After matchday 16, LigaInsider takes a look at the most active defensive players in the Bundesliga. Who had the most successful defensive actions before Christmas?
Heidenheim’s captain Patrick Mainka stood out as a rock on Wednesday evening. The 29-year-old took the place in the sun with 20 successful duels. He also received a pre-Christmas present of a contract extension until 2027 and a last-minute win against Freiburg (3-2).
Werder’s captain Marco Friedl also played a good game in the 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig. 17 successful defensive actions mean second place in the ranking in this category.
John Anthony Brooks from TSG Hoffenheim once again experienced a turbulent evening in the 3-3 draw against newly promoted Darmstadt. 16 successful defensive actions speak for him, but the result of conceding three goals after leading three times does not. Dominik Kohr from Mainz 05 was exactly the same: the trained six was deployed in the back three in the 1-1 draw against BVB and achieved the same value as Brooks, which meant shared third place.
