In this piece, I will take a look at three players that have made their mark in the Bundesliga at the midway point of the season, aside from the obvious …
Florian Wirtz
Wirtz arrived on the scene during the Pandemic when German football was the first to return to our screens. His potential was clear then and he’s on course for the most goal contributions he’s ever had in a season; already racking up 7 assists and 5 goals.
Wirtz is an all-rounder as an attacker. He can unlock a defence with a laser-precise pass, he can arrive on the scene at the right time in the box to complete a move with a finish, and he can also weave his way forward past into threatening positions with his bag of tricks in his dribbling toolkit.
Gregor Kobel
Kobel’s dynamic shot-stopping ability has helped him prevent 6.7x more goals than expected this year for Dortmund.
His composure from close range shots is formidable, positioning his body, so that he’s in the right angle to act as a firm line of last defence.
Jonathan Tah
Tah’s only conceded 12 goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances. Utilising his tall frame with a high footballing IQ, he is able to stand up strikers and nick the ball away from danger, time and time again.
He’s regained his regular spot for the German national side, attracted transfer interest from top Premier League sides and helped guide his Leverkusen team to top of the table.
