The Bundesliga is back on the Going Deutsch podcast! Julian Schuster becomes Alex's favourite manager as his Freiburg side win 3-1 against Stuttgart, Vincent Kompany has a rollercoaster debut in the league as Bayern win 3-2 against Wolfsburg, and Jamie Gittens scores two as Dortmund win on the opening day for the tenth season in a row. In the Zweite, a back-and-fourth game between Karlsruher and Elversberg sees the former win 3-2, HSV fans are in crisis as their side loses 1-0 to Hannover, and Düsseldorf score twice in as many minutes to win 2-1 away at Ulm. Also on the pod, which manager is very good at shouting, which player was dropped by their agent, a masterclass in passive-aggression, and why inflation has hit Fantasy Bundesliga.
This week's episode is dedicated to Christoph Daum and Sven-Göran Eriksson who both passed away this week. I hope you join me in sending your thoughts to the friends and families of both during this difficult time.
