[Applause] [Music] What does that make you? [Music] [Applause] Mr. [Music] Oh, welcome one and all to our live coverage of Bayernia Leakuzen versus Pisa SC of Tuskini, Italy. It’s a beautiful evening for for football. Conditions are perfect in the Bay Arena. And you join us as the full team is being presented. This the season opener here in the Bay Arena. A first home game. The preseason friendlies continue. And Eric Tenhog. It’s a new look by an OIA. [Music] Well, so far the preseason preparations have taken Delf over to Brazil. It was a trip that was enjoyed by all and it was a younger side that faced Flamingo’s under 20s. All sambar that day as Flamingo run out 5-1 winners. We see the lineup for today on your screen there. Mark Fleen in goal. And then it’s going to be a back three in Capier, Tapsoba and Axel Tappe as well. We should see four in the midfield. Art to Palasios, Robert Andrich and Grimaldo. And then up top, two youngsters, two 19year-olds. Ibrahim Masa on the right hand side, Nathan Tella on the left. And it’s a first start for Christian Kofane as well. The Cameroon’s 19year-old big opportunity for him today to impress came off the bench last time as Bernier got the win against Fortuna Sitard. [Music] And as ever the himna before the start of the game. [Applause] [Music] We are multif. is [Music] you feel [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to me [Music] I [Music] see the lineup for Pisa as well on your screen there. Couple of changes for the new pro, newly promoted Pisa. Alexander Lint coming in up top and also in the center of the park number six Marius Marlin. He’s up got a win against Empily last time 3-2 and a new trainer Alberto Giladino. St. Pisa do arrive in the Bay Arena with a wind in their sails. Filippo Enzagi guided them back to the Syria after 34 year absence. He’s now moved on to Palemo. Alertino Giladinho taken over. [Music] [Applause] [Music] They definitely possess the ability to test by an Oria today. One to watch out for as well the number 10 Mateo Traon. He was their top scorer last season. Got 13 goals. Also followed by Alexander Lind who starts up top for Pisa today. He got eight. Stephano Morio also on seven. [Music] and Bayernia back to business. Back in Europe, they’ve beaten VFL Bacham 2-0. That was away from home. Jonas Hoffman and Patrick Schik on target in the first half that day. Patrick Schik, by the way, signing a new contract that will keep him with the club until 2030. So great news there for Bayern Oria. It’s quite the rebuild. They’re going through a new cycle, a new era, so to speak. And we are underway here in the Bay Arena. Final fear in the black and red. Shooting from left to right. Pea from Tuscany in Italy in the yellow. They do normally play in black and blue. The Neta Aduri they’re called. We’re hoping it won’t be a bruising encounter today. Eric Tanhog will be happy to start the new season with a fully fit squad. A big moment here as well from the player wearing number 35 Christian Kane the 19year-old. It’s a real blend of youth and experience as Erin Tenhag has brought in a lot of youngsters, a lot of new signings and of course alongside the likes of Axel Tappe in defense today. Edund taps over. Pier in capier. Grimmaldo sends the ball forwards there. Intercepted. It’s one back high up the pitch. First shooting opportunity. Good block on the edge of the box there. Breaks away and goes out of play. But first half chance there for the home side. Pa captain today by their stalwart defender Antonio Kachiolo. The number four in the center of Pisa’s defense. It’s a back three. Simona Canestrelli. Matas Muziardi as well of Brazil playing at left back. [Applause] Early pressure high up the pitch. It’s almost one back but Pisa play through the press. Possession one back with Capier tries his luck from distance. took a ricochet and took the power out of it. Adrian Schmper of Croatia in goal for Pisa can easily collect that one. [Music] Challenge from behind is penalized. Awarded free kick for PA. taps over quickly to his man there. Again, Bay Fear win it back in the center of the park. It’s out to the left hand side. Options in the middle and it’s out for a goal kick. Nathan Teller there popping up on the left wing. Ibrahim Maza on the right. Well, in the end it’s a free kick. Grimmaldo. Well, he’s an absolute pleasure to watch every time we see Bayern Oria. Alex Graldo absolutely lethal from a dead ball situation. Opportunity to here to deliver the cross. It’s whipped in and it’s the opener. Robert Andrich in the right place connects with it sweetly in the center of the goal and guides it home. While Robert Andrich wearing the captain’s armband in place of Lucas Redki came to him. Not real pressure on him. They were standing off and he swings a boot and it does really well to hook it home and by no fear take the lead. [Applause] Robert Andri of course Granite Shackup having recently left the club moving to Sunderland in the Premier League. We see Robert Andrich stepping up to be that enforcer in the center of the park. [Applause] [Music] who was praised by Eric Tenhog in the buildup to this game saying he has leadership quality of course. So P’s up chasing the game now. So, it’s three out of three wins for Kiza in their preseason buildup, but this a real tough test. They’ll also continue with German opposition facing Alsburg next. That’s on Friday. Lovely switch of play from Grimmaldo. Cushioned header as well from Arur. Good buildup play this ball one back but it’s rather one-way traffic. Pisa penned in their own half here. Free kick awarded to the visitors in yellow. [Applause] to get him up there. [Music] Well, straight onto it once more. Not giving the opposition any time to settle here. Of course, Eric Tinhog is overseeing a major rebuild. It’s a new look by an Oria. The early indications are that he’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Just a case of tweaking the tactics and the formation that was laid down by Shabi Alonzo over the past two years or so. Pa advancing up the pitch here. Of course, major departures like Florian Viet and Jeremy Friong to Liverpool as well as Jonathan Tiles move to Bayern. Dangerous ball into the middle. It’s broken away. Kept in play. However, it’s with Toué. They recycle it. [Music] Out to the wing now with Anord win it back. Cooly done to relieve the pressure. One round of applause from those in attendance today. Not quite sold out, but a lot of seats taken here in North Ryan Vesfalia in Leakusen the Bay Arena, home of Delf. [Applause] So the fans have been absolutely blessed with some incredible years under Shabi Alonzo and there’s more hope to come as well. Oh, lovely footwork there from Arur. Well, skipping through the challenges is Tramonei. plays it in and there’s a slip and the pressure is off for now. Flecker sends it along. Ball over the top once more. Alexander Lind is interested in this one. Can gather it. In support is Samuela and Gori. Now Marius Marin came in to replace Marta Hoy Halt the Dane who started for Pisa last time against Empoli. Long diagonal ball out to the wing. Well taken and gory flag is raised however. So Simon Rol and co the managing director have been busy in the market say bringing in a host of exciting new talent. Carol Quant of course making the switch in the opposite direction from Liverpool. He settled nicely into the back three. Scored last time as well. and also the impressive 17-year-old Axel Tappe arrive from PSG. We’re yet to see as well USA’s midfielder Malik Tilman. He’s arrived to boost the attacking options. the 23-year-old making a switch from Dutch club PC PSV Einhovven and of course the 19-year-old Christian Kfane up top. So a new look for Dex this season. What an exciting season it’s going to be, I’m sure. Champions League football action as well coming up. Not to mention next up as well trip to London to face other Italian manager Enzo Moresca at Chelsea. Chelsea still basking in the glory of the FIFA Club World Cup win. So fear building up their pre-season as they get ready for the new Bundesliga campaign. Taps over It’s patient from Diverk South in the center of the park now. Placios that comes out to the far side with Arur. Say Artor suffered an injury when he first came to the club. missed 37 games in his first season. Hopefully, we can see the best of him in the new campaign. [Applause] Palasios turns all over the top. It’s a dangerous one. Has to be headed away. It’s recycled, however. Here’s Arur. It’s one back. It’s Maza. Flashes the shot. It’s come to Grimaldo and it’s off the crossbar and away. A smile on Alex Grimaldo’s face. How often have we seen that kind of opportunity ripple the back of the net? One touch to set it up. And even from that range getting the dip and the swerve. Andrean Sha happy to see that one rattle the crossbar run away. It’s with Andrich once more. Final fear come again. Slightly overrun. It’s good work from Two and eight. [Applause] So SA building up from the back. quick into the challenge but Pisa come away with it. Tracking back Mosart shoulderto-sh shoulder. Let’s take a look at this one again. Marin with the slide rule pass and then it’s Henrik Meister who goes down under the challenge. Promising position here for the visitors. Matteo Tamoni is interested in this free kick in a good position. Pops up try and send it direct again. It ricochets around the penalty area and all fear survived another scare there. Andresa Toué arriving at that back post does have an eye for goal as well. The midfielder. So Kafana back to help out on defensive duties. [Applause] play it short. Can they get the ball into the penalty area? It comes back. The long distance effort is off target. So Alberto Giladinho taking over from Felippo Enzagi at the helm of PAP. Interestingly in their playing career they’re often compared to each other. Both poachers Brazilian brilliant positional play as well I should say. Both have a denied for goal. A big opportunity here. Chance to stretch the legs. And it’s a second goal for Bayern Alia. And a first goal for Christian Kofana. A smart finish to put Dexel 2 nil up. [Music] That was a lightning quick counter attack sent through. One touch out of the feet and it goes through the legs rather of Shmpa. Hit low and hard on target and he gets his reward. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Turning defense into attack has been one of the trademarks of Bayon fear over the far last few years on show there as well. [Music] [Applause] So Bayern here with that buffer now. Header one by Toué but trickles out for the goal kick. Say I was just mentioning about strikers. Gelinho and Enzagi. Two Italian legends really both in Italy’s World Cup winning squad of 2006. [Music] say Fippo Enzagi joined Pisa in 2024 led them to a second place finish. They’ve now returned to the top tier after 34 years away. However, interestingly, he’s never stayed at a club for more than two seasons, and he’s opted to move to Palmo and try and repeat the heroics of last year, lead Palmo up to Syria as well. Filippo the older brother of Simona Enzaga who Enzagi who stepped down as Inter Milan boss to take charge of Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia Eric Tenhog a new era for him as well. so much success at Ajax of course over the years. He was there 2017 to 22 before making the move to Man United. Couple of seasons at Man United didn’t go the way he would have hoped it would have done. And now in the hot seat Bayern Or another great ball into the penalty area from Grimaldo. He has the quality to hurt you all over the pitch really. Nice turn. Alex Graldo there fouled in shooting position and it’s another good position as well for a free kick. [Music] Odds on that it will be in fact Ronaldo who will take it as well. Just felt the shove in the back happy to go down. Ebeneza Akin Sanmro a guilty party that time number 19 in the center of the park alongside Marius Marin. So far it’s been Andre and Palasios have won that midfield battle. [Applause] It’s Alex Grimaldo and it’s into the wall. Palasios recycles it. Oh, he felt arm across the face there, but play continues. Pisa break down the left wing with Martin. Both Marlin and then Tramon end up on the floor. We’ll put the brakes on. left the ball behind that. Axel Tappe put the afterburners on there. Close down the yards, close down the danger as well. So entertaining first 21 minutes or so. Two very nice goals from the home side. Poria puts them in a good position. [Music] Cario sends it back to the goalkeeper. [Music] Cory sends it long. It’s tidied up at the back. The ball goes all the way through to Kafana. Breaking forwards here is Arur. Real pace on that right hand side. Oh, this is not a good sign here. It was a sprint from Arur and he’s pulled up immediately. Concerns there for Eric Tenhog [Applause] hobbling around there. Looks to be in some discomfort. Hopefully it’s just a knock across the shin there. Well, concern here for the young Brazilian who’s been blighted with injuries since his arrival by an oria and this will be a big blow. Out comes the magic sponge. Hopefully it is just a knock there to the ankle. So, a chance of some instructions from Eric Tenhog and an opportunity for the players to take on some fluids. Say conditions are rather cool. It’s been a bit of a wishy-washy rainy summer in Northern Europe. Although there is a heat wave on its way. Well, looks to be in some discomfort there. A warm round of applause. Fingers crossed. Nothing too serious for our tour. [Applause] [Music] So, back underway here. 25 minutes on the clock. Pisa trailing by two goals. Solid performance so far from Dexel. [Music] Marin plays a long ball forward. A good one. Here’s Angordi. Chance to cross. Cleared away by Axel Tappé. at the moment by an old fear. Down to 10 players. Another cross. Dangerous one into the sixyd area. Mark Fleen collects it. Was a run across the face of goal, but the attacker couldn’t get anything on the end of it. And that’s a good sign. Looks like Arur is ready to come back on. That’s a great sight there. The magic sponge did its job. Akinro with the ball over the top this time. Straight back into action. Good ball forwards to Ibrahim Maza. Maza nice turn. That’s nice buildup play Kafana. Now there’s the run. Tell offside back to Kafana but it’s well defended by the Italian defense there. Caracio using the body really well. Say two Italians and a Brazilian in the back. Three for Pisa. Oh, nice ball to Maza. Maza dribbling run. Pulls the trigger and it’s just wide. Amazy dribble wants the corner as well and he gets it. And with the reverse ball Maza, how about that for control? Gets the shot off and only a sliding tackle to deny him. [Applause] Pierro and Capier waiting in the penalty area. A lot of height in this Borier side. It’s played short. Ronaldo working the angle. Get it to the edge of the area. The shot comes in and was that a save. Catches it sweetly. Did Advan Sha get a fingertip to that one? Let’s take a look at this one again. A lot of whip and it is a top save in fact inside the D. Goalkeeper sees it. A great atmosphere. Lovely football being played. Ball into the near post this time. Sent away. It’s with Grimaldo. Now Andri stams it forwards. Tappe can’t get it. Pisa just three players up again. Possession turned over. Palasios in acres of space in the center of the park. Grimmaldo’s there. Just Kafalana to aim for in the penalty area. Patience is the order of the day and it’s recycled. Still feeling that left leg of his. [Applause] That was a lovely bit of skill from Ibrahim Maza. [Music] on to Chase, but he won’t get there in the end. Nathan Cellup. So, 30 minutes up, final feas on the eye, plenty of action. And at the right end, if you’re a fan of Dexa there guarding Alexander Lind. Well, it looks like we will see a change after all. Arn Adley surely coming on for our tour on this right hand side seems to be walking okay. Hopefully nothing too serious for the young Brazilian. On comes Army Andley. 15 caps for Morocco. Also has French citizenship as well. The pacey wing up. Will this be Arlene Adley season? He nails down a regular spot on the wing for Bayern Oria. First time ball. Lovely ball around the corner. Tella now on the right hand side can square it as he did before in the game against Bockam I believe provider for Army Nadley that day as well. So Grimaldo, another opportunity from the corner flag. Deep delivery this time. The header is one, but it’s off target from Edund Tapsoba. The 26y old from Bikin Faso at the heart of Bor’s defense today. Looks like diver blessed for options at the back. A lot of strength and depth in the defense of Bayia. So, Matias Luzagi straight out of play. So far so good for Eric Tenhard. It’s good distribution from Flecken pace on the ball. Well controlled. Pas are now pressing. Flecken forced to go long. Fight for it in midfield. Bere come away with it. This is dangerous. The ball across to Nathan Tella and it’s blocked on the line by the goalkeeper Adrien Sher once more. Well, the visitors can thank their goalkeeper for keeping the score down to 2-0 at the moment denying Maza a couple of times. And now Nathan Teller as well again. The wingers combining this time. Army Adley putting it on a plate for just couldn’t wrap his boot around it and guide it back to that far stick. [Music] say overall you feel that by all fear primed for another season of success. A lot of fans will be hopeful, perhaps hopeful rather than expecting is the word that they can compete with Bayern Munich. Of course, of course, the dominant side, the perennial heavyweights of German football. That was until one certain shaveonzo arrived upended the order Vincent company and co climbing back onto their perch and they’ll be aiming to remain there as well in the Bundesliga. What about the other contenders? What will we see from Corsia Dortmund this season? RB Leipig and co delivery into the box. It’s ricocheting around. The boot was swung at it by Adley and the foul is given. [Music] Toué nods it on. Capier on that far side. Lovely bit of skill there to keep possession. And immediately Andri slotting into that back three. Say Andrich is also a player that can play in center back position. And Axel Tappe can either play at defensive midfield or at center back as well. So a lot of options for Tenhog, a lot of fluidity in the side. He’s pressing. haven’t had too much joy in front of goal so far yet to really test Mark Flechen as we cross the 37th minute mark. Lovely ball inside to Maza once more. Maza, great control there, juggling the ball. Well, they spent some time in Brazil. I think they picked up a few tricks as well. That’s nicely done as well by the center back power of Inappier and Tapsoba. So far, Lind and Me Troy haven’t really had a sniff in front of goal. taps over comes across now. Fizzed in and Maza somehow wins it back once more. Really winning quite a lot of jewels up top. Ibrahim Maza. options ahead of Grimmaldo. Comes to Adley Kafana in the center. It’s fired in low and hard and it’s up and it’s out for a throw in. [Applause] So, oneway traffic so far. Pa with everybody back. Space on the wings. Final fear probing in the center of the park. [Music] That’s certainly what the fans have come accustomed to seeing the last couple of seasons. Binal Fear really just strangling teams. That’s a very smart finish indeed. Deserved a goal from Robert Andre. It was cute and it was clever. Little bit of disguise on it. Just rolled it towards that back stick and the woodwork comes to the rescue for Pisa once more. One time off the crossbar and now off the post as well. Three players surrounding the Pisa player. Nathan Tella, however, a judge to have fouled. So the stalwart veteran canolo the captain wearing number four for Pisa again can see the bodies surrounding the Pisa players. [Music] Campa must an effort on goal in this first half. He found it heavy going so far. Mind share of the possession definitely with the DXL and again the move breaks down a little bit rusty. the team from Tuskanyany. [Music] They also enjoyed a good break before the preseason really got underway. Plenty of times to celebrate returning to the Syria arm. Oh, nice turn. Clever move there. He’s a come again. It’s in the center. Hooked away. Aken Sanmro competing for a bit of breaks for Bernia and Boria with another opportunity to hit them on the counterattack. It’s back to Grimaldo. He’s forced to check. Send it back to Andrich. Palacios with a quick ball into Maza. Palasio once more. Pisa now. Everybody back. Andrich. Hadley calling for it in the center. Little give and go. And the shot stopped as well. Another save. I mean Nadley well apologizing quite within his rights to shoot from that kind of range I would say. Andrean Sha very busy in the goal for Pisa. [Applause] Final fear once more. Five players in the box and Capier twisting turning winning the throw in. Well, Pisa’s motto, so to speak, as they shot from distance, just goes past the upright. So, Pisa’s motto is defying gravity since 1909. A brilliant motto in my opinion. However, the score leaning towards Bayern Or today, it keep [Music] surrounded. Pull one back again. Bir quick to get possession. Just a minute or so remaining of this first half. Of course, we had that injury to Arur. Interesting to see if the referee adds much stoppage time on to the end of this first half. Tappe [Music] Ibrahim Mars again dropping down deeper. Interesting to see that he likes to come short to collect the ball, get involved in the buildup. That’s good play. This is dangerous. Lovely reverse pass from Grimaldo. It’s up in the air dropping for the volley. What a goal that is to make it three. It comes out of the sky and exacios keeps his eye on the ball and drives home the third. Well, the World Cup winner from Argentina with a real bit of quality there right before the break. It’s fed into a Galdo. Bit of backspin on it. Did it cross the line? We hope not. But take nothing away from the finish there. It’s high in the sky. And then in a blink of an eye, it’s in the corner. Brilliant technique. Clinically dispatched. Exe Palasios and it’s 3-0 for Dex [Applause] and the referee does indeed signal the end of the first half. A very very good first half for South and Co. Easy on the eye. Plenty of goal action. It’s been a dominant performance so far. All smiles. Just the one cloud in the sky, the injury to our we hope that’s nothing serious. [Music] Andre got the party started early on in the fourth minute. A nice finish from him before Kafane doubled the score getting his first for the club on his first start as well. Brilliant stuff for the 19year-old. And then the pick of the bunch, Exe Palasios. What a volley that was to make it three. So it stands at Halime. We’ll take a break, get refreshments, and then we will see you for the second half. See you shortly. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Applause] Heat. [Applause] No follow. No follow. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] sportsman here. [Music] Yeah.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Applause] [Music] for me to even [Music] [Applause] [Music] I’m sure everybody really [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Superman. [Music] And welcome back to the second half by no fear in a good position. 3-0 up. Robert Andrich getting the party started in the fourth minute. hooking home a volley to open the scoring and then it was the turn of the 19year-old Christian Kofan in the 17th minute back in his first for the club after Grimmaldo helped set up a trademark counterattack and then shortly before the break perhaps the pick of the bunch Grimmaldo and Adley combined the high looping cross was then sent like a thunderbolt into the crew on the goal by Ezekiel Ezekiel Palasios Real touch of class there. Brilliant technique on display from the World Cup winner. And so we can hope for more. But Pisa here in a good opportunity. Nice recovering tackle there, [Music] but it was mainly one-way traffic in the first half. It’ll be interesting to see how Peas fare in the Syria A next year. Say newly promoted. Will they have the opportunity to strengthen their squad somewhat? playing on here trying to keep the ball in there. Army Andley say Pisa have indeed signed the Swiss player Michelle Abisha. So they will hope to strengthen their midfield going into their new campaign. And that’s a dangerous cross into the center. coming out. All guns blazing in the second half. Really testing the Bay defense here. [Music] So three changes for Bayern Orwans [Music] coming on for Pier Incapier. Also Jonas Hoffman for Ibrahim Madza and Patrick Schik for Christian Kofana. [Music] Our fourth substitution of the day of course after Arur was replaced by Armen Andley in the 31st minute down goes Tella under the challenge. One across the shins there and Gory the number three on that far side. Heavy touch. They win it back through Patrick Schick trying to set up Adley. [Music] Things could get worse in fact for peas up with the likes of Patrick Schik coming on. managed to bag himself 21 goals in the Bundesliga last season. Was actually the most from open play. Few discount penalties. Patrick Schik finishing above Harry Kanan co in a good opportunity. Good position here. The extra touch just one too many also. Pisa making the swap at halftime. Alexander Lint has been replaced by Stephano Moro. Come on. Defense. Trone holding on to Tappe there. Tap able to ride the challenge, keep possession. It’s with Andrich now. Calling for it on this near side is Palasios. Graldo rather comes to Grimaldo. Good delivery. Punch clear. Still with Bayern. However, Hoffman. Well read by Traon. say Tramon is Pisa’s top scorer but having to do a lot of defending today and once more and Hoffman handling an offside position was hea fighting hard trying to make it stick up top and in the end Henrik Meister up able to win something there for his side. [Applause] So Henrik Mer is on loan from the French side runs till the end of the year. Alberto Geladinho, former center forward for AC Milan and Italy, represented his country 57 times, scoring 19 goals, including one against the USA as Italy beat the USA in the 20 two sorry 2006 World Cup. Last year he was actually with Genoa guided them to a 13th place finish in Syria. AR taking over from Filipo Enzagi. He’s moved to Palmo in Sicily. Sayi carving out a bit of a niche for himself as the go-to manager for promotion from the second tier to the top tier. That’s a lovely ball. Taps got to be careful there. Henrik Meister’s gone down. Taps over the last defender. Henrik Meister there got the wrong side. And in fact, it is a red card for Edmond Tapsoba. Even though it’s a friendly, the rules of the rules had a nibble. Henrik Meister capitalizing on that breakaway and it’s a red card for Edmond Tapsoba. Well, he was taking a risk by making any kind of contact with Henrik Meister there and suddenly he’s up with a glimmer of hope in this friendly. [Applause] It’s Angori. Samuel Angori with the left foot. Gets the bend but not the dip. Wyatt’s put a whole new complexion on the game now as Bernal Fear will have to play out the remainder of just 10 men. All came from Pisa’s ball right down the middle and Henrik Meister proving to be a real thorn in the side there for Tapsoba. This will take a bit of a reshuffle. Oh, lovely work on the far side there from Nathan Cellar. [Applause] [Music] got away from his marker and then the second one brings him to the ground. Hoffman gets us going again. Quansa losing the ball there. He’s a great play from Axel Tappe once more. [Music] Palasios into Andre. Tappe to the far side. Pisa pressing more and here is Ibishop signing straight into the squad today. Hasn’t had a lot of time to train with Peup. He does bring with him a lot of experience as well. It’s on loan from Bologna. In fact, the 28-year-old central midfielder. Good delivery and a chance to sweep home the first for Pisa in the middle was Meister. He didn’t get any connection on it. Pisa though looking more dangerous in the second half. Another good ball. Oh, that’s a wonderful chested volley from Toué. A real touch of glass on this near side. grabbing in confidence the visitors now. Hoffman does well fear just trying to take the sting out of the game now. Palasios now Adley Ball into Hoffman taking up the position between the lines trying to feed it into Patrick Schik. Hoffman really the expert getting in between finding those pockets of space but again mist trying to bully the defender but this time Axel Tappe has the speed to recover. He’s proving a handful though in this second half. [Music] This is [Music] another [Music] departure. of Florian and Bets and co as they’ll look towards the likes of Hoffman to try and pick up those positions that be used to find. [Music] [Applause] So another change for P’s up [Music] And it is Muel Ibisha the number 20 say on loan from Bologna and in the center of the park Marius Marin makes way. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Well, Pisa’s turn to enjoy some possession now. The visitors in yellow. They failed to test Mark Flecken in goal for Bayern Or in the first half, but they’ve come out all guns blazing in the second. This will be a really good training exercise for Bayia and defensive duties. The next shot comes in off target. It’s Traonone the number 10. He’s top scorer. Doing a lot of defending today, but does have an eye for goal as well. It should be an absolutely fascinating beginning to the season once the competitive matches do get underway. Final Fear with a real blend of youth and experience. How quickly can they gel together? Patrick Schik as usual doing the business up top for Bernia the Czech striker. He’s been called world class. Has a real knack for scoring lastm minute goals in big games. How many times did he come to the rescue in Europe and in the Bundesliga for Bayia in the last couple of seasons? Such a key part in their success. Ethan Teller now on the break. Slightly isolated. Has to check back. Hoffman’s with him. Does well to find Tappe. Keeps possession. Andrich now in the back three applauding his teammate. Tappe. Andrich and Kansa in that back line now. There he is. Jarro. Hoffman gets involved. That’s nice buildup. Finding the spaces. Army Nadley plays it into the center of the park. Palasios. This is crisp passing. They’re finding their targets here despite being a man down. Making good advances down the pitch here. Grimmaldo. Lovely touch from him. Finally, the move is broken up. Toué once more. Strong athletic figure. The number 15. Lovely chest and volley as well. trying to link up with Meister once more. [Music] Can now Bishop can he exert some influence in the center of the park now? It’s a battle that they lost in the first half by clearly dominant. Here is Ibisha. Another cross. Deep cross. Dangerous one. Nodded away from Grimmaldo. Had to be dealt with. Adrica Toué was lurking on his shoulder. Very good delivery as well on that far side. And Gore whipping it in. So, Mateo Tamoni alongside him and Gori as well. Plenty in attendance this early evening kickoff. And there’s the season opener in the Bay Arena. [Music] So more changes. Alles Gaffia coming on. [Music] Nathan Tella, the man heading towards the touch line there. [Music] It sounds like Palasios also going off. [Music] Jeremiah Mensah, the number 39, also joining the frey. Jeremiah Mensah, one of the players coming up from the under 19s. It’s another highlight, in fact, another strong point of Bayern Or youth setup. It’s proven to be a real buzz around the under 19s. Plenty of talent in fact pushing to make it into the senior squad. Under 19s narrowly lost out to Cologne in a thrilling finale of uh last season’s championship. Finished 54 to Cologne overall. It was a successful season. [Applause] The shot blocked [Applause] and the referee awards a free kick for Bayia. say also on the bench today, Victor Bonaface, Alejo Sarko, Fared, Alfa, Rupre, and the goalkeepers Redky and Lom. [Music] See Victor Bonaface enjoyed a prolific start to his career by an Oria. Absolutely banging in the goals. Well, this is dangerous. Pisa breaking through the lines. Might pull one back here. Flecking with the save. Sticks out a hand to deny Pisa yet again in the right place. And now the break is on. Three against two. It’s now on the far side. Pisa momentarily stretched. Army Adley cutting back inside. Pulls the trigger and it’s over the bar. Well, end to end stuff here. You can’t take your eyes off it for a moment. [Applause] Ramoni once more. He’s covered some kilometers today. Strong shot from Adley but always rising. What a save that was from Flecken to deny Stephano Morio. Keys have come again. Five in the back line for Pinal Fear. This time the ball too much ahead of the Pisa front line again. It’s that man me up. It’s a chance that they really should have taken. A little bit too close to Flecken, but take nothing away from the save. Very nicely done. [Music] So approaching the 70th minute mark. Alish Graia the Spaniard in the action in the center of the park again with Granite Shaka’s absence. Much needed in the middle of the park alongside Andri. [Music] Final fear. Come forward once more. Get out. Get out. Andley looking for a way through. PA quickly across. There’s no space there. Chance to explore on this near side perhaps. Comes as far as Quansa. He’s forced back. He’s a chasing the game still. A It’s great running once more from Army Nadley. Apart from the red card, we’ve seen very little action from the referee. this time does brandish it a caution yellow card from Samuela Anordi. Latent pull back there and a couple of fouls as well in the first half and the second So Flecken assessing the options ahead of him. Sends it long towards the natural target man. That is Patrick Schik. Patrick Schik wants a free kick but referee not interested. [Music] keys up and chance to explore down that far side. It’s one back from Adley. Really good performance from him since coming on. Has the audacity to take on Trammonia as well. Again, warmly applauded from his teammates there. Defense certainly starts up front. as it looks like Pisa are ready to make a bunch of wholesale changes. Jeremiah Mensah breaking into the box there trying to get his first touches. That’s a lovely bit of skill to set up this attack. He’s with the overload here. It’s with Toué. Toué can’t steer it past Andre and the long distance shot is straight into the hands of Mark Fleen. [Applause] Nice block there in the right place. Comes as far as Matteos Luzi the Brazilian number two. Cooly done again from Flecken. Brings with him a lot of experience. Of course, battle hardened in the Premier League. This is his teammate here, Jarro Kona. Galdo into Hoffman. All credit to Bayern as well. They haven’t just shut up shop. Continuing to explore, continuing to probe and trying to attack. Fans appreciating it both in the stadium and at home, I’m sure. [Music] [Music] So, four substitutions at the ready for Pisa. Malta Hoy Halt, one of those, the number eight Danish midfielder. out. Hoffman’s ball forwards doesn’t connect with Patrick Schik. Toué now. Oh, nice clever turn. Good delivery as well by Noria. Still closing the door there. Flamone trying to win the ball back. Fleen sends it along. Stefano Morio has made an impact since coming on there. Setting up that latest attack. Ball into the middle. It’s with Meister. Doesn’t connect with Morio. Instead, now it’s with Toué. Ronaldo on defensive duties. And there’s the header. And it’s off target. Henrik Meister once more. I’ll say the striker 21-year-old Dne on loan from Ren was on the score sheet last time against Empoli and would have backed himself to hit the target there. Generates a lot of power but just off target. [Music] So here comes the substitutions for Pisa. [Music] Looks like it is Arturo Calabrazi who’s coming on number 33 as well as Gabriella Pikanini. It’s the last we’ll see of the top scorer Trmoni. No clear sight of goal for him today. also making way. That top was Lint [Music] Eanza Akin Samanro replaced by Malta Hoy Halt. Like for like there’s also another substitution for Bayern Alia Farid Ala Rupre making his way onto the pitch as well. Another new signing getting the minutes here at the Bay Arena. So just confirmation of those substitutions there as well. Samuel Angori replaced by Mer Damush and Antonio Kalachi replaced by Calabrazi and Axel Tappe replaced by Issa Trou. Sorry, my mistake there. Number 41 for Bayern Oria. [Music] Pa once more trying to link up. So plenty of changes. Still the score remains 3-0 for Bayern here. That’s up. So here it’s another center back. Got him down as a center back from Marley. Bernie as well after this taking a trip to London to face the FIFA Club World Cup champions Chelsea under Enzo Moresco of course Italian manager once more. Big pressure here. Coolly done. And can Bor fear now bring it down the other end? It’s towards Army Nadley. And across comes the defender to tidy that one up. Ben Havoc there on the touch line. Another defender coming on. I mean Hadley. and Havor very much a part of the setup in the youth system thanks to the under 19s. Another player pushing for minutes in the senior side, Alejandro Galdo makes way And the real test of course coming up in the DFB pokeal that’s the German cup that gets underway quite soon. Final fear will face Sonenhof Gross Aspah from the regional league southwest. That’s away from home in the first round to be played on the 15th of August at 6:00 Central European time. And then the Bundesliga gets underway Saturday 23rd of August against 8099 Hoffenheim. We’re going to visit the Biodina kickoff at 5 uh 3:30 Central European time. Just under eight minutes remaining here. Final fear down to 10 players. Pis are still looking to register. A goal here. Wholesale changes on both sides. Lots of substitutes being used here in this preseason. The first preseason game to be played at the Bay Arena. Hoffman thumps it down the line. Who’s there? Marmy Nadley, of course. Solid defending once more. Simona Canestelli. Great positioning from the Italian defender. Uzzaraji sends it down the left wing. Durush is there. Checks back. The ball towards Té who gets his header to it, but there was not too much power behind the effort. And again, Flecken not really tested there. Been forced into one. Very, very good save at close range. Apart from that had to be spot on with his distribution as well. He’s committing numbers up front up top trying closing down the lanes. [Music] So Bayern Or now definitely with a target trying to end the game with a clean sheet. But here come Pisa once more. All hands to the pump there for Diver. Mikish recycles it. Another cross again. player in the way [Applause] [Music] to a tall figure wearing number 41. Bambi now number 76 for Pisa is warming up ready to come on. [Applause] First the corner to be dealt with. It’s rather scuffed along the floor. Easily cleared. Hits the first man. Bit of a wasted opportunity there from Pisa’s perspective. [Music] Hoffman. wiggling away from the pressure. Plays it to Flecken. Just under five minutes remaining. [Music] [Applause] Well, so far so good for himself. A tale of two halves really. First half final fear fully in control racing away oneway traffic and then the game turned on its head after Henrik Meister got the wrong side of Edmund Tapsoba. So Jeremy Bambi makes his way onto the pitch for Pisa. Chance for another delivery from a set piece. And there is Ambi. His first touch is to force a brilliant save from Flecken once more. came straight at him. Well, that would have been quite the introduction for the youngster had that one gone in. Let’s have a look once more. Decent delivery. Keeps his eye on the ball. Hits Flecken right square in the chest. He’s able to guide it with a bit of an angle away from the center of goal. Does the right thing. So, Calabrizzi wearing the captain’s armband. Too competitive there. [Music] So Armen Andley now making way Montreal Culbreth Monte Carbreath number 43 another one that’s been starring for the under 19s also has American citizenship is a very tricky winger a lot of quality in Monte Carbrath’s game. High for goal as well. So by no fear finishing the game with a lot of youngsters on the pitch to Havoc horse breath Jeremiah Mensah. [Music] There’s Andre. It’s lost in the center of the park. Pisa with another opportunity here. Toué on this near side being marshaled by Havhor. Havhost goes in for the challenge. Shy gets away from him and the final effort is put over the bar. More frustration in front of goal. Four peas up. Stephano Murio unable to really glance that one. Goalbound. We go into the final minutes of what’s been a very entertaining game. Although Bay Fear may to suffer in the second half. Expect Eric Tenhog will be pleased with the clean sheet and certainly with the attacking display in the first half and say a massive test awaits in London in the form of Chelsea. Cole Palmer and co have been in great form. Finished the season strongly as well last year in the Premier League. How will they do as well in the Premier League this year? What exciting league that it will be as well. And there is the final whistle right at the stroke of the 90th minute. It finishes Bayern Oria three. Pisa Essie of Tuskanyany nil. A highly enjoyable game and a t really a game of two halves it has to be said. Robert Andri getting the game’s first goal hooking home after Grimaldo had done really well. [Applause] And then of course Christian Kofana finding the back of the net after Grimmaldo had set up the counterattack. What a moment for the youngster, the 19year-old getting his first goal under the cross of Bayern. And then of course Palasios with perhaps the pick of the bunch. And Grimmalda once more involved. The ball coming out of the sky and like a thunderbolt dispatched into the bottom left hand corner. All in the first half and then the game turned on its head. Final fear reduced to 10 men after Tap Soa was given his marching orders early bath for him. It won’t matter too much in the end. A friendly another preeason the first one here of the 2526 season in the Bay Arena and successfully done. The only question mark of course Arur’s injury in the first half. Perhaps the only downside to what’s been a very enjoyable evening here in Labourken. So plenty to look forward to. The excitement builds of course. Pisa continue their football in Germany. They’re going to take on Algsburg on Friday. And as mentioned, final fear heading to London to take on Chelsea before things get truly underway. Here we see the highlights of the game. Andri’s goal in the first half did really well. Ball slightly behind him. Defenders stood like statues as he guided that one home. And here at the break, Kafana eyes for goal. Low shot hard. Maybe the goalkeeper should have done better on that one, but he won’t mind one bit. His first goal for the club in a very good performance as well. Also, Ibrahim Maza, another youngster who impressed in the first half, often dropping deep to set up some attacks on this one. How about that? I think the ball did stay inside the line in fact and Palasios’s shot. What a volley that one was. Top quality entertainment from Boria Leverkusen. That’s all from me today. I’ll see you back here for more football action as we get underway in the new season. Until then, have a very good rest of your day and see you next time. [Applause] Goodbye. [Applause] Hey [Music] [Music] everybody. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat [Music] up [Music] here.

  1. After signing bade and a goalkeeper we need to sign elite wingers like aklioche, dibling, aspirilla and Justin these wingers will bring a lot to the table if we can get two or one among them it will be awesome ❤ and the world should watch out for Eric Tenhag 😊

  2. Das sah doch insgesamt schon ganz gut aus Maza, Grimaldo, Rob, Tape und Flekken schon sehr stark aber unsere Flügelspieler sind zu schwach hoffe mit Tillman wird das nochmal was besser. Bitte holt doch noch einen weiteren Anführer mit Erfahrung Saliba klingt da garnicht schlecht. Und Asprilla fand ich toll wo Akliouche für dieses Jahr ja wohl vom Tisch ist mit seiner Verlängerung.

  3. Als Herthaner lag mein besonderes Augenmerk auf Maza. Mein persönlicher Eindruck ist, dass der Junge den nächsten Schritt gemacht hat. Entweder mit einem Kontakt den Ball weiter gegeben oder auf engem Raum behauptet. Jede Ballberührung war zweckdienlich und wirkte trotz Druck ungezwungen. Gedanklich scheint er das schnelle Level für die Bundesliga mitzubringen. Was mich irritiert sind die vielen "Ibo!" Rufe von der Seitenlinie. Ich hoffe, dass das daher rührt, dass die Erwartungen an ihn einfach nur hoch sind und nicht weil er diese Anweisungen tatsächlich benötigt. Mein Eindruck ist sowohl aus dem letzten Testspiel gegen Fortuna Sittard als auch hier äußerst positiv von dem Burschen. Noch mehr als bei der Hertha, und da fand ich Ibo schon stark. Ich befürchte, dass ihr an Maza noch sehr viel Spaß haben werdet. Vorausgesetzt ihr nehmt nicht ständig Wirtz als Messlatte…
