The 21st matchday: three double packers in the eleven of the match day

The eleven of the 21st Bundesliga match day is extremely dangerous: with Union striker Benedict Hollerbach, Bochum’s Myron Baodu and Bavaria’s Harry Kane, three double packers are at the start.

Tor – Lukas Hradecky (Bayer Leverkusen): Bayer’s captain was able to defuse all eight shots on his goal at 0-0 in Wolfsburg, twice from a short distance against Tomas (42nd). In the end, the goalkeeper also ensured that Leverkusenes series is now in 27 Bundesliga away games without defeat – even if it is too little in the title fight.

Defense – Kilian Fischer (VfL Wolfsburg): Fischer almost crowned a very dynamic appearance (11.2 kilometers, 36 sprints). But his cracker from 20 meters landed only on the crossbar (75th). Wolfsburg’s right-back was also very reliable defensive and did not burn anything against Bayer’s left wing tandem.

Defense – Denis Vavro (VfL Wolfsburg): Wolfsburg’s “energy monster” was omnipresent in the defense, so both Boniface also had a nice grip on both Boniface. With a strong positioning game, Vavro clarified many situations at an early stage, but was sometimes on hand with a tackle against Mukiele (90.+3).

Defense – Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich): One long ball after the other was “UPA” at 3-0 against Bremen, also Werder’s attempt to counter with the fast Njinmah, did not work against the speed of the central defender. Totally stable and without mistakes – no wonder that Bayern really want to extend with him.

Midfeld – Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich): Incredible 202 ball contacts, 12.75 kilometers mileage and a pass rate of 94.55 percent – a giant performance. Kimmich also had the redeeming idea with his long ball on Kane in front of the penalty. He always stopped the Werder attacks and played a great counterpressing

Midfeld – Florian Neuhaus (Borussia Mönchengladbach): It could have been his farewell idea – Besiktas Istanbul wants to borrow Neuhaus with a purchase option. But he left lasting impressions in the 1-1 win over Frankfurt: for the first time since March (!) In VfL starting eleven, the ex-international prepared the small service goal, boosted the offensive and also defensively won many important duels.

Midfield – Vincenzo Grifo (SC Freiburg): Without no attack, there were almost no attack that led to a conclusion: he was involved in incredible eight of nine Freiburg goal shots – and he also scored the goal of the day in the somewhat happy 1-0 against Heidenheim.

Midfield – Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig): Leipzig was enough for the victory against St. Leipzig – and Xavi and Benjamin Sesko were involved in both. Once Xavi served the center forward, who was considered to take a lead to Leipzig, and a little later the Dutch himself used a pass from his Slovenian colleague. Xavi was always playable, ran 11.5 kilometers, the only blemish was his loss of ball, which led to the red card of Willi Orban.

Attack – Benedict Hollerbach (Union Berlin): Hollerbach was the outstanding player in a strong Berlin team with two goals. At the 4-0 in Hoffenheim, he not only shone at the end, but also spent a mileage of almost 13 kilometers – outstanding!

Attack – Harry Kane (Bayern Munich): Was always there in the crucial scenes, even if he had left a thick thing after the 1-0. Good header at the end of the 1st half, slatted cracker at the beginning of the second – and also brought out the penalty. There was still special praise from coach Kompany because he had helped a lot in the back after the break.

Attack: Myron Boadu (VfL Bochum): Already at the 3: 3 against RB Leipzig, Boadu saved VfL Bochum a point with a lightning-hat trick. Against Holstein Kiel he was at least on the way there. Due to a double strike in 123 seconds, the striker only turned a 0: 1 into a 2: 1. But then he was slowly slowed down and contracted a muscle injury during a sprint. In the end, Bochum had to be satisfied with a 2-2 – who knows what would have happened to Boadu on the pitch.
