Bayer – the shape of the team and its analysis: the strongest season in history comes to an end
“The Pharmacists” aren’t going on vacation yet. They have a busy next week ahead, with two finals. First, on Wednesday, Xabi Alonso’s wards will compete for the Europa League and then, at the weekend, for the national cup. Speaking about the Bundesliga, the team has long celebrated its first ever championship. That didn’t stop it from defeating Eintracht with a 5-1 score and Bochum with a 5-0 result in Frankfurt.
Augsburg – the shape of the team and its analysis: the performance declined at a key moment
“The Fuggerstädter” have certainly improved its performance since Thorup appeared as a coach. Only being under his leadership, the team, which had become accustomed to hanging out above the relegation zone, managed to become a real contender for 7th, European tournament place. Still, successful periods alternate with failures, and the club began to lose to everyone, not only Borussia Dortmund, but also Eintracht and Werder from the end of April (moreover, it also conceded a lot). Speaking about the struggle with Stuttgart, there was 1 goal scored by the opponents, but the team couldn’t make a reply.
