Douglas Costa’s statistics on his return to the league with FC Bayern are quite insignificant.
However, the Brazilian, who entered as a substitute 25 minutes before the end of the game at Arminia Bielefeld (4-1), was the big topic of conversation after the game.
The reason: on a free kick for Bielefeld – Corentin Tolisso had seen the red card shortly before – Costa was seen in an unusual pose.
Coast is behind the wall
Like a seal, Costa moved back and forth on the ground behind the free throw wall. He just didn’t know how to lie down to defend against a possible low shot from Bielefeld’s team.

Not surprisingly, he had never done that before at Bayern. “Usually that’s Joshua Kimmich’s job,” coach Hansi Flick said after Heaven with a smile.
Neuer: “He did well”
After changing positions several times, Costa was right. “In the end he did well,” Manuel Neuer later confirmed, and explained: “It is important that his hands are not in front so as not to cause a penalty. That has a bit of grace, I have to admit.”

The decisive point on the pitch was finally given by Lucas Hernández.
By the way, the free kick was not flat. Javi Martínez blocked Marcel Hartel’s shot with his head.
