“Hit the ball!”
Jérôme Boateng has rarely been seen so angry, hardly heard so loud in recent weeks. (The game on the ticker to read)
What happened?
Davies puts Bayern defense under pressure
With a score of 3: 1 (final score 5: 1) against 1. FC Köln, Alphonso Davies put the Bayern defense in big trouble because they did not consistently clear a ball. (Bundesliga table)
Instead, there was a Cologne corner kick. In a phase where the Munich team could have been swimming with another goal.

Boateng said a few more words face-to-face to Davies in leading player form, before beginning seconds later to yell to fly the ball. The corner that followed was of no further consequence, as Boateng won the decisive head duel.
Davies misses the ball multiple times
Interesting: Shortly after Boateng’s angry call, Hansi Flick reacted, summoned Lucas Hernández to the exchange bench and changed the French record for Davies (72nd).
Flick didn’t want to read too much about the Davies substitution, just saying, “Alphonso Davies had very intense careers.” (All games and results)

However: Davies already had scenes in the first half in which he carelessly gave up the ball and started the Cologne counterattack. It has been on the rise in recent weeks and appears to have stabilized.
Hernández, who at the moment is anything but satisfied, since he only sat on the bench three times in a row, fit in well in the Bayern game. At 4-1, he delivered an exemplary cross to Serge Gnabry (82nd), who carried the ball into the goal at the far post.
Hernández can expect commitment
Who will play BVB on the left back next Saturday: Hernández or Davies?
If the 20-year-old Canadian is in top form, he will stay with Flick and the 2018 world champion will be his endorsement. If Davies is prone to making mistakes and wobbling in practice during the week, Hernandez should be able to look forward to a starting eleven.

On his substitution against Cologne, the Bayern coach said: “The option of having Lucas behind is good for us. It shows our quality in the different positions.”
