Brentford have completed their first signing of the summer with the capture of defender Jannik Schuster from RB Salzburg for a fee in the region of £16million. Schuster is an Austria Under-21 international and has made 29 appearances for Salzburg this season, including three in the Europa League. He has signed a five-year deal at the Gtech Community Stadium and continues Brentford's policy of signing young players and developing them.
Eberl divided opinions among the fans after some dubious decisions in the summer window, but the 52-year-old has proved that most of his decisions were vindicated. Luis Diaz has been arguably one of the signings of the season in entire Europe, while the decision to not continue with Nicolas Jackson appears to be a smart one. Eberl can also a big credit for convincing Dayot Upamecano to sign a new long-term contract at Bayern earlier this year.
I think we also deserved it today. We were very dominant in the second half, we've earned it over the whole season. I'm just proud of the team because everyone gave their all today and we stayed patient until the end - and also showed what we're capable of. Wolfsburg were very compact, which was annoying for us. They played with five at the back. We had problems with that in the last match that Wolfsburg won against us; you just have to be patient. In the second half, the spaces opened up and obviously that presents more opportunities.
A Bayern employee (a supporter liaison officer) was attacked by a group of 1860 Munich hooligans last weekend, after Bayern's basketball game against Oldenburg, together with his wife. According to the police report, he was attacked by five men, approximately 20 years old, wearing blue neck gaiters. The target of the attack was the employee's banner, well-known within the fan scene, bearing the inscription "Red Munichs." He was kicked repeatedly, and a person who rushed to help was pushed onto traffic.
