In a matter of days, everything could collapse at Bayern Munich

If both teams could choose the starting eleven of their full frame, if all the players entering the field were rested and healthy, if both bases could have been ideally prepared for the tournament, if we did not know the term coronavirus, we could say with 70-80% certainty that Bayern Munich will practically clinch another championship title on Saturday night. But none of the things listed are happening at the moment, making it an inability to bet on the outcome of the biggest game of the season in the Bundesliga.

The big game is coming:

What these uncertainties do not contribute to is the past. The energy drink company, which has the same monogram as RasenBallsport, did not even know where Germany would form a soccer team, when Bayern Munich already had 21 championship titles, 14 German Cup victories, won the BEK / BL four times and only his biggest hits were discussed. When Bayern swept the BL cup for the fifth time in spring 2013 with astonishing production, Leipzig won the fourth division Regional League. To date, this is the only first place you can book. That is, he entered the top division from Bundesliga 3 in 2014 and Bundesliga 2 from second place in 2016. Since then he has been in the same league as Bayern. That means nine league games. Of these, four were won by the Bavarians, one by the Saxon corps and four became draws. In addition, in 2017 he defeated the young rival of the record champion in the second round of the German Cup, and an announcement later in the final. But the rapprochement between the two means that their last four league games end in a draw. You can also start from this by considering the odds, but it may not get you anywhere.

What we know for sure before the kickoff on Saturday night is beyond the past of the two teams that Due to his injury in Leipzig, he is still unable to introduce himself to Dominik Szoboszlai. He also cannot play due to Kevin Kampl’s five-yellow penalty, Marcel Halstenberg in quarantine and one of the most offensive full-backs in the Bundesliga, Angelino.

On the other hand, the other best attacking winger in the Bundesliga, Alphonso Davies, will miss the match due to an exhibition, with defending world champion Jerome Boateng for five yellow cards. Bayern’s biggest missing person will, of course, be Robert Lewandowski, who has been the world’s fittest footballer for over a year. Apart from his absence, it no longer seems to anyone that Tolisso and Costa were also injured among the attackers. On the other hand, he will be very prominent in defense if, in addition to Davies and Boateng, Nicklas Süle does not appear either. He had to travel home from the German national team due to injury, he will probably be there in some state at first, but it is out of the question that he will be able to play as a running back at the level expected of him.

Taking out those likely to be missing from the rosters, the two teams represent roughly the same playing power. At Bayern, whether Gnabry, Choupo-Moting, Müller play for Lewandowski or try Löw’s standard system, he will be a light-year away from his usual forward play. Also, there will be no one to bring this part of the team, due to the players that can be deployed here, only Musiala, 18, will be sitting on the bench and Choupo-Moting if he is not a starter. . Also among the defending professionals, only Javi Martínez will represent the quality of the substitutions, which means that Bayern will have to take down this fan with a maximum of 14 people.

And in case of defeat, the supporters (but even the leaders) of the Munich team will be able to argue about the responsibility of the sporting director Hassan Salihamidich, as he put together the framework. He put Sarr, Roca, Costa, Chuopo-Moting level footballers behind the point man 13-14. It is at the most important Bundesliga meeting of the year that these players must step up as shooters.

Leipzig will surely look better than the defending champion from minute 60. Because you can send Kluiver, Hwang, Poulsen, Sörloth and Samardzic to replace the possibly tired Sabitzer, Adams, Haidara, Olmo, Forsberg. Or you can start with the last one and import the first one instead. The five exchanges will now help the Leipzig Guard.

A large part of the members of the two teams participated in the European roadshow in recent days. Three qualifiers of national teams, a minimum of four flights to and from the hotel, stadiums, tests, combat opponents. The latter was the victim of Robert Lewandowski against Andorra. Four of his healthy teammates in the starting line-up (Kimmich, Goretzka, Sané and Gnabry) played in all three games for the German team. They were on the right track during the historic loss to North Macedonia on Wednesday. This is also special because the last two rarely play a match, but now before the super weird Joachim Löw managed to “get them to bed”. This will probably be especially appreciated by your old colleague Hansi Flick. him, and the four world stars in particular, would not have had to be defeated.

At least Manuel Neuer had a break in that meeting, but the teenage Musiala had a say in that as an exchange. David Alaba played in all three games for the Austrians, with Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman on the French team the entire time. Furthermore, the French traveled first to Kazakhstan and then to Bosnia. In the old MALÉV mileage booklet, they would have already charged half a ticket in the last week and a half. In this area, Bayern’s traveling ambassador was Alphonso Davies, who played as a member of the Canadian team against the best of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. He has time to rest his fatigue, because next time he will play against PSG by suspension. There is only expected to be one player in Munich’s starting lineup who hasn’t been on a European tour in recent days: Thomas Müller, who is incomprehensibly exposed from the German national team. Here’s what the top leaders on the list can say: There is good in all bad.

Nor have the host players prepared together for one of the most important matches of their lives in recent days. Péter Gulácsi played one game for the Hungarian national team, Willi Orbán played two. Marcel Sabitzer fought alongside Alaba on the Austrian national team. On Wednesday, p. Eg against the Danish national team, which included Yussuf Poulsen, who had also toured Israel previously. Spanish army columnist Daniel Olmo also scored in two games, scoring three points in overtime in Tbilisi. He too would have had good mileage on the frequent flyer, as did Alexander Sörloth, who visited Gibraltar, Montenegro (where he scored a winning goal) and fought the Turks on the Norwegian team. Emil Forsberg played in Kosovo and at home against Georgia, luckily the Swedish team had a day off this week. Lukas Klostermann played during the Germans’ two winning matches, watching the embarrassment against North Macedonia from the bench.

Like Flick, Julian Nagelsmann practiced amazing tactics this week. But he got all his men back, tired but tangible. Now Hansi Flick has more trouble, as he said, planning Plan B. The question is, what will Leipzig be enough for? Bayern, although not easily, came out of the pit in which they were around the Club World Cup. Thanks to two consecutive free Wednesdays, he recovered and performed almost as he did in the second half of last season. Now, however, everything can be rewritten by the Lewandowski spin-off. And the construction that has gone up so far could affect the team in a week and a half. Because if you can’t win any of your next four games (this can happen) you could be knocked out of the Champions League and be at a disadvantage in the league. And Leipzig is waiting for you!

In any case, the almighty lord of Bayern, always behaving like a true gentleman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, also spoke a few words in front of the super ranking. And this can also be seen as psychological warfare. In his opinion, RB Leipzig may win the Bundesliga this year, but they are still not the second best team in Germany. It’s not a matter of debate for the person on the best team.
