● Rolfes’ analysis of the fall 2022 crisis identified every weakness of his team and led to the cut.
● The head of the Carro club (in office since 2018) is a seer. He talked about the title on BILD TV in 2022.
● Alonso’s hunger for titles: 18 professional titles (including world champion, European champion, Champions League winner) – now champion as a manager?
● Florian Wirtz is even better than before the cruciate ligament rupture. One reason: he was chosen by the national coach Nagelsmann.
Really in great shape: Florian Wirtz. The international player has contributed 16 goals in 17 matches so far this season
● The red cross on the new black home shirt (of Bayer Cross) was created on the initiative of the fans.
