Player(s) to watch:
- Vincenzo Grifo has proved that you cannot buy experience while playing professionally in the beautiful game. Grifo is a versatile player who can operate from the flank, and take on defenders on will. So far, he has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 18 Bundesliga games.
- Harry Kane has continued this season where he ended the last. Unstoppable beast. There were doubts in Munich, if he could fit in the great shoes of Lewandowski. But, boy, he has done it in style. He already has 16 goals and six assists in just 16 league games. There’s surely more to come with the second half of the season up and running.
