Going Deutsch

Hello, it's me Xabi Alonso, the Going Deutsch podcast is really great and this episode was amazing: Alex discusses my Bayer Leverkusen side beating Darmstadt 2-0 thanks to a great performance from Nathan Tella, Köln's surprising 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, and Deniz Undav putting in another great performance as Stuttgart beat Freiburg 3-1. In the Zweite: St. Pauli win in the top-of-the-table clash with Greuther Fürth, there are seven goals in the game between Paderborn and Fortuna Düsseldorf, and 61,000 fans help Schalke get over the line against Paderborn. Also on the pod: how Hertha tried to get fans to stop protesting, a player who could be arrested, and the Bundesliga based scam that may or may not be affecting people in Thailand.

Overall it's a wonderful episode and I know Harry Kane agrees, here he is now.

Hi it's me Harry Kane, I play for Bayern, Going Deutsch is great.
