| 0:46.5 | My name is Joe Lowry, and on this episode, we're talking about rondos. |
| 0:51.7 | We're going to go over what a rondo is and why it's useful. But first, actually, |
| 0:56.9 | we're going to talk about spying. Back in December of 2018, Verda Bremen and Hoffenheim were preparing |

| 1:56.8 | Rondos as a part of his regular rotation of training exercises. Now in charge of R.B. Leipzig, |
