Does the high-flying triple-season pilot suddenly have to worry about his usual spot?
Alphonso Davies played an important role in the success of FC Bayern Munich last season. As a left-back, he became a regular player in no time. With his tempo he dribbles and attends enchanted the world of football.
However, the super talent only sat on the bench when he beat Schalke 04 at the start of the Bundesliga and when he won the UEFA Super Cup final against Sevilla FC in extra time. Also because the 19-year-old is said to have suffered a slight bruise recently.
His backup: Lucas Hernández, a $ 80 million man who is rarely the center of attention in the triple season.
Flick, Bayern coach: “Lucas played very well”
The Frenchman already played well against the Royal Blues, against the Andalusians Hernández showed one of his strongest performances in a Bayern suit on Thursday night.
“I can see that too. Lucas played very well defensively,” Hansi Flick said. SPORT1-Demand. The coach explained why Davies was preferred again: “Lucas was more in rhythm and with the France team. He played there and did well against Schalke. That’s why we let him in.”
Hernández justified the confidence and became Bayern’s strongest player on the pitch against Sevilla. He also had the most ball conquests. He also noticed that he became more and more confident in his actions and no longer seemed as rushed as in parts of the previous season. His speed and technique were just as striking, although the 24-year-old interpreted this position a little more defensively and less spectacularly than Davies.
At 98 minutes it was over for the left foot. Plagued with cramps, Flick pulled him off the field and brought in Davies, whom he had originally planned as a prankster for Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry, so he could “go up with speed,” as Flick explained.
Will Davies be left out for now?

Alaba’s future is a deciding factor
FC Bayern will compete at TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday. (Bundesliga: TSG Hoffenheim – FC Bayern Munich Sun, from 3.30 pm on LIVETICKER)
There are currently no sporting reasons to retire Hernández as a left back. So it’s very possible that Davies will have to queue for now and Hernandez can work his way down the left in the last four, although he was actually booked as a central defender for Atlético de Madrid. However, there is David Alaba on the left, who continues to cause a stir with his hesitations in contract poker and disappointed against Sevilla.
If Alaba surprisingly leaves Bayern this or next summer, Hernández should be the main alternative in central defense at the latest. Probably not before.
Hernández still has a contract with Munich until 2024. However, due to a season opening he needed for himself (only 25 competitive games with an average of 45 minutes of playing time), he was recently restless. In an interview in France, he said he would have to see how things go if things “continue to be so difficult” for him at Bayern. Paris Saint-Germain should be on him.

It gets more complicated at the moment for Flick, who has to choose between buying records apparently in the shape of Hernandez and the super talent Davies.
