It was the great impact of the second day of the German Bundesliga! TSG Hoffenheim beat Bayern Munich 4: 1 in the home stadium (match report >>>).
Borussia Dortmund also had to surrender on Saturday with a 2-0 loss to FC Augsburg, but these results have not been seen recently by Bayern – after all, Bayern’s last bankruptcy in a competitive match dates back to December 7, 2019 back (1: 2 against Mönchengladbach).
Bayern coach Hansi Flick’s first statement is consequently sobering. “A big compliment to Hoffenheim. The team showed a very strong performance. They closed our rooms very well. We had few opportunities to play our offensive game as we normally do,” said Flick.
Bayern don’t want to “look for excuses”
The Bayern manager does not want to accept excuses such as Bayern’s busy schedule, which only played the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla FC on Thursday in Budapest.
“I don’t blame the loss on exhaustion. We just didn’t manage to seize our opportunities more purposefully, with the dynamism with which we normally can,” said the 3-point coach.
“There were many reasons for the loss. But in terms of commitment and willingness, I can’t blame the team at all. The mentality after 120 minutes on Thursday was great. We’re starting the game now,” Flick said, surprisingly. relaxed about the first loss in a competitive game in 2020.

Müller: “We deservedly lost”
Bayern captain Manuel Neuer agrees with his coach’s opinion. “We’re not looking for excuses right now. That just awaits us this year. There’s a game every few days. We as a team know what to expect. That’s why we can’t talk as much about the fact that we’re broken after the game.” we have to accept it. “
Thomas Müller also reacts a bit annoyed to the issue of wear. “The drums, of course, are not satisfied, but I don’t think it’s due to today’s physical stories. I think we had enough strength. We also brought some new strength, we don’t need to start the discussion.”
“All in all, we deservedly lost. We stuck with it. We gave it our all. You could see we wanted to take a bite, even if it got a bit chaotic at the end, but that’s okay too. Whether it was 2-1, 3-1. or lose 4: 1, it doesn’t matter in the end “, Müller tries to draw a line under the match.
Munich’s next game is already scheduled for next Wednesday, then Bayern will play the German Super Cup against runner-up Borussia Dortmund.
Hoeneß: “I really can do it”
While FC Bayern have been trying to find an explanation for months after their first loss, TSG Hoffenheim’s field is shocked to look at the scoreboard. “You just have to see that everything went well. It turned out as we imagined,” Hoffenheim head coach Sebastian Hoeneß said after the game.
Exactly that Hoeneß, who a few weeks ago was still the head coach of FC Bayern’s second team on the supervisors’ bench. The 38-year-old won the third league with Bayern fans, and also at Hoffenheim, his ideas seem to have paid off in just a few weeks. After all, the Sinsheimers laugh from the top of the table after two games.
“To be honest, the table means nothing to me after the second day of play. It will be a topic for the week, but the topic is irrelevant to us. It will be important for us to let out the joy today and take the feeling. we have what it takes, “says Hoeneß.
“A game steeped in history” for Hoffenheim
“Now it will be the art to prepare really well for Frankfurt, qualify for today’s game really well. We must not forget that Bayern had a game of more than 120 minutes. However, it was a great performance. In terms of success, it’s me. It is important to remain factual, analytical and clear. The same will happen in case of failure, “the Hoffenheim coach tries to correctly classify success.
TSG sporting director Alexander Rosen is also completely out of line after the surprising victory. “It was an outstanding afternoon, the 6030 who were there created the atmosphere as if they were 60,000. It was a very special moment, a very special story,” said Rosen.
“It is a game steeped in history for us. Especially if you consider that the last game in front of the spectators was against Bayern when we lost 6-0 and we had no chance,” said Rosen, referring to the last game at home. against Bayern at the time. but with a completely different ending.
