Description
Welcome to Eurotales football podcast, every club, league & fanbase has a story to tell and we aim to tell it. This week we are joined by Bundesliga expert Rune Gjerulff Petersen (Twitter - @runegjerulff) founder of premier German football website Bullinews.com There is a side causing quite the stir amongst the juggernauts of the Bundesliga, after eight games little old Stuttgart are sitting in second place, just one point behind the much-lauded Bayer Leverkusen under the stewardship of Xabi Alonso. To put this remarkable rise into perspective, Stuttgart only survived in the Bundesliga last season by the skin of their teeth via a relegation playoff. But today, those troubles seem so far away, as at the weekend their 3-0 demolition away to Union Berlin singled their sixth Bundesliga win on the trot.  It is their best start in their history and one of the best starts to a season in the entire history of the Bundesliga.  Rune takes on a deep dive highlighting the players behind this evolution and provides insight on a rookie manager in Sebastian Hoeneß who is turning heads after just afew months at the helm.  Follow us on twitter - @Eurotalespod Subscribe to our free Ligue 1 Newsletter - A New Dawn for OGC Nice: From Summer Struggles to Top Ligue 1 Defence (substack.com)
