ECHO BUNDESLIGY: 0:3 Leverkusen would not be able to catch up. Cvanchara is back

“Fantastic match between first and third at a great pace. The teams that play the best and most beautiful football this season met. Stuttgart led 2-0 and came closest to handing Leverkusen their first defeat of the season. Striker Serhou Guirassa had a 100% chance, he could have made it 3-0, and I don’t think Leverkusen could do that anymore. But he didn’t. The turning point of the match, as Stuttgart did not hold the ball in front from then on.

Leverkusen was dominant and equalized again in set-up. Incredibly. I’m curious to see how they go next. You can see how much joy they have in the players. Only respect and admiration for me. Until the end of the league, they have matches in Frankfurt, Bochum and at home with Augsburg. However, there is no need to look at the opponent. The league is extremely balanced. Consider that Bochum is 15th and playing for their lives. Moreover, Leverkusen fell there at the end of last season. The advantage is still the possibility of a large rotation and the fact that whoever starts is dangerous. Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface, Florian Wirtz did not play at the weekend. For the first time, they started without the carded Granit Xhaka, who will return hungry.

Another hit of the weekend was Leipzig’s clash with Dortmund (4:1). Great match again. The visitors also had a decent first half, both teams were active, but after the break the home team made it 3:1 and it was over. Leipzig could easily score six goals, but the win counts. From the fourth place, he has five points ahead of the fifth-placed Borussia with three rounds to go, and I think that the elite quartet has been decided.

Dortmund have to keep their fingers crossed for all the teams in the European Cups, including themselves, for Germany to claim another place in the Champions League. I believe it will succeed. Already on Tuesday, Bayern will start in the most prestigious competition at home against Real, Dortmund will welcome PSG on Wednesday and Leverkusen will start the semi-finals of the Europa League at AS Rome on Thursday.

It’s all even, although Real and PSG seem to be slight favourites. However, I also argued that Bayern would not get past Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Dortmund has performances like on a swing, but managed to knock out a difficult opponent Atlético. I don’t want to tip at all, they are all great and experienced teams. Bayern seem to be getting comfortable, even though Uli Hoeness has criticized Thomas Tuchel for not developing players. Perhaps unnecessary before the important final part of the year.

Before we go down the table, let’s focus on two Czech names. Václav Černý is having a hard time, after the change of coach I thought he would get more chances. However, coach Ralph Hasenhuttl mainly advocated defensive work and compactness so that Wolfsburg did not score goals. They won important points, so hopefully Vašek will get back into the game more. He was also missing with regard to the birth of his daughter, I still think he has something to give to the team, as well as the national team.

After a long time caused by injury, Tomáš Čvančara stepped into the base of Mönchengladbach. A draw with Union, a dull match without much chance. I would also like Tomáš to get more minutes, although in comparison the probability is greater with Černý. It would be nice if they showed their skills and gave national team coach Ivan Hašek a reason to think about them heading into the Euros.

Let’s move to the bottom of the table, where Darmstadt are the first certain to be relegated after losing 0-1 to Heidenheim. In the context of the whole season, I have to say that deservedly so. They have had a long spell without a win, the current 17 points from 31 rounds is just awfully low. Now we are just waiting to see who will join Darmstadt. It looks like Kolín, which is currently second to last and five points behind Mainz in the 16th play-off place.

They had a great chance to do something more with it over the weekend. They presented themselves on the grounds of Mainz, but they really took the last 10 minutes. In addition, they gave only one of two penalties in the match. The 1:1 draw put them in a very difficult situation, they must not hesitate anymore. I don’t really believe that he will get out of the relegation zone. The battle to avoid a tie between Mainz, Bochum, Union and Gladbach will be far more interesting. All units are at four points.’
