Eberl Out At Leipzig, Boateng Back In Munich And Xavi On Top

Dear listeners,

what a weekend! Contenders Leipzig and Bayern drew 2-2 after Tuchel dumbed down his tactical approach after falling behind 2-0 in the first half at Leipzig. Prior to this matchup, Red Bull director Oliver Mintzlaff fired Max Eberl for not being committed enough to the Red Bull philosophy and not spending enough time in Leipzig, thus making Eberl's return to his youth club Bayern München more and more likely. A career move that many have expected Eberl to make sooner or later.
While it is to be determined how much RB will miss Eberl, it is pretty obvious that Bayern are missing a centre-back which has given former Bayern leader Jerome Boateng an opportunity to come back out of quasi-retirement at 35 years of age to once again wear the red uniform.
In other news, BVB's leader Marco Reus doesn't look like he's ready to retire although he is 34 years old, having scored 3 goals in 4 matches, and helping BVB beat in form Hoffenheim.
Then, in a clash between Christoph's VfL Bochum and our producer Yorck's Borussia Mönchengladbach, Gladbach showed why they're better than their meager points total, by overwhelming hapless Bochum in the first half, taking a 3-0 lead which was flattering for Bochum's defense.
Tune in for all the other match reviews in this week's edition of Beer 'n' Honey!
