FC Bayern: Lewandowski is not in Cologne – Flick with numerous alternatives to offense

First report of October 30:
Munich – In the offensive area, there is hardly a team in Europe that can match Bayern Munich at the moment. For one thing, there Robert Lewandowski, Goalkeeper on duty and “Footballer of the year” from Europe. On the other hand, it is worth noting the wing pincers, which in the champions record not only consist of two regular stars:

As a worthy successor to “Robbery” there are four renowned world-format professional footballers on the roster who act very dangerously on the offensive flanks: the ManCity newcomer Leroy Sané, CL final scorer Kingsley coman, Serge gnabry and finally Douglas Costa, Returned from Juventus from Turin.

FC Bayern: four known wingers in the squad, plus Thomas Müller

What annoys opposing defenses doesn’t always make your own team happy – after all, these four protagonists also fight for playing times and the starting eleven. Luckily for Hansi Flick, who can currently make the most of this part of the team.

With regard to the upcoming Bundesliga duel at 1. FC Köln, this raises the question of which two FCB players can play on the wings from the start. After the statements of coach Hansi Flick on the day of the PK game, we can assume that Newcomer from Summer Sané From the beginning on the lawn of the Cologne Arena he says:

With the Thomas Müller all-purpose offensive weapon, there is even a professional on the team who can also perform in the band, as was the case on Wednesday when he won against Moscow locomotive. Bayern Munich’s packed schedule of matches pushes players to their limits, so some FCB professionals will be happy with one break or another. Also, Gnabry is likely to attack.

FC Bayern Munich challenged away from 1. FC Cologne: Two established players missing

In the away game against 1. FC Köln, Munich’s runner-up points to the eighth consecutive mandatory win. The triple coach can draw on unlimited resources in a duel against table 16. But no: with a shooting star Alphonso davies Y Corentin Tolisso two proven forces are not available.

The young Canadian had to be replaced after a few seconds against Frankfurt last weekend and FC Bayern lost even more. So it’s good that the world champions Lucas Hernandez He can step into the gap and has already performed well as a left back in recent weeks. On the opposite right side of the defense, a bet of Bouna sarr instead of Benjamin Pavard by conceivable.

In central defense, in all probability Jerome boateng Y David Alaba get the preference Niklas Süle on the other hand, you will first see the game from the edge of the field.

Tolisso is absent from Markus Gisdol’s team due to a red card penalty. In the center of the field it could be that the players defeated in Moscow were replaced Leon Goretzka Y Thomas muller don’t start from the beginning. Here I would be on the defensive with Javi martinez Y Marc Roca two available Spanish strategists who could go on the offensive Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting jump into the gap. (FP)

FC Bayern Munich’s expected line-up at 1. FC Cologne

Neuer – Sarr, Boateng, Alaba, Hernandez – Kimmich, Goretzka – Sané, Müller, Gnabry – Lewandowski
