Bayer Leverkusen wing-back duo Alex Grimaldo and Jeremy Frimpong are doing a great job on the team’s rise.
Leverkusen is by far the most sensational team in Europe this season. Leverkusen, with coach Xavi Alonso at the helm, has not lost a single game this season. Leverkusen is unbeaten in 31 official games for the 2023/24 season.
Grimaldo and Frimpong are at the center of it. “Grimaldo and Frimpong have teamed up for a total of 29 goals in the Bundesliga so far this season,” soccer statistics media “Squawk Football” said on its official SNS on the 11th (Korea time).
Grimaldo grew up with FC Barcelona’s youth team but failed to make his first team debut before moving to Portugal’s Benfica in January 2016. After seven and a half years with Benfica, he joined Leverkusen on a free agent in July last year. Grimaldo has developed in Alonso’s tactics. Grimaldo has eight goals and 10 assists in 21 league games in the 2023/24 season.
Frimpong moved from Celtic to Leverkusen in January 2021. He was in full swing last season under Alonso in producing attacking points. Frimpong scored eight goals and seven assists in 34 games in the 2022/23 season. His performance in the 2023/24 season is six goals and seven assists in 20 games.
Grimaldo and Frimpong also shone in their match against Bayern Munich, the “winner” of the club. Leverkusen had a 3-0 victory over Munich in the 21st round of the Bundesliga in the 2023/24 season at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany on Sunday.
Grimaldo hit the net with a left-footed shot from the left side of the penalty box in the fifth minute when Leverkusen was leading 1-0. Frimpong, who was substituted as a substitute, also helped. In the fifth minute of the second half, he took advantage of Manuel Neuer’s corner kick to score.
Leverkusen dominated Munich thanks to Grimaldo and Frimpong’s performances, and maintained its league lead with 17 wins and four draws (55 points). Leverkusen is five points shorter than runner-up Munich. Leverkusen, which has never won a Bundesliga title since its foundation in 1903, is seeking its first championship 꽁머니환전.
