Triumphs, goals conceded, cup in the second round!
FC Bayern experienced the temporary negative climax of the current season with the bankruptcy of Elfer in Holstein Kiel (7: 8). Currently there is no trace of the triple brightness of summer. The potential for frustration among players and officials is increasing: things are cracking up in Munich. (DFB Cup schedule)
Four reasons for the Bavarian crisis:
– Seven triple FC Bayern heroes are out of shape
Niklas Süle, Benjamin Pavard, Alphonso Davies, Lucas Hernández, David Alaba, Javi Martínez and Corentin Tolisso are far from their best form and in terms of dueling behavior, mileage and adjustment precision they have in some cases drastically worse values than in the season previous.
The lack of freshness is noticeable on the field: players can no longer implement the aggressive counterattack required by Hansi Flick, there is a lack of allocation and coordination in the last four. Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic in Kiel was visibly out of his composure when there were several positional errors: away from the camera, he kept shaking his head or clapping in front of his face.
– Roca, Sarr, Costa: Three new additions are incorrect purchases
Marc Roca, Bouna Sarr and Douglas Costa have yet to strengthen FC Bayern and hardly play a role on Flick. The problem: if you have time to work, like in Kiel, you can’t give any impulse and quit.
Plus: other than Leroy Sané, and even just rudiments, measured by potential, no newcomer has ever turned on at all. Tanguy Nianzou is permanently injured, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting barely has time to work behind Robert Lewandowski, as expected.
Transfer manager Salihamidzic has been unable to make up for the losses of Thiago, Ivan Perisic and Philippe Coutinho. The workforce has grown in size, but has decreased in quality compared to the previous year. Winter transfers should not follow yet.
– Weak defense: 31 goals conceded cause frustration
Bayern conceded 24 goals this season in the Bundesliga, five in the Champions League and two in the DFB Cup. Too much for the high demands of the people of Munich.
The coaching staff and players are currently unable to control defensive problems. For the first time in his successful tenure at Bayern, the questions for Flick are therefore more critical. He was asked Wednesday night if he also had a plan B. His short answer: “We don’t just have plan A and we can play differently. It’s not that we don’t worry.”
Also the tactical criticism of the world champions, Bayern-Idol and ARD-Expert Bastian Schweinsteiger when Fin Bartels tied (“Standing very, very high. That’s unnecessary”) Flick resolved: “We are heading 1: 1, we have to ensure depth. That has nothing to do with it. We stay upright. “

– Seven clubs decipher Bayern DNA
Holstein Kiel, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Union Berlin, RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, as well as Mainz 05 and VfB Stuttgart in the first half attacked Bayern with a constant and fast attack.
Flick has a back four very well defended. Therefore, more and more opponents rely on long balls and direct vertical passes to the interfaces of the FCB defense. Flick wants to maintain his offensive style of play despite his current form and mental depression, although according to his own statement he has already made adjustments in Kiel.
The problem: Bayern are currently too predictable. Kiel coach Ole Werner even admitted that his team’s 1-1 draw did not surprise him because he pointed out those gaps to his players: “This game situation was planned.” Flick also admitted with a view to this goal: “You know this pattern.” Thomas Müller said in frustration that people had been talking about those kinds of goals “for a long time.”
