German record champion Bayern Munich struggled with defensive woes after their second loss of the season in the Bundesliga. “We were punished for three unnecessary turnovers. You must not make these mistakes,” said coach Hansi Flick after the 2: 3 (2: 2) loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach after a two-goal lead: “We will make one or too many other mistakes. We need more concentration on defensive work. “
Flick struggles with his defense
After the lead of Robert Lewandowski (20th, hand-held penalty after video evidence) and Leon Goretzka (26th), the guests turned the ball over in advance, which Jonas Hofmann’s Gladbachers (35th, 45th + 1 ) and Florian Neuhaus (49.) were coldly punished. “We lost the ball too easily on the forward movement,” Thomas Müller said on Sky.
Flick found another approach to conceding goals 22-24: Bayern had conceded more at this point in the 1981/82 season (25). “But you also have to protect the depths. With the first goal we came out too early instead of protecting. You have to go with the second goal, then nothing happens,” Flick said. Both complaints were directed at Niklas Süle, who made a bad pass before conceding the third goal.
Bayern are now threatened with losing their advantage. RB Leipzig can go ahead with a win against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night (6.30pm / Sky).
