The start of the Bundesliga is getting closer and closer: While the second division begins the season on Friday with the game between Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV, there are only 25 days left in the German upper house before the ball rolls again. The clubs only have 18 days to go before they start the competitive game in the DFB Cup. If you consider that the top clubs in particular will only start training this week with the EM drivers, there is not much time left to rehearse processes and automatisms for the coming season.
