Um, this was a game where Leverkusen took the lead.

Um, a, uh, yeah, a long ball, uh, from Tapsoba s- you know, finds Kufona.

Um, does, does really well, actually.

Nice turn back in against Matt Seimer and, and was able to play it past Da-, uh, Dahmen in net.

Um, a- after their, yeah, um, shock defeat to Elversberg, um, on, on opening weekend, uh, they've got a lot thinking to be doing, uh, in around that defense.

Who, who starts in, in certainly the center back positions presumably Captain Tapsoba keeps his position one would imagine, and, and, you know, um, the head coach keeps his faith in that.

But maybe we'll see one of the other, um, center half options come in for Baade', uh, like Medina or, or Kwanzaa.

Um, and then yeah, beyond that pff, up top you've got You've got those options and, and goals with Paddy Schick and, and the talent of, of Maaza and Tillman.

Then you have the likes of Petkov, who played for Augsburg before, who scored the opening goal.

But these are players that have had to build themselves up from lower down the leagues, and now a statement 3-0 and a catastrophic result, regardless of how strong that performance was from Elversberg for Leverkusen, who, yes, are going through somewhat of a rebuild, but at the same time, you look at that team, the likes of Amaza, Tillman, you have the experience of the Schick and the Flecken, Tapsoba, lose 3-0 to Elversberg, not good enough for them, But wow, what a story.

We mentioned Ellensberg in terms of their historic victories.

aged very bravely, played aggressively.

We saw that on the second goal in which they forced Tapsoba to make a mistake.

Paderborn play away to Mainz.

I think the goals of, of Pabi Schick will always get them very far, um, alongside the talents of, of Openda and Mazraoui and the fact that they're getting Moussa Diaby back, um, from, from a Saudi club, which is, um, yeah, I think that's okay business as well.

Um, I like the move to, uh, to, you know, for Tapsoba to be captain, a younger captain, um, you know, which I think is a nice move overall.

Replacing Grimaldo is, is tricky, but you know, these two left-sided players, they have to do something hopefully.

Um, and obviously, you know, new management as well, uh, under, uh, Charles Martinez.

That's it, Cruzeiro.

So we might be looking at him, alongside Edmond Tapsoba.

And we are also looking at Gleison Bremer, alongside, uh, some other, some other...

We've got a lot to talk about tonight.

A 6'4", fast, strong and technical center back is what we need." Well, this is the story, Jo- uh, Kate.

So today we are linked with him again.

We are linked with Edmond Tapsoba, who's that monster from Leverkusen.

He's 27.
