    Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann has lauded praise on Ishak Belfodil who has been on fire lately.

    The Algerian striker has netted five times in his last two games, but Nagelsmann says he isn't just making progress offensively.

    "Of course, Ishak is on a roll but the progress he has made defensively is enormous. He consistently tries to defend the counter and has improved his timing significantly. He's got real quality and you can see that in every game," Nagelsmann said, as quoted by the club.

    Hoffenheim are up against Hertha BSC in their next game on Sunday.
