They are losers and gluttons for punishment. I wouldn't be surprised if you qualify ahead of them.


Meanwhile, this is getting tough to watch.

Assist by Perisic (C)

Pavard is the Coutinho of defenders

Honestly they don’t have any significant weaknesses in the first team but as Hans said they are prone to bottling it when it matters. I think a tactical masterclass from Conte where Inter defend deep and counter can undo them.

[Robespierre]

ALABAAAAAAAAAA WHAT A BEAUTY

[Hapless_Hans]

Yes. They have a great squad, but I don't think BVB will be able to deal with the presence, consistency, and ruthlessness of a Conte team.

[Robespierre]

so are they good also defensively?
German teams (except for Bayern that is often a complete team) are usually fereable for intenxity and their attack but less about defense ( I mean, Leverkusen should be a similar thing)
I' ve seen Borussia 've signed also Hummels though

[Hapless_Hans]

Perisic in a Bayern shirt is just wrong, I'm sorry. It's not right.

[Hapless_Hans]

and he scores

WELCOME TO MÜNCHEN

They're pretty solid in defense, their central defenders are fantastic (Hummels is of course one of the best defenders of recent memory, and the youngsters are awesome), their fullbacks have always been their problem, but they solidified left back now with Schulz, who is kind of good
Pisczek was still starting, Hakimi is an impressive player but apparently not so solid defensively.

It's no comparison to Leverkusen really, because of coaches. Bosz isn't at BVB anymore, he's at Leverkusen lol, and Favre hates conceding goals while Bosz apparently loves it.

Their fullbacks attack a lot, especially if Hakimi plays at RB so you could say they are susceptible on the wings, I reckon Conte is going to play Lukaku on right side to have a field day with Schulz on the left side who is a very good attacking LB but tends to abandon his defensive duties somewhat. Hakimi is basically a winger pretending to be a RB so if you have someone as good on the left side I’d say attack them from the wings and you can harm them.

[Hapless_Hans]

Finally, players I actually like

Phonzie and Müller on for Perisic and Coutinho

[Firenze]

wish we had an elite manager like Niko

Bayern are blessed

[Hapless_Hans]

Union Berlin: Gikiewicz – Trimmel, Friedrich, Subotic, Lenz – Schmiedebach, Andrich – Becker, Bülter – Ujah, Andersson
Bank: Nicolas, Ryerson, Mees, Polter, Gogia, Abdullahi, Kroos, Parensen, Gentner

Borussia Dortmund: Bürki – Piszczek, Akanji, Hummels, Hakimi – Weigl, Delaney – Sancho, Reus, Brandt – Alcacer
Bank: Hitz, Zagadou, Schmelzer, Schulz, Guerreiro, Bruun Larsen, Dahoud, Wolf, Götze

Union will get smashed to pieces starting in five minutes

[Robespierre]

TOOOOOOORRRRRRR

[Robespierre]

It was not corner kick IMO

[Arquitecto]

Robes scouting Dortmund and reading the opinions and hoping to hear of their weaknesses of the well informed Urbi & Hans on the Germans is somehow so adorable especially given they will tear a hole in Inter whilst Conte stands on the sidelines pulling at his Toupee.

[Doc]

Where could Inter do them harm , I mean

Nowhere as Inter would probably lose both ties

[Robespierre]

We are the first club of Berlin
Berlin is Red
WATTBA

No.
We 'll be knocked out because of Slavia Praha.

[Robespierre]

Seriously, how it's happened?

I've watched just first half and Borussia were in control of the situaiton . Then I fell asleep ( no correlation , I swear it, I like the league )

[urbaNRoots]

After all that hype lmao!

[Hapless_Hans]

Denn ich liebe mein' Verein und ich bin stolz auf ihn,
FC Union aus Berliiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
