Description

Going Deutsch returns for 2024 with a look at the first Bundesliga fixtures of the new year: Bayer Leverkusen leave it late to win 1-0 against Augsburg, Bayern Munich round off an emotional start to the month with a 3-0 win against Hoffenheim, and Borussia Mönchengladbach get the surprise of the round with a 3-1 win against Stuttgart. There's news from around Germany as Timo Schultz becomes the new Köln manager, a familiar face returns to Dortmund and an older familiar face returns to Schalke. Also on the pod: the importance of listening to the crowd, a sad physio, an a memorable line from Köln's sporting director.

This podcast is dedicated to Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away earlier this month aged 78. Rest in Peace.
