#Yannick Schmidt

[save-the-villainous-cat]

hi i have a little 18th century german boy oc and u r the only german person ik . i want to strike a deal . if u suggest German names i will give u cat pictures

A lil 18th century German oc? Oh boy oh boy those dudes had terrible names like Gerhard, Eberhard, Reinhard…lots of hard huh…

But here are a few German names (also a bit Nordic, cuz I’m a bitch living in the north and c’mon Hanse <33) which I believe to be rather timeless and free of the grandpa stamp:

-Hans

-Erik (also Eric)

-Anton

-Till

-Emil

-Mats

-Fiete

-Lars / Lasse

-Konrad (also Conrad)

-Fred

-Moritz

-Jannik (also Jannick, Yannic, Yannik, Yannick…)

-Gustaf (also Gustav)

-Arne

-Phillip (also Fillip)

-Finn

-Jakob

-Jan

-Nils

-Julius

(Not me searching through my followers on insta to look up my classmate’s names…👹)

Those would be a few that come to mind when I think of timeless names that guys had in the 18th century and today. When we think about 18th century people specifically, I just think of writers and artists of that time, like:

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (<3) and his boyfriend

Friedrich Schiller,

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing,

Joseph von Eichendorff (<3),

Caspar David Friedrich (<3),

Heinrich Reinhold…etc. etc…

As most last names, Germany’s last names are an indicator for the occupation someone had (unless there’s a von, that means they’re nObLe), here are some examples:

-Schmidt

-Weber (hehe)

-Bauer

-Müller / Möller

-Koch

-Schneider

-Fischer

-Meier/Meyer

-Wagner

-Becker

-Hoffmann

-Schäfer

-Wolf

-Neumann

-Zimmermann

-Krüger

-Köhler

Etc. etc….

In 1982, André Bamberski learns about the death of his 14 year-old daughter, Kalinka, while she was on vacation with her mother and stepfather in Germany. Convinced that Kalinka’s death was not an accident, Bamberski begins to investigate. A botched autopsy report raises his suspicions and leads him to accuse Kalinka’s stepfather, Dr Dieter Krombach, as the murderer. Unable to indict Krombach in Germany, Bamberski attempts to take the trial to France, where he will dedicate his life to Kalinka’s justice and the imprisonment of Krombach. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Black Mount Rise - Sundown Boulevard - Review

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vier Jahre lang war es mehr oder weniger ruhig um Black Mount Rise. Von der damaligen Besetzung ist gerade noch Mastermind und Cheflenker Yannick Schmidt übriggeblieben. Mit seinen neuen Mitmusikern hat er sich nun also an den Nachfolger von “Curtains Falling” gemacht und zeigt, dass der Vorhang noch lange nicht gefallen ist. Bleischwer eröffnet ein Riff den Einsteiger “We Are Sinking” und es geht gleich richtig ans Gemüt. Leichte Kost waren sie noch nie die Songs von Black Mount Rise, hier geht es aber schon ganz schön düster ans Eingemachte. Gleich beim ersten Song ist mir klar, diese Klangwelten muss man sich mehr als einmal reinziehen. Nach mehrmaligem Hören eröffnen sich aber musikalische Dimensionen, die ich mittlerweile nur noch mit geschlossenen Augen durchlebe. Das Gefühl dabei kommt noch um einiges intensiver daher und berührt mich als Hörer ganz tief im Innern. Bereits der zweite Song “Silence & Disarray “wirkt dann aber schon um einiges zerbrechlicher, was vor allem der Stimme zuzuschreiben ist. In der Bridge, so knapp nach einer Minute Spielzeit, erinnert es mich schon fast ein wenig an Dave Gahan von Depeche Mode. Dann im Refrain merkt man dann förmlich, wie es Yannick beim Einsingen der Silben schon fast zerreisst, hier werden Gefühle transportiert, die ganz schon tief gehen, wenn man sich der Musik von Black Mount Rise öffnet.

Zum nächsten Song “Sundown Boulevard” drehte die Band in Eigenregie einen Videoclip und er wurde bereits als erste Single veröffentlicht. Der Song selbst repräsentiert die Band ganz gut. Ein richtig geiles hartes Riff und ein recht eingängiger Refrain. Bei “Beautiful Mistake” schlägt das Gefühlsbarometer wieder um. Akustische Gitarren begleiten die weinerliche Stimme, welche auf der Suche ist zu bleiben. Auch für diesen Song wurde ein Videoclip gedreht und ist ein ganz schönes Kontrastprogramm zur ersten Auskopplung. Gegen Ende gewinnt “Beautiful Mistake” dann an Intensität und Kraft, ohne an der Wirkung zu verlieren.

Das Wechselbad der Gefühle geht bei allen Songs so weiter, dabei haben sie die Reihenfolge für die Songs auf dem Longplay richtig gut hingekriegt, so dass nie Langeweile aufkommt. Ich finde dies bei diesem tonnenschweren Album auch recht wichtig, es würde einem sonst erschlagen. Dass in der Mitte platzierte “All This Time” ist dann wieder ein kleiner Juwel an Musikalität. Hier greifen die Vier Musiker ganz tief in die Stilkiste und bedienen sich kunterbunt. Dank Yannick’s Stimme ist es aber immer noch unverkennbar Black Mount Rise.

Auch Gitarren müssen nicht immer die Spielmacher sein. Bei “In That Respect” bekommen Bass und Schlagzeug enorm viel Platz während den Strophen, füllen diesen jedoch nur soweit nötig aus, songdienlich sag ich dem, und verleitet zum Träumen bevor die Gitarren mich aufwecken. Das Album geht spannend weiter und bietet mit insgesamt dreizehn Songs einiges an Material bis dann mit “Bristol Paper Town” erneut ein ruhiger Höhepunkt aus den Boxen erklingt. Wunderschöne Harmonien lassen die Schwere der vorangegangenen Songs ein wenig verdauen und verschnaufen.

Wie bereits beim Vorgänger haben Black Mount Rise auch dem aktuellen Album einen Gast eingeladen. Produzent Eike Freese, selber Musiker, kam beim Song “We Might Be Wrong” zu Ehren. “Indifference” markiert den Rausschmeisser, ein Song der mich gegen den Schluss auch ein wenig an Led Zeppelin erinnert. In der Summe ist “Sundown Boulevard” ein richtig gutes Album geworden. Hart und düster zugleich mit genügend Ausflügen zu emotional zerbrechlichen Songkonstrukten. Es ist bestimmt kein Album um es mal so ganz nebenbei zu konsumieren. Damit würde man Black Mount Rise Unrecht tun. Bei diesem Album braucht es Zeit um es auf sich wirken zu lassen. Wer sich diese Zeit jedoch nimmt, bekommt ein Album, bei welchem man anmerkt wieviel Zeit in die Songs investiert wurde. Deshalb vor allem meinen Dank an Black Mount Rise, sie haben mir das Album bereits anfangs Januar zukommen lassen, so konnte ich meine Zeit auf dem Sundown Boulevard verbringen, ohne der Schwere zu erliegen. Aktuell ist die Band an der Tourvorbereitung, sobald ich die Daten vorliegen habe, werden diese natürlich auch in den Konzertkalender aufgenommen. Am 28.02.2020 ist jetzt erst einmal die CD-Taufe angesetzt, Details dazu gibt es hier.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”44134″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Tracklisting:

Romeo + Julia, Schloss Nymphenburg, München

Romeo + Julia, Schloss Nymphenburg, München

Interessanterweise habe ich in diesem Sommer dreimal hintereinander Romeo und Juliagesehen, wenn auch in vollkommen unterschiedlicher Art und Weise. Dabei könnte man doch meinen, dass die Liebesgeschichte von William Shakespeare irgendwann einmal langweilig wird für die Theatermacher und Kulturschaffenden, denn immerhin stammt der Stoff aus den Jahren 1594-1596 und wurde seither unendlich viele…

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Book Cover Freebie!

I am not in the least bit sorry to say that I often DO judge a book by its cover.

I’m also not ashamed to say that I’ve been duped by some of them. Others have lived up to their splendid dressings, while others with covers I’ve disliked have ended up being far better than their packaging would have us assume.

Since I’ve never done one of these book cover lists, I’ll go with a countdown of the ones that tickled my fancy the most.

In 10th place the cover to “It’s. Nice. Outside.” by Jim Kokoris. Come on – isn’t it just too cute for words? And the book is great, too!

In 9th place I must say that I’m not sure why I loved the cover for T. Greenwood’s novel, “Keeping Lucy” but I just did!

In 8th place, I’ll go with the original cover to “Loving Frank” by Nancy Horan, which is a marvelous novel about the woman who was Frank Lloyd Wright’s mistress. What I love about this cover is that there are actual windows like this in one of the homes in Chicago that he designed, so I’ve actually seen this in real life! (By the way, Ms. Horan – where have you gone? It has been a while since your second novel. I’d love to read something new by you!)

  In 7th place I’m including both versions of Lily Prior’s novel “Nectar,” which are equally luscious, together with the delicious cover of her her first novel “La Cucina“!

  In 6th place I believe that both covers for “See What I Have Done” by Sarah Schmidt are both very evocative, and appropriate for this amazing novel.

  In 5th place, I’ll put my favorite covers for two of Joanne Harris’ books – “Chocolat” and “Five Quarters of the Orange” which are the ones I have on my shelf.

  In 4th place, I think both of these novels by Crystal King are stunning, although I think that I like “The Chef’s Secret” just a tiny bit more than I like “Feast of Sorrow” (and not surprisingly, that’s my assessment of these two books as well).

3rd place goes to the cover of “Ecstasy” by Mary Sharratt, because I just adore the Art Nouveau look to this, which is one of my favorite styles – both artistically and architecturally.

For 2nd place, how could I not include a cover with a Klimt portrait (on the left), which wasn’t the cover of the book I read (which is on the right). But it wouldn’t have mattered which of these I read, because “Signed, Mata Hari” by Yannick Murphy was such a fabulous novel, it didn’t matter how it was dressed.

  In 1st place, I include ALL of the book covers for one of my favorite authors, Jane Davis. I swear, she has the most evocative, expressive, and fascinating (in other words, kick-a** beautiful) cover art I’ve ever seen, and what’s inside is equally as amazing. If you’ve never read her books, you really must (and I really must read those I haven’t gotten to yet)! Of them, so far I’ve read “I Stopped Time,” “An Unknown Woman,” “Smash all the Windows,” and “My Counterfeit Self.”

What Book Covers are on this weeks list for you?

Ramblings: MacKinnon Is At It Again; Lundqvist Saves Another Fifty; Mikael Granlund – March 3

There was an update on Matt Murray in that he skated before the team did on Friday for practice. He did not take any shots as he recovers from his concussion but it’s nonetheless a good sign that he’s on the ice in full equipment. I’m sure they’ll be very cautious here so there’s no need to activate him from the IR anytime soon.

*

Evan Rodrigues missed Buffalo’s game Friday night with what the team is calling an upper-body injury. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious as he’d been pretty good for the Sabres of late, managing nine points in 13 February games. He had been centering the second line and was slotted on the top power-play unit. Kyle Okposo returned to the lineup for the Sabres and took the spot of Rodrigues on the first power-plays setup. We’ll pass along updates on Rodrigues when we see them.

*

Shea Theodore returned to the lineup following his injury/illness bouts of late. Not a moment too soon as Nate Schmidt appears to be a bit banged up. That should put a little more onus on Theodore offensively.

*

Both Micheal Ferland and Kris Versteeg close to returning as both Flames forwards skated in non-contact jerseys Friday afternoon with the team. After the game-day skate, coach Gulutzan intimated that Ferland will be back early next week.

I’m assuming that Ferland will return to the top line, allowing Sam Bennett to move down to the third line where he, Mark Jankowski, and Garnet Hathaway had found some success together. Just a heads up for Ferland owners that he will be activated shortly.

It’ll be interesting to see what the team does with Versteeg, in particular on the power play. The top unit looked good with Versteeg on it before his injury back in November. Do they go back to it? Does that bump a defenceman or a forward? There’s a lot still up in the air with this.  

*

Edmonton is looking for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to return to the lineup when the team hosts the Rangers on Saturday night. He has been out of the lineup since mid-January with an injury to his sternum. He had been enjoying a resurgent season with 16 goals in 46 games so the next month may go a long way in determining his ADP come September.  

*

New Jersey lost to Carolina, but Taylor Hall scored, extending his points streak. It’s just getting silly now:

Taylor Hall of the @NJDevils is the eighth different player in the last 30 years (since 1987-88) to record at least one point in 24+ consecutive appearances. #NHLStats #NJDvsCAR pic.twitter.com/CnvblPENVn

— NHL Public Relations (@PR_NHL) March 3, 2018

For those with an Athletic subscription that may have missed it, there was a good read on why Hall is a legitimate Hart Trophy contender this year. I know it’s a popular thought in some circles, but this lays out the numbers as to why. I recommend going through it.

*

Dressed in blue and he knew/ Where to go to that’s what he knows/ With finish mitts / A goal for Tanner Fritz.

I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t sneak some Taco into this Ramblings on a night where Fritz scored for the Islanders. Sue me.

He was lined up on the top line, by the way, and Cal Clutterbuck skated on the second line with Jordan Eberle missing the matchup. Though lines did change often.

Alex Galchenyuk led the way for the Habs in their 6-3 win over the Islanders, registering his second career hat trick and adding an assist for good measure. Noah Juulsen scored his first career goal, a rocket into the top corner from the point.

Max Pacioretty left the game in the third period and did not return while Victor Mete left the game in the first period with an apparent hand injury and did not return. We didn’t get an update on Pacioretty but the team did say that Mete was sent back to Montreal for further evaluation.

*

Winnipeg’s first goal of the night was the 32nd on the season from Patrik Laine, and it was… pretty good?

.@PatrikLaine29 stick-handles through multiple players to get this goal. pic.twitter.com/i7ESGCXDcM

— NHL GIFs (@NHLGIFs) March 3, 2018

That tally, by the way, moved Patrik Laine (68) past Ilya Kovalchuk (67) for goals by a teenager. He added his 69th later in the game.

Laine will obviously get the headlines for this performance, but Nikolaj Ehlers had 10 (!) shots on goal. He’s the first Jets played to have such a game this season. I talk about him a little later in these Ramblings. Well, maybe not talk about him. Gush over him? We’ll go with that.

*

Aleksander Barkov scored in Florida’s win over Buffalo, giving him goals in three straight and points in five straight (four goals and four assists in that span). He has 29 points in 24 games since the calendar turned 2018. Evgenii Dadonov had a couple of assists giving him three multi-point games in his last four.

*

For the first time in his career, Nathan MacKinnon has scored 30 goals. When he was drafted, this seemed an inevitability, though I’m not sure many would have guessed it would take five seasons. All the same.

Oh, the Avalanche just destroyed the Wild, by the way. Adding to his two goals, MacKinnon had three assists, giving him his second five-point game of the season. He has 76 points in 56 games. Lol.

Tyson Barrie had a goal and an assist, Mikko Rantanen had a goal and three assists, and Gabriel Landeskog had a goal. With his four-point game, Rantanen has 63 in 63 contests. Yes, he’s a point-per-game player now.

Man alive.

*

For the second game in a row, the Rangers allowed over 50 shots. For the second game in a row, Henrik Lundqvist saved at least 50 of them. This time, in Calgary, he allowed just one goal in the 3-1 victory. That was his 10th game this year with at least 40 shots faced meaning he needs three more to tie Jonathan Bernier for most 40+ shot games in a season since the 2012 lockout.

Since you’re all probably wondering:

Henrik Lundqvist is the first goaltender in NHL history (since saves were first tracked in 1955-56) to make 50 or more saves and earn a win in two consecutive games. #NYR

— NYR Stats & Info (@NYRStatsInfo) March 3, 2018

The only Flame without a shot on goal was Garnet Hathaway. Seven players had at least four.

By the way, Ryan Spooner had a goal and an assist in this contest, giving him seven points in three games since being traded from Boston. It’s a nice little run he’s on.

*

Craig Smith, Roman Josi, Scott Hartnell, and Yannick Weber were all “rested” by the Predators on Friday night in Vancouver. They played Thursday night in Edmonton and have an afternoon road game on Sunday so I guess it makes sense. If this becomes a habit league-wide, though, especially considering there’s over a month left in the season, this could get annoying fantasy-wise.

Mike Fisher, in his first game back with Nashville, kicked off the team’s comeback, scoring their first goal of the game. The Predators fell behind 2-0 and eventual won 4-3 in overtime despite the back-to-back and a lot of regulars sitting.

Alex Edler had a monster fantasy night with two assists (both on the power play), four shots, four blocked shots, and three hits.

Ryan Johansen was ejected in the middle of the third period for a spear to the, er, lower region of a Canucks forward. I imagine he’ll face some sort of supplemental discipline.

*

We had a wild game in Vegas, of course. The Golden Knights fired a couple third-period goals to tied the game at four apiece before a late goal from Alex Burrows put the Senators over the top.

William Karlsson scored his 35th of the season with Reilly Smith tallying his 22nd.

Erik Karlsson managed three assists for the Senators while Bobby Ryan had a goal and two helpers.

Matt Duchene scored for Ottawa, his 18th of the year, which is as many as he scored last year.

*

Even without Ryan Getzlaf in the lineup – he was a late scratch due to an illness – the Ducks dispatched of the Blue Jackets. Rickard Rakell and Cam Fowler both had a goal and an assists for Anaheim. Rakell added five additional shots and three hits to give himself a well-rounded fantasy performance.

Zach Werenski scored for the Jackets, his 12th of the season, surpassing last year’s total.

John Gibson returned to the lineup for the first time in nearly three weeks and stopped 34 of 36 shots in the win.

Just for giggles: the Coyotes (11) have more wins than Columbus (10) since Christmas.

*

It seems weird to me that Mikael Granlund went from “can he score 10 goals a year” to “well, he’s perennially a 25-goal threat now” and it’s something we don’t discuss very much. Allow me to change that.

First things first, he obviously has been shooting more. His first three 82-game seasons are the three lowest shot rates of his career and his shot attempts per 60 minutes has climbed every year for four years. It’s not as if that’s uncommon for a young player but for a young player to give us three years of data, and suddenly start shooting more in his age-24 season, is a lot less common.

Granlund isn’t riding some sort of percentage binge, either. He shot 14.7 percent in 2016-17 but just over 8 percent at five-on-five. Even with the power-play shooting percentage decline (a bloated 29.2 percent in 2016-17 but down to 15.9 percent this year), he’s still right in line with his goals/game output (0.32) because of his power-play shot increase. Things have normalized and he’s still on a 26-goal/82-game pace. This is a very good sign.

About that power-play percentage spike. It’s worth noting where he was shooting from on the power play before 2016-17, what changed, and why that’s important. Here are his shot maps for each season from 2014-17 via HockeyViz.com:

See the change?

This year he has started shooting a bit more from the wings, hence the percentage decline (which was inevitable anyway). But he’s still getting his shots from the net-front, and his overall shot rate has gone up, so it’s not a huge concern.

Granlund is finally living up to the lofty expectations fantasy owners had for him all those years ago. By no means is he a roto stud; he’s still not a huge shot volume guy, he doesn’t take penalties, and he doesn’t do much in other peripherals. The production is there, though, and it should be there for years to come. That’s a significant deviation from where he was even two years ago and fantasy owners should be happy with that.

*

If they didn’t have an embarrassment of riches up front already, the addition of Paul Stastny made the Jets truly terrifying. Anytime Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers are justifiably slotted on the “third” line, you know you have depth.

This embarrassment of riches is proving to be a sort of problem for Ehlers, though.

Problem may be a bit strong. Going into Friday night, he sits at 25 goals on the year and he’s on pace to crack 60 points again. Considering it’s just his age-21 season and he’s already managed two 25-goal campaigns, it’s hard to say he has a problem. Ongoing issue, maybe?

The issue of course is the power play. He’s been stuck on the second unit for the majority of the year and there’s a clear delineation between the top quintet and the secondary one; this isn’t Toronto where there are two evenly-used units. Registering 12-15 power-play points is nothing to sneeze at but until he earns enough minutes to put up 20-plus consistently, Ehlers won’t reach his fantasy potential.

He does have pretty good company for five-on-five primary point scoring rate at five-on-five, though, since the start of last season:

*

Will Jakob Silfverberg ever find that next level in the fantasy game? His 82-game paces this year are 18 goals and 20 assists. That’s while playing 18:17 per game. Was 2016-17 – with 23 goals and 49 points – as good as it’s going to get? Playing on a checking line with a supposedly injured Ryan Kesler obviously isn’t helping. Without power-play time and being stuck in a checking role, though, can we realistically expect more than 20 goals and 40 points a season? Doesn’t seem like it.

*

Colour me intrigued on Matt Duchene. Going into Friday night, he had 23 points in 25 games so far in calendar 2018. When that happens to a guy that normally doesn’t score at that rate, something is usually amiss percentage-wise. Well, in that span, the team shot 9.5 percent with him on the ice at five-on-five. He had three seasons in Colorado over 10 percent and another season over 9 percent, so it’s not extreme. He was shooting 15.2 percent himself at all strengths over that span, which is high for him, but he has never finished a season below 10 percent and had a 15 percent season in 2015-16. So maybe a bit high personally, but not by much? He also wasn’t among the leaders from their forwards in power-play points per minute or on-ice shooting. This is just a really solid stretch of production and there’s not much out of line.

Again, colour me intrigued.

Black Mount Rise meldet sich zurück

Nach langem turbulentem Werdegang zum zweiten Album meldet sich Black Mount Rise zurück. Ihr Debüt Album Curtains Falls sorgte vor knapp vier Jahren bei mir für einiges an Aufregung. Da hatte sich doch tatsächlich eine Schweizer Band die Dienste von Anette Olzon gesichert und mit ihr den Song Apart & Astray eingespielt. Als grosser Nightwish und Anette Fan,  durfte ich mir diesen Song nicht entgehen lassen und entdeckte so ganz nebenbei eine neue grossartige Band.

Wie eingangs geschrieben, war in den letzten Jahren mächtig was los im Lager von Black Mount Rise. So ist von der damaligen Besetzung nur noch Gründer und Kopf der Band, Yannick Schmidt übrig geblieben. Neu in der Band sind an der Gitarre Sandro Schmutz (Six Pack), am Bass Sven Cotting (Five Past Eight) und am Schlagzeug Adrian Mahler (Perspective Shifts). Seit Ende 2018 wurde am Nachfolgealbum gewerkelt, welches am 28.02.2020 seinen Release feiern wird im Nouveau Monde in Fribourg. Für die Aufnahmen griff man auf altbewährtes zurück und ging erneut nach Hamburg zu Eike Freese, selber Sänger und Gitarrist bei der zur Zeit im Winterschlaf liegenden Dark Age (hat übrigens auch auf Kai Hansens XXX-Three Decades in Metal Gitarre gespielt).

Wie Black Mount Rise in der Konzertankündigung zum Release schreiben, präsentieren sie mit ihrer neuen Scheibe ein Orchester an Alternative Rock, mitreissend wie kontrastreich, nackenschmerzend wie melancholisch. Über elysische Höhenflüge hinweg in die Tiefen dunkler Wogen nimmt einen das Quartett auf eine verzerrt vertonte Odyssee der Nostalgie mit und zeigt, wie Alternative Rock wirklich zu klingen hat. Krachende und schnittige Riffs verschmelzen mit hymnenartigem Gesang zu einem hochprozentigen und dynamischen Rockgemisch, das so schnell keiner vergisst. Mit ihrem neuen Album ist Black Mount Rise zurück und dies hungriger denn je.

Das Album wird wie erwähnt Ende Februar erscheinen als kleiner Vorgeschmack hat die Band aber vor Wochenfrist bereits die erste Single mit zugehörendem Video zum Song Sundown Boulevard veröffentlicht. Nach Durchhören des Songs freu ich mich jetzt schon auf das Album. Black Mount Rise haben sich wirklich rund erneuert und kommen mit neuer Härte zurück und präsentieren hier schon mal ein messerscharfes Riffmonster.

Bayern Munich's Thiago set for Wolfsburg comeback

Runaway leaders Bayern Munich[1] will look to make it 10 league wins in a row, perhaps boosted by the return of midfielder Thiago[2], when they travel to struggling Wolfsburg[3] on Saturday (15:30 CET/14:30 GMT).

Latest

The Wolves have lost their bite in recent weeks, toothless in a 1-0 DFB Cup defeat at Schalke[4], and then suffering a costly 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen[5] last weekend. Belgian striker Divock Origi[6] was only used as a substitute in the latter game, but the home side’s joint-top goalscorer this season is likely to be recalled this weekend. The club have confirmed, however, that Marcel Tisserand and Yannick Gerhardt, whose sister Anna plays for Bayern’s Women, will be out for several weeks through injury.

Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes should be back on the bench this weekend after missing the 2-1 win over Schalke with a cold[7], but the defending champions will be without suspended midfielder Arturo Vidal[8]. That could mean a return from injury for Thiago, with Heynckes saying prior to the Schalke game that he was considering playing the Spaniard from the start against Wolfsburg. However, the treble-winning coach insisted that he would not risk the midfielder at all if he wasn’t completely ready. Heynckes could, however, choose to make use of his squad and rotate in this fixture ahead of their UEFA Champions League last-16 first leg against Besiktas.

Watch:Highlights of Bayern’s 6-0 victory in Wolfsburg to seal the title last season

Probable line-ups

Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh (c), Bruma, Knoche, William – Guilavogui, Arnold – Malli, Mehmedi, Brekalo – Origi Absentees: Brooks (knee), Blaszczykowski (back), Camacho (ankle), Tisserand (hamstring), Didavi (tonsil infection), Gerhardt (ankle) Coach: Martin Schmidt

Bayern: Ulreich – Kimmich, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba – Martinez, Thiago – Robben (c), James, Ribery – Lewandowski Absentees: Neuer (foot), Vidal (suspended) Coach: Jupp Heynckes

Match stats

Wolfsburg suffered their heaviest Bundesliga defeat in last season’s corresponding fixture, a game Bayern won 6-0.

Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski famously scored five goals in nine minutes in a 5-1 demolition of Wolfsburg on 22 September 2015.

Thomas Müller became the fastest player to reach 200 Bundesliga victories, with his match-winning strike against Schalke. He has now scored 101 goals in 275 Bundesliga appearances, while Bayern have never lost when he has been on target.

Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is set to make his 200th Bundesliga appearance.

The 2-2 draw between Bayern and Wolfsburg on Matchday 6 was Carlo Ancelotti’s final game as Bayern head coach. That was the only home game in any competition this season the Bavarians have failed to win.

Wolfsburg head coach Martin Schmidt has only lost one of his last four Bundesliga meetings with Bayern. The Swiss tactician is set to make his 100th Bundesliga appearance as a coach.

New Post has been published on https://www.madpicks.com/sports/soccer/3-things-learned-atletico-madrids-4-2-victory-bayer-leverkusen/

3 things we learned from Atlético Madrid’s 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen

Diego Simeone’s side are on the brink of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Atlético Madrid are well on their way to the Champions League quarterfinals, having netted four away goals in a 4-2 victory at Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. Though it wasn’t all plain sailing for Diego Simeone’s men, their clinical counter attacking proved too much for a struggling Leverkusen defense, and they’re now all but in the next round.

The hosts made a bright start to the match, but it proved nothing more than a false dawn. They failed to create a single clear-cut chance in spite of a smart spell of possession, and Atléti fired their first warning shot on the counter attack after nine minutes: Yannick Carrasco’s low cross from the right had to be diverted to safety by the quick-thinking Charles Aránguiz.

What initially looked like a momentary lapse was soon revealed to be a structural weakness, with Atléti consistently taking advantage of the space in behind Leverkusen’s fullbacks. Griezmann drew the first save from Bernd Leno after 12 minutes, shortly before a Filipe Luis cross was thwacked against the crossbar by Leverkusen’s own defender Wendell.

Not even a quarter of the game had gone and an Atléti goal looked inevitable. So it proved. Just two minutes after Wendell had narrowly avoided diverting the ball into his own goal, Atléti’s Saúl completed the job. He rode a clumsy Kevin Kampl challenge out on the right before skipping onto his left foot and arcing a perfect shot over Leno and under the crossbar.

It took less than 10 minutes for the visitors to add a second, and it came in embarrassingly simple fashion. A long ball over the top was misread by Leverkusen defender Aleksandar Dragović; Saúl pounced and drove towards goal, eventually laying off for Antoine Griezmann to slot home. Leverkusen looked at risk of complete collapse.

They managed to keep their halftime deficit to just a couple, but only thanks to some smart work from Leno. Griezmann looked certain to add a third after taking receipt of a low Kévin Gameiro cross from point-blank range, though the German shot-stopper pulled off an unlikely triumph in the one-on-one and kept the scoreline respectable.

Leverkusen needed to produce a big reaction early in the second half, and against all odds, they did. Inside five minutes Kampl played a killer pass to Benjamin Henrichs, whose drilled cross was flicked inside the far post by Karim Bellarabi. All of a sudden, the home crowd had some small reason for optimism.

However, football is a cruel game, and it took just 10 minutes for Atléti to restore their two-goal cushion with a third away goal. Wendell’s inexplicable absence on the left side of Leverkusen’s defense forced Dragović into a clumsy intervention on Gameiro in the area. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, and the Frenchman stepped up to convert himself.

Atléti were cruising, and so were left kicking themselves when they gifted Leverkusen a second with just over 20 minutes left. It was less the result of attacking ingenuity than defensive calamity, with backup goalkeeper Miguel Ángel Moyà pushing a harmless low cross against teammate Stefan Savić. The ball bounced back off the Montenegrin and straight into the back of the net: Leverkusen were back in with a shout.

They piled forward in search of an equalizer, though paid a cruel price with just five minutes remaining. Atléti substitute Fernando Torres nodded a Šime Vrsaljko cross home from close range to all but kill the tie on the counter attack. Despite their fleeting promise, Leverkusen could have few complaints.

3 Things

1. Bayer Leverkusen paid the price for a poor defensive shape

Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt is often praised for his expansive style of football, but the home crowd certainly wouldn’t have been impressed with their performance this evening. Though they were always likely to find life difficult against an Atléti team renowned for their defensive strength, there was no excuse for Leverkusen’s abject defensive display. Fullbacks Benjamin Henrichs and Wendell were positioned far too high up the pitch, leaving central defenders Ömer Toprak and Aleksandar Dragović each having to do the job of two men. Against one of the top counter-attacking teams in Europe, it was never going to end well. Antoine Griezmann and Kévin Gameiro ran the channels expertly, and created three or four clear-cut chances from wide positions in the first half alone. Schmidt’s tactics were naive at best, and plain arrogant at worst.

2. Atléti will be relieved when they have key players back

Atléti headed into this match without three of their first-choice back five: goalkeeper Jan Oblak was only fit enough to make the bench, while neither talismanic center back Diego Godín, nor veteran fullback Juanfran were included in Diego Simeone’s matchday squad. Though they remained largely sturdy throughout this game, ceding few clear-cut chances to Leverkusen, they still ended up managing to concede twice. The calamitous circumstances of the second will certainly have supporters praying for recoveries in advance of the second leg.

3. Saúl has quietly emerged as one of Europe’s best

One of the players who tends to be on Simeone’s team sheet whatever the weather is midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, who turned in another excellent performance in this match. Given that he’s featured so regularly for Atléti over the last couple of seasons, it’s easy to forget he’s still only 22, and has only been capped once by Spain. Once again in this match he showed his quality, capping an energetic and creative performance with a stunning goal. He may well be in the process of quietly establishing himself as one of Europe’s most capable attacking midfielders.
