December 30-the German media “footballer” recently rated the performance of players from various teams in the first half of the Bundesliga season. In the rating of defensive midfield position, there are seven players selected in the intercontinental level. Borussia Dortmund’s England international Bellingham leads the intercontinental class, while Bayern Munich’s Kimishi and Gretzka ranked second and third respectively.
World class:
Vacancy
Intercontinental level:
1. Jude Bellingham (Dortmund)
World class? Or is it world-class? The editorial team of the footballer discussed whether the 19-year-old Englishman had shown such a level. Consensus: Bellingham is world-class, but not yet on track. Whether it is the Champions League or England’s World Cup final 16 against Senegal, the young player’s performance on the pitch is difficult to surpass. Fearless and disciplined, he then conquered the ball, pushed forward energetically and emitted a new threat of goals, as evidenced by four goals in five Champions League games. He is a leader, but he tends to overreact. If he feels responsible for everything, then his game will become more vulnerable. He suppressed tactical guidelines with excessive enthusiasm, and his sometimes dramatic posture prevented him from returning to a calmer state. In short: only when Bellingham plays in a controllable way can he show his world-class level. In fact, he is only a teenager, and it is only a matter of time for Bellingham to be world-class. Another question is how long he will continue to play at Borussia Dortmund.
2. Joshua Kimishi (Bayern Munich)
So far, Joshua Kimishi’s season has been brighter than shadowy. Bayern No. 6 has improved his position and tactics, and although he still has the strongest running ability, he no longer runs on the whole pitch, which is obviously good for him. This season, Kimishi is the undisputed commander of Bayern Munich. However, when Bayern Munich was weak in the league in mid-September, the 27-year-old did not act as a stabilizer, thus undermining his good scoring per game, leaving a poor World Cup performance.
3. Leon Gretzka (Bayern Munich)
The bitter World Cup also dealt a heavy blow to Leon Gretzka. When the 27-year-old came back after knee surgery at the end of September, he scored almost every game, especially in the Champions League (5 appearances, 2 points and 2 goals).
Sebastian Roeder, Frankfurt
5. Xavier Schrager (RB Leipzig)
Endo Airlines (Stuttgart)
The 29-year-old Japanese is a key gentleman in Stuttgart, good at running and fighting, skilled and a role model in concentration. Was chosen as the leading player in the World Cup. Throughout the first half of the race, only Stuttgart’s 5-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund was weak.
Maximilian Arnold (Wolfsburg)
National foot level:
8. Ellis Skili (Cologne)
9. Nicholas Hoffler (Freiburg)
10. Lucas Tusar (Hertha, Berlin)
11. Lani-Khedira (Berlin United)
12. Gibrill-Sau (Frankfurt)
Dominic Cole (Mainz)
Players who are not on the list but worth watching:
Robert Andric (Leverkusen)
Saleh Ozjan (Dortmund)
The 24-year-old newcomer from Cologne was initially absent due to injury and then quickly found a way to integrate into Borussia Dortmund, but then a marked decline in performance, he is not the decisive factor in Borussia Dortmund.
