Bayern Outraged by VAR Drama! Why Undav Won't Start for Germany? Kovac Changes Tactics!
The Fussball ChannelShow Notes
In Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich, VAR was at the centre of it all. From red cards and dives to disallowed goals, Bayern's frustrations were... significant. Former Germany international Didi Hamann strongly criticised the system, arguing that VAR has taken away the emotional moments that define the game. Markus and Jan discuss, and why Bayern are OUTRAGED. Stuttgart’s win over RB Leipzig means Deniz Undav continued his scoring run. So why exactly will he not be starting for Germany? Dortmund’s tactical shift under Niko Kovač meant Guirassy was benched, RB Leipzig’s signing of Rocco Reitz from Borussia Mönchengladbach has attracted headlines, and the debate around Julian Brandt potentially returning to Bayer Leverkusen has split Carro and Rolfes. Also, there was a pigeon at the Bremen game Jan can't get enough of.
