be offloaded during the summer transfer

53

:

window if Lab Zg received an offer in

the region of a 70 to 75 million Euro.

54

:

The Italian transfer market Insider

claims that Simons would ideally

55

:

like to join Barcelona, where

he has played as a youngster.

56

:

However, it is highly doubtful that

the Catalent Jones would be willing

57

:

and able to splash such a fee on him.

58

:

A move to the Premier League seems

a more likely option with the likes

59

:

of Manchester United, Liverpool

Arsenal, and Chelsea all monitoring

60

:

the player according to fio Romano.

61

:

Should Leipzig failed to qualify for

the Champions League, a departure

62

:

would probably be inevitable.

63

:

Louv reveals how his move to lab Zg

came about following the stacking

64

:

of Marco Rosa as coach of RB lab.

65

:

Zg.

66

:

So Louv

67

:

has been put in charge on an interim

basis for the remainder of the season.

68

:

Louv who has previously worked as

an assistant coach for live Zg did

69

:

not hesitate when he was offered the

job and canceled all other plans.

70

:

It's an interesting story.

71

:

I was booked for the weekend because

we were going to celebrate a birthday.

72

:

Then I blab managing director for sport.

73

:

Marcel Shafer called me out of the blue

and said I was the man for the job.

74

:

I blab means a lot to me.

75

:

This is where I started

my coaching career.

76

:

I was part of this family until 2018.

77

:

The birthday was canceled, of course, said

louv at a press conference on Tuesday.

78

:

Mar so and I talked a lot and

came to a decision together.

79

:

He can be very persuasive.

80

:

It's an honor for me.

81

:

My diary was actually full until May.

82

:

I was end tand for for the Afo mentioned

birthday and had to tell my wife and

83

:

children when Jo Klo and Oliver Mi laugh.

84

:

RB Zis, global head of soccer and chairman

of the supervisory board respectively.

85

:

Believe in you.

86

:

You don't think twice.

87

:

I'm here for a reason.

88

:

We have a lot of work to

do and of course big goals.

89

:

Mince laugh explains change of

coach and counts entire club.

90

:

Rrb Lab six.

91

:

Powerful supervisory board Chairman

Oliver Mi Laugh has spoken for the first

92

:

time on Sky about the change of coach.

93

:

Recently there has been a

lack of conviction to take

94

:

the last steps in this season.

95

:

Explain the Red Bull Boss.

96

:

However, he did not have the last word.

97

:

Marcel Shaa has overall responsibility.

98

:

Of course, we exchanged ideas.

99

:

In the end.

100

:

Marcel is the one who works

with the team on a daily basis.

101

:

Seized developments and problems.

102

:

Sed men's love the 49-year-old.

103

:

Thanked former coach Marco

Rosa enlisted his successes.

104

:

You have to put emotions aside

to make decisions that are

105

:

not only shaped by emotions.

106

:

Men's life said.

107

:

Although the dismissal hit

the coach as the main sporting

108

:

responsible, it is too easy to

always blame everything on the coach.

109

:

The crisis is not only an issue for

the coaching team, but for me, an

110

:

issue for the club as a whole that

the overall impulse was missing.

111

:

This energy that has been distinguished

us over the years to always go one step

112

:

further, saided men's life, a clear

criticism of management, personnel,

113

:

and the development of the past months.

114

:

The boss also took to the team.

115

:

To task.

116

:

It's still a squad that despite all

the upheaval and injuries, has to

117

:

play better than it has played so far.

118

:

We have a fantastic squad that should not

only make Europe with a bang, he demanded,

119

:

by the way, Min's laugh, 1000% ruled out

J LOP taking over lawn ball as coach.

120

:

The man from Bon said with a laugh,

I will do that before that, and

121

:

nobody really wants to see that.

122

:

Time to recap the DFBP semi-final player

watch for both sides was Dennis AV for

123

:

VFB, who didn't make an appearance,

and for RBL it was Chubby Simmons.

124

:

Javi played the full 90 minutes,

had 70 touches, made 46 of 52

125

:

passes at a accuracy of 88%.

126

:

He played four key passes, created

one big chance, had four total shots,

127

:

three off target, one on target.

128

:

Won three of 10 ground dues.

129

:

Lost possession 15 times.

130

:

Was vowed twice and committed.

131

:

Two fouls.

132

:

I would give a rating for

Chubby Simmons of around 6.9

133

:

and now for what we did right with

the good, the bad, and the ugly.

134

:

Starting with the good, what we did right?

135

:

Plenty of shots.

136

:

25 in total compared to Stu Guts.

137

:

Nine 17 of those were inside the box.

138

:

Created three big chances.

139

:

We recovered the ball well

as we recovered the ball.

140

:

51 times we entered the final

third, 71 times more than Stuttgart.

141

:

They had 44.

142

:

We had 459 outta 550 successful

passes at a completion rate of 83%.

143

:

26 touches in the Stu Guard box.

144

:

We were even in the duals.

145

:

We were minus 1 53 to 52,

146

:

but won the ground jewels 37 to 36.

147

:

Tons of possession.

148

:

68% to 32%.

149

:

Now, for what we did wrong, the

bad committed, too many fouls, 14

150

:

to eight, pulled from set pieces.

151

:

Never looked like scoring or

creating chances from corners

152

:

or dead bull situations.

153

:

Not enough clearances.

154

:

Should have cleared the ball out on

a few occasions instead of trying to

155

:

play out from the back and play ping

pong ball by hitting the ball around.

156

:

We were poorly disciplined.

157

:

We had three LA cards and

we can't dribble the ball.

158

:

Only two successful dribbles

at a success rate of 12%.

159

:

Four off sides.

160

:

Stuttgart also had the same,

161

:

and now for the ugly, what we

did really wrong substitutions.

162

:

David Ram lost the ball 30 times

and Siwa was booked early on.

163

:

When weren't these two plays

substituted as they were poor.

164

:

Instead, Baumgartner comes on in the

70th minute for and Kovich and Tedium

165

:

Gomez in the 80th minute for Ride

or Baku, both sub players were from

166

:

the right hand side of the pitch.

167

:

Now for three things we learned.

168

:

VVFB should guard number one.

169

:

We have been failing to create

chances, but under New Interim

170

:

Boss Luv, we can clearly see an

emphasis on attacking football.

171

:

Number two, LUV is more

tactically adapt than Marco Rosa.

172

:

Going back to basic formation of a simple

flat 4, 4, 2 helped us in many ways.

173

:

And number three, improvements will

come under Z Luv, but it'll take time.

174

:

And now time for the

summary and detailed recap.

175

:

After the game, multiple players and

officials from RBL spoke to the media.

176

:

This is what they had to say.

177

:

Masal Shafer, managing

Director of Sport at rb.

178

:

The disappointment is very big

because we missed a huge opportunity

179

:

to play in a final in Berlin

and a win and another title.

180

:

That's a shame because

the team tried hard.

181

:

The statistics speak for themselves.

182

:

We have almost three times

as many shots on goal as VFB.

183

:

Nonetheless, you have to acknowledge that

they struck ice cold in two set pieces and

184

:

the two nil can't happen to us like that.

185

:

'cause we make a big mistake in

the buildup play, lose the ball and

186

:

aren't organized enough and we simply

missed it without 25 shots on goal.

187

:

Lack the final consistency in the penalty

area to leave the pitch as winners.

188

:

The disappointment is huge.

189

:

Nicholas ald, I'll be midfielder.

190

:

I think we with a better team.

191

:

The statistics speak for us.

192

:

We had the game under control

except for the first few minutes.

193

:

Nevertheless, you lose three.

194

:

One.

195

:

That hurts a lot.

196

:

There wasn't so much

from VFB from the game.

197

:

We had more chances,

but we didn't take them.

198

:

VFB, were more efficient.

199

:

We have to blame ourselves for that.

200

:

We're working on that.

201

:

And finally RBL, captain,

well, the OR band.

202

:

We didn't have to lose the game, but we

still have to congratulate Stuttgart.

203

:

They deserved to make it to the final.

204

:

They were the much better in

terms of coldness in the pits.

205

:

We had huge chances to score goals.

206

:

We had the big goal

today to get to Berlin.

207

:

Many know how beautiful it is there.

208

:

That's why we're disappointed

that we didn't make it.

209

:

Overall.

210

:

It wasn't a bad game for us.

211

:

We did a lot of things much better

than in the past games, but in the

212

:

end, it's the results that counts.

213

:

Semi-finals and finals in

particular are there to win.

214

:

No expected goals count.

215

:

You have to win the game.

216

:

VFB still gut will play in their

first DFB Pau final since:

217

:

Swabian defeated RBL three one to book

their place in Berlin against third

218

:

tier AMIA Bayfield from the ashes

of Marco Rose's three year reign.

219

:

The Red Bulls were looking for an

instant pick me up under Interim Coach

220

:

Louv, but the early signs were omness.

221

:

When the home side took the lead

inside a dominant opening 10 minutes,

222

:

despite the initial corner being

dealt with by the visitor's defense,

223

:

the headed clearance only looped

straight to Angela Stiller, who rifled

224

:

an unstoppable volley beyond Martin

Vanderbilt from the edge of the box.

225

:

Minutes later, Edin Devic.

226

:

Was denied in what would prove to be

the peak of stook DA's dominance as

227

:

very soon it would be the goal at the

other end that was under bombardment.

228

:

As the wayside grew into the game, Nobel

soon made himself the star of the show

229

:

with the string of excellent saves.

230

:

As the goalkeeper denied Lewis app Pender

three times to keep his team in the lead.

231

:

Nobel made two stops in three minutes

to deny the Belgian striker on the

232

:

quarter hour mark, but his best save

came midway through the first half when

233

:

he tipped away a goal bound, append a

shot at full stretch and on an eventful

234

:

opening to the second half was abruptly.

235

:

Interrupted by an excellent

move by Stuttgart that led to

236

:

their second goal seizing on

sloppy play from their opponent.

237

:

Nick Waldemar and Devic combined with

the Bosnia striker playing a sublime no

238

:

look pass to allow Wildman to place his

finish into the bottom corner under the

239

:

gaze of their head of global soccer.

240

:

Jerk and Lop Luzi bounced back

immediately as Stuttgart failed to

241

:

clear a corner properly, and Benjamin

Sesco poked home from close range.

242

:

Herba was far from internal

for the men from Saxony.

243

:

And it lasted just 11 minutes

as Jamie Luling scrambled home.

244

:

A third goal for Stuttgart from a corner

245

:

to seal with the Ian's place

in the final Sebastian Ho's.

246

:

Men will be strong favorites in

the final as they face an Armenia

247

:

side two divisions below them.

248

:

But in order to win their first DFB Pau

in 28 years, they must avoid becoming

249

:

the fifth top flight side to fall

victim to Menna minnows from West F.

250

:

Best players for VFB Stuttgart

were Alexander Noble, Jamie

251

:

Leveling, who completed the most

dribbles with the two in the match.

252

:

Amerin Devic, Angelo

Stiller, and Finn jts.

253

:

Best players for RBL were Benjamin

Sesco who hit the woodwork

254

:

one time in six total shots.

255

:

And Willie Orban who won the

most duals in the match with 13.

256

:

Now let's dissect those goals.

257

:

We'll start with ours first and

then break down the stood gut three.

258

:

I'll BO goal number one.

259

:

This goal came in the 62nd minute.

260

:

The buildup play started from

a quick throw in on the left

261

:

hand side from David Round.

262

:

We had some good passing and movement from

left to right and players doing passes and

263

:

goes, which was good to see so many times.

264

:

We are too static when we

are in the buildup play.

265

:

In the final third, we had a

couple of shots before I pour

266

:

clearance from Stuttgart.

267

:

Which fell to with the oil band,

and he did a well weighted lobbed

268

:

pass to Benjamin Sesco, who tapped

home an easy finish as he was

269

:

gold side with nobody in his way.

270

:

VFB stood guard goal number one.

271

:

This goal came in the fifth minute.

272

:

The buildup play started from

giving away a free kick as right

273

:

Baku fouled Nick Waldemar, which

was played to the right side.

274

:

And a cross came in and nobody marked

Maximilian Middle Start at the far

275

:

post and got an easy shot away.

276

:

Thankfully, his volley was

deflected and went out for a corner.

277

:

That's where we conceded with

Maximilian taking the corner.

278

:

He crossed centrally to the near

post with Benjamin Sesco Rising High.

279

:

The head of the ball was a clearance,

but only as far as Angela Steeler

280

:

who strikes the ball first time on

the volley into the top right corner

281

:

of the net from his right boot.

282

:

Now, how could we have prevented this one?

283

:

Firstly, Vanderbilt should

have reacted better.

284

:

We can only assume he didn't see it

until late as plays were all in front

285

:

of him, but would've liked him to at

least move and make an attempt to save

286

:

it as he does take a shuffle to his

left where the ball was struck, but

287

:

no actual attempt after his shuffle.

288

:

And two, we need to make sure players

are marked or at least don't have

289

:

much room to work with so we can

block those shots from distance.

290

:

VFB got goal number two.

291

:

This goal came in the 57th minute.

292

:

The buildup play started as we attempted

to pass the ball out from the back with

293

:

the final pass from David Round being poor

as it was intercepted by Stuttgart and.

294

:

As we had turned the ball over

in a dangerous area in the

295

:

defensive third to the middle.

296

:

Third players could not get into

their positions quickly, which led

297

:

to Stuttgart players being jagged.

298

:

In between RBL defenders.

299

:

Stuttgart worked the ball

from out wide on the right

300

:

To the middle right of the

gold square past the penalty

301

:

arc with both Devic and emr.

302

:

Gets to the edge of the box, plays a

one two together, then as Waldemar,

303

:

who then slides the ball into the

bottom right corner of the net.

304

:

Now, how could we have prevented this one?

305

:

This is a simple one.

306

:

Man, voor had no chance of saving it.

307

:

We need to not turn the ball

over in a dangerous position.

308

:

As it's hard to get back into shape

quickly as players need to rush to

309

:

get the ball and get back into shape.

310

:

The FB goal number three.

311

:

This goal came in the 73rd minute taken

by a corner on the left hand side for the

312

:

SW given by a deflection from Substitute

Christ Baumgartner, who put a block in.

313

:

The corner came from Angel Stiller,

essentially into the goal area.

314

:

Walter Ma met the ball and headed towards

the far post, and it was deflected

315

:

back into play for Jamie leveling

to poke it home from the goal line.

316

:

At first glance, it looked like as

if he was offside, as there was a

317

:

lengthy VA delay before officials Finn

Linsky, who had a horrid game pointed

318

:

to the center circle to restart play.

319

:

Now, how could we have prevented this one?

320

:

Just reading the ball better is the

only real way to prevent these goals

321

:

as unfortunately, forwards normally

have better reactions than defenders

322

:

and Martine Vanderbilt could have made

a better attempt than the par he did.

323

:

There is no issue in giving

away the corner as Bowie did.

324

:

Well to get the block in.

325

:

We just simply needed to fence

set pieces better, something we

326

:

haven't been able to do all season.

327

:

Now for a suspension

and injury list update.

328

:

Peter Gcio has recovered from

a stomach bug and is available.

329

:

Kevin Campbell Infection is

a doubt for Saturday's game.

330

:

Who will be tested during the week

before a selection call is made?

331

:

As O Drago has left thigh muscle injury

with tendon damage is making good

332

:

progress and should rejoin parts of the

team training by the end of this week.

333

:

Antonio Noosa with his knee

is back on the pitch but is

334

:

training individually for now.

335

:

Xavier Schlager suffered an injury to

his left thigh while on international

336

:

duty with Austria and is set for

another spell on the sidelines.

337

:

And Benjamin Henricks torn Achilles tendon

is working on his comeback in lab Zig,

338

:

but we won't see him until next season.

339

:

And now to preview the TSG Hoffenheim

game, you could say this battle

340

:

is of energy drink versus computer

software, or at least the general

341

:

Bundes League at Republic would be.

342

:

TSG have been pulled this season,

currently sitting in 14th of the

343

:

27 games with six wins, nine draws,

and 12 losses with 27 points.

344

:

You could say the same for RBL who are

sitting sixth position after 27 games.

345

:

Below their expectations with 11

wins, nine draws and seven losses

346

:

making a total of 42 points.

347

:

TSG are traveling better than

RBL on recent form collecting one

348

:

extra point than RBL in the past.

349

:

Games with six, but under a new manager

with a different approach where you could

350

:

see the tables turn in favor of Bullen

who would be wanting redemption for their

351

:

reverse fixture result of four three.

352

:

TSG will be without Adam Ze

Alexander prs, Christopher Lens Dardi

353

:

Krisha Pommel Les Bibo and Ozan ak.

354

:

Some interesting match facts leading

into this game are both sides have scored

355

:

four goals in their last five matches.

356

:

RBL have kept the most clean

sheets in the competition with 13.

357

:

And play a watch for both sides

will be for RBL Willie All Ban.

358

:

The RBL Captain has had a fantastic

season so far and now with a change of

359

:

manager it'll be up to Willie to lead

from the front as he so often does and

360

:

rally the lads around the new manager

until the end of the season to go for a

361

:

push to get back into that top four you

for Champions League qualification spot.

362

:

And for TSG Hoffenheim, Tom Bischoff

leaving on a free at the end of the

363

:

season to record champions by Munich.

364

:

Will he show his new club

if he's a good starter?

365

:

The young man has been playing

very well of late and is only

366

:

increasing his price tag.

367

:

What I'd like to see in this match

with my lineup, more of the same.

368

:

Attacking football will take our

chances as creating chances and

369

:

having possession of the ball

is only nine tenths of the law.

370

:

You need to finish those chances,

starting lineup with a 4, 4, 2

371

:

flat, which is what used in the cup.

372

:

Vanderbilt starts in goal.

373

:

Replacing him too early

went to his confidence.

374

:

So good.

375

:

A back four of Leber on the left

replacing David Round who was horrid.

376

:

Be Shaer and Orban hold the

central defense with Keytruda.

377

:

On the right in the midfield fall, we

have Baum Gardner on the left replacing

378

:

Chavy Simmons, who was also poor.

379

:

Iara gains a start in place of Siwa

and and Kovi on the right hand side.

380

:

Replacing right or Baku upfront,

Benjamin Sesco and Louis Pender.

381

:

Is normally the two upfront, but

Louis Pender is replaced for this one

382

:

with Yusef Sson who gains a start.

383

:

These are some big calls,

but they should be made

384

:

for predictions.

385

:

Three, one win if we can take our chances.

386

:

Otherwise, a one, one draw.

387

:

We should be winning.

388

:

This TSG are not a great side

defensively, and we should be able

389

:

to create plenty of chances and

win it in front of the home fans.

390

:

398

:

I'll start with the member submission

first and Claude j posted on

399

:

the RB fans Discord they said.

400

:

I'm sad for the loss, but what I saw,

the attitude keeps me optimistic.

401

:

Whatever happens the next seven games

will be for the best, I think, be it

402

:

a UCL qualification, so the big name

stays, and the team as a whole gets

403

:

better playing together, or it's a

renewal of the workforce, but then

404

:

probably with a much stricter course

of action, going back to the roots.

405

:

We definitely saw a lot better performance

with RBL under the new interim manager.

406

:

I did think the attitude was

better as Claude is pronounced and.

407

:

I do think that the next seven

games could be absolutely anything.

408

:

We could completely miss out on Europe.

409

:

We could get our top four European

Champions League qualification spot, and

410

:

the players big name players can stay.

411

:

But personally on my end, I hope that we

don't get the Champions League football.

412

:

I do also wanna see some of the players

stay, but then if we could sell on

413

:

some of our big players, for instance.

414

:

Benjamin Sesco, Chavy Simmons, and

maybe some others, you could start

415

:

buying other players and building

the team from the ground up as we are

416

:

desperately lacking, at least squad depth

and, but whatever happens, regardless,

417

:

we are gonna need to have some sort

of investment in the next break.

418

:

Also from the RB fans Discord.

419

:

Cyril says, let's not

even make the top four.

420

:

Don't know if we can anyway.

421

:

We'll be we'll kicking the balls for

management and give them a greater

422

:

impetus to rebuild this squad.

423

:

Yeah, see where you come from.

424

:

Cyril.

425

:

If we don't make top four, they really

are gonna have to build a squad.

426

:

And like I just mentioned, we're

gonna end up selling a few players,

427

:

so we will have some funds to do so.

428

:

However, attracting some players

is gonna be difficult 'cause.

429

:

Everyone wants to play Champions League

football, and that's the one thing

430

:

that we've always had over other teams

is that you could be a young player,

431

:

think Chubby Simmons or Costa and

Kovich, and your team could be playing

432

:

in the Champions League from PSG and

Aston Villa, but they weren't starters.

433

:

But at RP Loeb Zg, you're going to be

a guaranteed starter or close to it.

434

:

You'll at least be able to

play in the Champions League

435

:

and get a lot more minutes.

436

:

So it'll be very interesting to

see, and me personally, I wanna

437

:

see how this club management

works if we don't make top four.

438

:

I'm not saying that that's

what I want in a sense.

439

:

I just would like to see some more effort

put in and more cal signings instead of

440

:

just blowing money on certain players that

I don't think are worth that price tag.

441

:

Next one's over on X.

442

:

Rick Rudolph with at RIH Rudolph says,

disappointed like the last five months.

443

:

What more can you say at this point?

444

:

Yeah, I understand your frustrations

there and it is disappointing to

445

:

bow out in a semi-final, especially

in a cup when you're only just two

446

:

wins away from winning it or even

just the one to get into the final.

447

:

It is disappointing.

448

:

I'll give you that, but things are

starting to look better, although

449

:

they won't happen overnight.

450

:

And RL nine Louis fan on Instagram

said if this was a bunes Liga defeat,

451

:

I wouldn't mind it that much, but

this is a cup match and I had hoped to

452

:

win the cup, but we are knocked out.

453

:

Improvement is there in attack.

454

:

We played better yesterday,

but we couldn't convert

455

:

our chances more than once.

456

:

We also keep conceding from free

kicks and corners, which is a

457

:

big problem that we must improve.

458

:

I hope we see better on Saturday

against TS g Hoffenheim, A ML lab.

459

:

Zig in lab zg.

460

:

I understand where you're coming from

there saying you wouldn't mind it that

461

:

much if it was a bunes leg of defeat,

but I think what you mean by that, I

462

:

think it just hurts that little bit.

463

:

As you looked at our opponents, Stuttgart

weren't traveling very well and am in

464

:

your biofield or a third tier side, so.

465

:

Theoretically speaking, we should

have been able to beat both teams.

466

:

We should have won in the semi-final.

467

:

Even though playing Stu Gut and in Stu

Gut is not no walk in the park by any

468

:

means, and they're no easy beats, but they

certainly weren't playing up standard.

469

:

That being said, it's sort of good that

we don't have to worry about the d fp Pau.

470

:

We can just fully focus on the bunga.

471

:

And I know you won't have to worry

about focusing on it till the back

472

:

end of May, but you've still gotta

think about getting into that game and

473

:

winning that trophy as, although many a

biofield have played so well this season.

474

:

If you were to get in it and

losing gets a third tier side,

475

:

it's sort of an embarrassment.

476

:

I see what you mean.

477

:

Thereby there is improvement in attack.

478

:

Definitely saw that and you can obviously

see that we are conceding too many free

479

:

kicks and corners, or at least conceding

goals from those three kicks and corners.

480

:

Which is a big problem, but this is

something that won't improve overnight.

481

:

This is something that's going

to improve over the off season

482

:

and the start of next season.

483

:

I'm afraid.

484

:

As mentioned earlier from another

submission, there's only seven games left,

485

:

but I do believe that we will be better

against TSU Hoffenheim on Saturday.

486

:
