Hello everybody and welcome back to the Football Vision podcast. I'm your host Phil Costa and congratulations are in order.

We made it through the last international break of this season. But that also means nonstop football

for what feels like every three days. So with that in mind, make sure you've got us into your weekly

routines as there are some great guests and episodes planned as we head towards the business end of the campaign.

Thanks for being here and enjoy the show.

For this week's episode, we've got journalist Matt Ford in the hot seat, who you can find writing for Elfroinder, Guardian Sport, the IPaper and United We Stand, among others.

But more importantly, has a sharp focus on the Bundesliga, which will be

extremely useful for today's episode as we take a deep dive into Bio-Lavikuzen. Matt, welcome to the show.

How's it going? Good evening, yeah, thanks for having me. All good here, thanks. It's nice to have you.

I mean, I've been in Germany for six years now out here in Berlin, but my

Bundesliga knowledge has maybe waned in the last couple of years. So even when I was researching

this topic, I was like, right, I need somebody in here who's going to know their stuff. And yeah,

it's really good to have you here. I must admit, this was a topic I've been flirting with for some

weeks now, but was always

hesitant to push the red button, basically, because of how strongly Jabbi Alonzo was being linked

with an exit. I didn't know whether he was going to be announcing that now or at the end of the

season. So it was, it was almost like a halfway house, but now seems as good a time as any to

give this manager

and this team the spotlight.

And you've been following them quite closely this season.

What has that been like, you know, following them around Germany, even beyond?

Is there a sense of watching history unfold here?
