Bundesliga Team Of The Week: Round 12
................. Nikolov
Galindo Kukielka Eggimann Beck
Kießling Zé Roberto Barbarez Epalle
...............Gekas Olic
Goalkeeper:
1) Oka Nikolov (Frankfurt)
Nikolov came in to replace regular first-choice keeper Markus Pröll, who was suffering from a fever, and stepped up to the mark with aplomb. His save from Luca Toni after 13 seconds set the tone for the afternoon as he went on to pull off a number of important saves to keep Bayern at bay. It was only the second game of the season that Bayern were held scoreless, and great credit for that goes to stand-in keeper Nikolov.
Defenders:
2) Aaron Galindo (Frankfurt)
Mexican defender Galindo, making his first start of the season, showed no nerves or rustiness against the potent Bayern attack. Alongside Chris in the centre of the Frankfurt back line, he managed to keep the likes of Klose, Toni and Ribéry at bay.
3) Mariusz Kukielka (Cottbus)
Kukielka was a rock at the back for Cottbus as they secured their first win of the season against Schalke. Admittedly Schalke were rather disappointing as an attacking force, but whatever threat they did pose, Kukielka was on hand to snuff out.
4) Mario Eggimann (Karlsruhe)
KSC got back to winning ways with a 1-0 win over MSV Duisburg and it was defender Eggimann who got the all-important goal. His headed goal from Tamas Hajnal’s free kick secured Karlsruhe’s first win in four games to secure their place in the top five.
5) Andreas Beck (Stuttgart)
Making only his second start of the season, Andreas Beck helped secure Stuttgart’s second win in succession. Is this a coincidence? The 20 year old full back is certainly looking to take full advantage of the chance handed to him by Armin Veh.
Midfielders:
6) Zé Roberto (Bayern Munich)
Zé Roberto is fast becoming Bayern’s most consistent performer. His role in midfield is a multi-facetted one, with the Brazilian combining his defensive duties with joining in the attacks when possible. He was one of Bayern’s most prominent attacking players against Frankfurt.
7) Stefan Kießling (Bayer Leverkusen)
Kießling was on top form again against Bielefeld as Bayer chalked up a 4-0 win. He capped a fine performance by laying on the fourth goal for Sergej Barbarez.
Sergej Barbarez (Bayer Leverkusen)
Two goals and two assists in a 4-0 win was not a bad days work for Leverkusen’s veteran midfielder. With Bernd Schneider still out injured, much responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of Bosnian international Sergej Barbarez. He opened the scoring in the 9th minute and completed the rout in the 80th minute with his second of the game.
9) Joel Epalle (Bochum)
Epalle produced his best performance against Wolfsburg in their 5-3 win. The Cameroon attacking midfielder set up both of Stanislav Sestak’s goals and then capped a fine game with his side’s fifth goal of the afternoon.
Forwards:
10) Theofanis Gekas (Bayer Leverkusen)
Last season’s Bundesliga top scorer Theofanis Gekas showed signs against Bielefeld of his form from last season. Two goals within the space of five minutes at the end of the first half put Michael Skibbe’s side in full control. The Greek striker has now hit 6 goals in 11 games.
11) Ivica Olic (Hamburg)
Olic was a constant threat in the side of Hertha Berlin as HSV as the home side moved to within two points of leaders Bayern Munich. The Croatian forced the opening goal when his shot could only be parried by keeper Drobny, with Guerrero on hand to put Huub Stevens’ side 1-0 up.
Honourable mentions:
Hugo Almeida continues to find the net for Werder Bremen. Guy Demel and Rafael van der Vaart impressed in Hamburg’s 1-0 win over Hertha, while Stanislav Sestak’s double against Wolfsburg deserves praise.
Sergio Pinto was again on top of his game for Hannover against Dortmund. Grafite scored twice for Wolfsburg, although that was not enough to beat Bochum.
Mario Gomez’ goal against Nürnberg proved decisive, while Hans Meyer should be pleased with the performance of Zvjezdan Misimovic.
