Franz Beckenbauer Supercup

And he's now seemingly got his fantastic chemistry with URC up front.

I mean, his story is remarkable because when I was at the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, the big story was that Dortmund were still looking to sell him and would have quite happily sold him.

And, you know, he scored at that game and didn't find anyone to buy him.

And then the two Greek guys get hurt.

Now, we spoke on OTC before about how they, they're getting a lot of, uh, media and especially social media weight behind him and hi- his push, at least partly because they're renegotiating a new contract with him.

And of course, he told us in that interview at the end of the, the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup at the start of the season that, uh, "I'm really feeling the love at the moment." And I think that he feels that is important when they're trying to get him to sign a new deal, and it feels like a formality that he will sign that new deal.

Of course, his current one is, is out of, uh, expiry's at, at, at the end of the season.

So the, the, they're obviously following the release of the, the nominees.

It's a magnificent showing for Harry Kane in the Champions League.

You can go to the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, one appearance, one goal from last season.

So overall for Bayern Munich, 51 appearances, 61 goals, seven assists, just incredible numbers.

Just based on numbers alone, that makes a very significant case.

And FC Barcelona winning the...

La Liga title, Copa del Rey.

I'm excluding, again, Super Cups on all this, even though the Spanish Super Cup is a little bit more involved than, say, the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup with the format.

Anyway, Yamal was also a key player for Spain during the World Cup.

Because it was really sad.

Constantinias with that injury after starting so well, both in the German Super Cup against Bayern and then in the league and then having that really bad injury.

So it's 11 for Konstantinos Karatsas, who is the other Greek they signed this summer.

18-year-old from Genk, outstanding.

When do we start talking about him as well? Considering now that's 135 minutes of Bundesliga football without a goal.

Didn't score on the Franz Beckenbauer Cup either.

Scored in the Pokal against Osnabrück.

But...

They beat Stuttgart 5-1.

They beat Dortmund in the Super Cup.

DFL Super Cup 2-1.

So they've had some, like...

It's been easy going thus far.

Yeah, there's a beautiful German saying, Werte schaffen, to create value, right? And I think that's something that Ole Bock says over and over again.

I briefly spoke to him at the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup.

And, you know, that's something that he's pointed out.

Dortmund, HSV, Hamburger, SV.

I was in Dortmund just last weekend for the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup.

Yeah, it's...

Dortmund, I still feel like they're not 100% complete yet.

And then, of course, at Dortmund, you have the two Greeks, Konstantinias, Karetsas, Joey Fairman.

I'm really curious to see if he is getting a start.

He didn't start in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup.

This is a crucial game for Dortmund.

And of course, there's also Alphonso Davies getting back into action.

Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup.

And Luc de Fougereau also seems to be sticking with Fulham for the Premier League season because he made a bench for the first time in their opening weekend loss to Chelsea.

What do you see from these two players on the Canadian backline this season? Because, of course, Davies has to contend for his spot now with Bayern and he didn't start that game.

Uh, 17 trophies is literally wild.

But it was the German Super Cup.

They beat Borussia Dortmund, uh, in that preseason kind of fixture.

I know that the Super Cups do count, but they still feel kinda like that part of the preseason.

But regardless, Alphonso Davies, 17 trophies with Bayern Munich.

I'm not sure many of us would've expected that when he first signed from the Vancouver Whitecaps, and he would play such an integral part in the majority of those trophies.
