FC Bayern: Müller disappointed after defeat
Despite numerous big chances, FC Bayern Munich lost 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt and suffered the first defeat of the season. Thomas Müller then quarreled with the strange course of the game.
“If we take the chances, it can end 3-1 or 4-1, then we stand here and sing ‘Super Bayern’ again. So it is now nothing with ‘Super Bayern’ and we lost at home,” said the 32nd -Year-old after the game and added: “It’s an unusual feeling.”
The record champions had clearly won all games in the Bundesliga as well as in the Champions League and in the DFB Cup after the 1-1 start in Gladbach. Müller looked deeply and revealed that the Munich-based company “let itself be influenced a little internally and externally”. “We already had the feeling that we could stay in this flow. We played well and we didn’t show any arrogance,” said the international.
“Under no circumstances” should Bayern have lost the game, stressed Müller. “We felt we had a lot of chances to score, the crucial centimeter was missing. With the first action from Frankfurt we get the 1-1. The few situations in Frankfurt were enough for two goals. We are served,” he said.
FC Bayern: Nagelsmann criticizes defenders
Coach Julian Nagelsmann criticized his defenders after his first competitive game defeat as FCB coach. The two goals against Eintracht Frankfurt were avoidable.
“We often hung too low and didn’t take the last few steps. We don’t go right against Kostic. Even players who have just played are missing the defensive connection,” said Nagelsmann.
Especially Dayot Upamecano, who came from Leipzig with Nagelsmann last summer, did not have a good day. “Kostic made it difficult for Upa. He’s had some good games since he’s here. It wasn’t that good today,” said the 34-year-old.
Filip Kostic had put the SGE in the lead shortly before the end after he was not significantly disturbed by Upamecano or another Munich defender. “It’s the classic Kostic goal that he shoots all the time,” said Nagelsmann. Manuel Neuer hadn’t looked good either.
FC Bayern – Flick: Musiala can also play as a six
National coach Hansi Flick is pleased to be able to fall back on many flexible players in the national team.
“I am absolutely convinced of my players and their possibilities. We are well filled in all positions,” said the 56-year-old in an interview with the kicker, “and we can set up some players variably.”
Flick named Kai Havertz, Thomas Müller and Marco Reus and added that Jamal Musiala can not only be used offensively. The 18-year-old could “also play as a six”.
He also praised Leroy Sane’s recent accomplishments. “I think he clicked now,” said Flick. After the winger was whistled by Bayern fans against Cologne, his form curve shows a steep upward trend.
“He floats with ease over the field, he has outstanding physical abilities. Now the self-confidence is back. Then actions succeed that weren’t successful before,” said Flick on Sunday in the SID-Interview.
In addition, Sane “now has the impulse to want to get back lost balls”.
