Bavarian Podcast Works S7E48: Leon Goretzka will play a key role for Germany; Julian Nagelsmann almost moved back to Bayern Munich (!?); Should Bayern wait to splurge until next summer; Lamenting cautionary tales of failure; and MORE!

On this episode, we take a look at SC Freiburg who are currently 8th in the Bundesliga with a 6-5-4 record and 23 points. Today, Jake & Tom touch on two final points from the loss to Holstein Kiel (seriously, lay off Marc Roca) and discuss what Hansi Flick & Co. can do to prevent further defensive collapses. Then, we touch on what we can expect from Freiburg, how their midfield will be tough to deal with, and how the always creative Christian Streich may line his squad up against a reeling Bayern team. As always, thank you for listening!
