During the holidays and the winter break, almost in all national leagues, the Goal.com portal announced eleven footballers who have surpassed other players this season in the "Bundesliga" championship. In goal - "Freiburg" player Roman Burki. The Swiss, who fought for a place in the starting lineup alongside Sebastian Mielitz during the preseason, justifies the trust expressed by head coach Christian Streich. The 24-year-old footballer is currently playing impressively. The defensive line is led by "Augsburg" captain Paul Verhaeghas. The Dutchman not only plays reliably in front of his own goal this season, but also managed to score five goals and provide two assists. Jerome Boateng of "Bayern" Munich, unlike other world champions, is demonstrating even better form in the first half of the season. Speaking about the performance of this player, Bayern strategist Pep Guardiola said: "He may be the best defender in the world." 32-year-old Naldo forms one of the most reliable center-back duets with Robin Knoche. The Brazilian is an excellent obstacle in stopping opponents' attacks. In addition, the veteran managed to score five goals. In the defensive midfielder position - Xabi Alonso, who was acquired by "Bayern" Munich at the last minute. The Spaniard is playing almost perfectly. After arriving in Germany, the former Real Madrid player immediately began to improve records. It is enough to mention that Alonso became the player who touched the ball the most times in one game. He managed to do this a total of 204 times. Kevin De Bruyne is currently the player with the most assists. The "Wolfsburg" defender already has ten to his name. The Belgian also scored three goals himself. It is not surprising that De Bruyne is already linked with a return to the Premier League, with interest shown by Manchester City. Another defender in this symbolic team is Karim Bellarabi from Leverkusen's "Bayer". The very fast right winger contributed to his team's victories with eight goals and four assists. Meanwhile, another representative of "Bayern" Munich, Thomas Muller, regardless of which position he plays, always seems reliable. In 15 matches, the German managed to score seven times and create five opportunities for his teammates. The safe lineup is completed by Arjen Robben, who continues to demonstrate excellent form since the World Cup. Despite minor injuries, the winger scored ten goals and provided two assists in 12 matches. The attacking duo consists of Alexander Meier from Frankfurt's "Eintracht" and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, representing Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke". The former is the most efficient "Bundesliga" player with 13 accurate shots. "Meier is always where the ball falls," said the player's team coach. His partner in the attack, who came to "Schalke" from "Mainz" for a bargain, demonstrates incredible form. Choupo-Moting has already scored nine goals and created five opportunities for his team. The head coach of the symbolic eleven is Pep Guardiola, whose Bayern team is already 11 points ahead of "Wolfsburg", who are in second place.
