Bundesliga prelude: Where is Bavaria?
That has probably never existed in this form: At the beginning of the 59th Bundesliga season, only six coaches will be at the sideline, which are already launched with their respective teams in the past season. In addition to Unions Urs Fischer, Stuttgarts Pellegrino Matarrazo, Freiburg Christian Streich and Hoffenheim Sebastian Hoeneß are still Thomas Rice and Stefan Leitl from the two risers Bochum and Fürth added. All others are new or have been installed over the past season.
Plea rewards Gladbach early, summer loses once against Lewandowski
Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern opened the 59th season with a fun 1: 1 draw. The Borussen went on Friday evening after a sweeping initial phase deserved by Plea in front - the Bayern defensive acted initially very holey. With increasing playing time, the Munich, however, became more pressureful, and the Gladbacher had to rely more and more on their goalkeeper summer. Only following a Kimmich corner, the Swiss keeper against Lewandowski had the look. Also in half two summer had initially done to do a difficult time before the Borussians had the victory in the chances of Stindl and Joker Thuram. In the final phase, Bayern then had luck with two tricky penalty scenes, that the penalty whistle had left.
BVB wants more - Leipzig hopes on Goals of Silva
For with that he would at least in the big five European leagues sole leader, after Juventus Turin in Italy was replaced by Inter Milan in the past season after nine titles. But the national competitors also wit their chance to push the Bayern again from the throne since 2013. Even industry internal is expected with an exciting championship race as the last few years. Above all, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund see themselves as a hunter. Although the Dortmund with Jadon Sancho lost a world-class player, but with Donyell painted a prominent name. Like the Bayern, BVB experienced a bumpy preparation. In addition to injuries, especially Corona cases in the team for excitement, the new coach Marco Rose had to fill his squad with junior players.
No good conditions, but at the mandatory game start convinced the BVB in the cup, the hurdle Wiesbaden was easily skipped with 3: 0 and loose. Especially Haaland worked right away, the Norwegian has rescued his sheer inexhaustible torthunger in the new season. Captain Reus announced already to want more than in the preseason.

Goals hopes Leipzig in the new season especially from André Silva. The Portuguese scored 28 goals in the past season - only Bavaria's Robert Lewandowski was better with his Bundesliga record of 41 goals. So Leipzig gets a real clipper in his rows - and thus the last mosaic stone on the way to the first major national title? After all, the Saxons reached in the past season rank two as well as the trophy without real scorer. In addition, there is still Dominik Szoboszlai, which could not play a Bundesligamine for RB due to injury. A question mark is behind the best defensive last season (only 32 goals), which lost two support pillars with Upamecano and Ibrahima Kanoté.
Gladbach wants to go back to the international business - first scratches for van Bommel
In return to international business, after a disappointing season, Borussia Mönchengladbach again. Adi Hütter should lead the foals back to Europe. But the new coach has to fight with injury worries - and also in terms of squad still questions are open: remains Matthias Ginter or he is? For others like Denis Zakaria, the signs are on farewell.
And the possible contributors? The VfL Wolfsburg goes to its 25th Bundesliga season - of course, this should end successfully. A small scratch received the anniversary equal to the mandatory game opener with the interchangeable error in the trophy. But according to Boss Jörg Schmadtke no effect on the new coach Mark van Bommel should have. Nevertheless, the Dutch is already under observation.
Eintracht Frankfurt complains especially the departure of Silva, which lacks 28 goals. Luka Jovic could not be held, and now the jumping of Filip Kostic threatens. The Serb is chased by a number of clubs, last but also Lazio Rome should be entered into the race. The summer was relatively quiet for Bayer Leverkusen, which laid value on the defensive in the transfers. In contrast to Union Berlin, which obliged twelve new players - and for the first time the double burden through participation in the new Conference League has.
Fürth's goal: better than in 2012/13 - Bochum relies on unity
Of course, others, the Midfield of the League of the League, also squinted on the race for the international meat pots. This applies to the SC Freiburg, who already changed long in the last season, like the VfB Stuttgart, who wants to go another step. Or Hertha BSC with its financial possibilities. Or Hoffenheim, who wants to ray lighter after two as well as turbulent as gray years. But beware is offered how the examples of Schalke and Bremen show out of the preseason. The fact that both traditional clubs together with 110 years of Bundesliga experience now play in the 2nd league, it would probably have typed only the most longest annual period.
For the two newcomer VfL Bochum and Spvgg Greuther Fürth, on the other hand, it is only against the descent. Above all, the shamrock wants to perform better than the debut 2012/13. Without home win, at the end, the four-wind performance of the league history was at the end. However, after the climb some family forces left the Ronhof, including David Room (Hoffenheim) of the central best field players of the 2nd league in the past season.
Almost the same fate rose the VfL Bochum, who returned to Elf Saisons break back in the upper house: With Robert Zulj, the outstanding playmakers and absolute top scorers of the season 2020/21 left the area. Nevertheless, VfL had moderately growing and familiar to the unity that the association already awarded the club last year. Arminia Bielefeld is also likely to have a look at the lower table regions. The 1st FC Cologne and FC Augsburg would like to leave behind them. While the new coach Steffen Baumgart has caused a mood at the Rhin countries, the Bavarian Swabians U-21 European Champion Niklas Dorsch is a worry-free season.
Corona Falls in Mainz - Viewers in all stages
The 2021/22 season will continue to stand by corona. Just before the first game on Sunday against Leipzig (15.30, live! At Thomas Rice), the 1st FSV Mainz 05 had to complain about Corona cases, but the game against the Saxons should not be in danger. But there are also joyous news in these pandemies: because when the curtain in Mönchengladbach raises the curtain in Mönchengladbach, 23,000 spectators are planned to be present in Borussia Park. Unlike in the previous year, viewers are also allowed in all stadiums, as a whole, the nine games with 148,711 spectators is calculated. Recently, the 1st FC Cologne brought a new aspect into the viewer question: The ceiling bats announced only vaccinated and genesis in the second home game.
