Bundesliga catch-up w/ Manuel Veth: Xabi Alonso's managerial influences, Bayern's squad depth, strong starts for Hoffenheim and Stuttgart, and much much more!

Our old pal returns! Manuel Veth of Transfermarkt and the Gegenpressing podcast is back on the program after an extended hiatus to catch us up on all-things Bundesliga! We start off with a little chat about the NFL in Germany, before turning out attention to Bayern's strong performances up top masking issues further back. After that, there's time for Leverkusen's excellent start and Xabi Alonso's impressive list of managerial influences, Hoffenheim's resurgence under Matarazzo, Frankfurt and Leipzig building steam but still needing more parts, struggletimes for Union Berlin and Mainz, and much much more! --- Today's show is brought to you by...
