The triple trainer had previously reacted puzzled and almost upset when asked if the many failures were due to potential fitness issues.
Flick explanation: “Currently, there are many injuries. Not only here, but everywhere. The places are getting deeper, like today. It is not so easy to avoid injuries.”
Flick can do without some stars against Atlético de Madrid
Next Tuesday, Bayern will have to play the fifth day of the Champions League at Atlético de Madrid (Champions League: Atlético Madrid – FC Bayern, Tuesday from 9:00 p.m. on LIVETICKER). It is good that the Munich team is already secured in the first place of the group. Flick will be forced to arrive with a B team and dispense with other stars due to the high stress of recent weeks, as the main match against RB Leipzig awaits at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. (Bundesliga match calendar)
Possible eleven starting candidates in Madrid: Alexander Nübel, Niklas Süle and Jamal Musiala. Marc Roca is not an option due to his yellow-red card. Tanguy Nianzou, who debuted in the Bundesliga in Stuttgart, is not registered in the premier class.
Bayern are not only plagued with injuries. The four currently vulnerable corridors are also causing problems. Against Stuttgart, the Flick-Elf allowed a lot on defense, but the promoted team punished numerous errors by FCB only once. You can still trust Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski.
Flick (“We don’t get a beauty award right now”) is aware of current defensive deficits, but remains calm: “Game, regeneration, final training, it goes on and on. There is no place to really train with the team. accept the conditions. Whoever accepts them best will have the greatest success. We want to be. “
The Bayern coach continued: “I know the team is on the edge at the moment, but we don’t want to complain. It’s important for us to score points and not leave anything behind.”
