The Bayern Munich wins the Bundesliga title for the sixth consecutive season
For the sixth consecutive season, Bayern Munich has been crowned champions of the Bundesliga, which will end today with the dispute of its last matchday. The Bavarians, who started the season with some doubts and even sacked Carlo Ancelotti, regained their strength under Jupp Heynckes and have ended up winning the title a month in advance.
Development of talented players in the 2017-2018 season
Although it has not been an excessively brilliant campaign due to the inconsistent performance of the Munich rivals - Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, or RB Leipzig -, the 2017-2018 season has served to confirm the growth of several players who can play an important role in the future. Although the selection has not been easy, at Fichajes.com we have selected:
Mark Uth (TSG Hoffenheim)
The fact that TSG Hoffenheim is in a position to play European competitions with this last matchday (including the Champions League) is not only due to the great work of acclaimed coach Julian Nagelsmann, but is also related to the extraordinary performance of this powerful forward (185 cm) who, in addition to his scoring efficiency (14 goals) or finishing ability, also stands out for his ball handling skills and versatility (can play as a winger or attacking midfielder). Former Cologne or Heerenveen player will play for Schalke 04 next season, as they took advantage of the fact that his contract with TSG was expiring in June to secure his signing in January.
Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen)
Although he had already shown flashes of his quality during his time at Racing Genk, it was not until this season that Jamaican player has been able to unleash his undeniable talent. After being signed in January 2017 and having a rather gray first half year, the player has managed to adapt to the German tournament and show himself as a fast and skillful winger capable of generating danger on both sides of the attack. His 12 goals and 6 assists in the 33 games played speak loud and clear of his influence on the team and justify the interest of top clubs such as Manchester United, AC Milan, Juventus, or Manchester City in signing him.
Santiago Ascacíbar (Stuttgart)
After regaining their category, Stuttgart needed to build a solid squad that would avoid further disappointments and help them recover their natural place in the Bundesliga. Perhaps for this reason, the board did not hesitate to recruit a player as complete and reliable as Santiago Ascacíbar. The Argentine, at just 21 years old, had signed two good seasons with Estudiantes and hardly needed time to adapt to the team at Mercedes-Benz-Arena and establish himself as one of the key pieces in midfield. A classic defensive midfielder who stands out for his commitment and good judgment, the small-sized player seems destined to have a long and successful career in European football.
