FCB, News: Consultant unpacks about Salihamidzic

Hasan Salihamidzic is now one of the most powerful men at Bayern. At the latest since Uli Hoeneß ‘final withdrawal from the operational business, the 44-year-old has been leading the transfer negotiations for the German record champions.

Compared to the image-The newspaper has now unpacked an unnamed advisor about the Bosnian’s exact tactics. According to this, Salihamidzic is not always easy to reach by phone during important negotiations, which annoys many in the scene: “You wait a long time for callbacks from him, and often nothing comes. That was different with Uli Hoeneß.”

However, if FC Bayern really wants to win over a player, “Brazzo” picks up the listener more often. “Then the cell phone rings in the morning, at noon, in the evening. You can imagine it a bit like flirting. You can tell when the person opposite really wants the bride,” outlines a consultant.

In general, Salihamidzic is very sociable and rather soft in conversations. “I was totally amazed. We didn’t know each other very well and there was a lot of trouble. But he greeted me like an old school friend,” said one advisor. The Bosnian still prefers to leave the attack department to his mentor Hoeneß.

Bayern notes: someone loses the last bit of trust

1/17

Damper after the international break: FC Bayern lost 2-1 to FC Augsburg after a tired appearance. One newcomer was doing anti-advertising, another was overwhelmed. The scores and individual reviews of the FCB players.

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: Once again one of those thankless evenings as a Bayern keeper. Mostly had nothing to do, but completely powerless against Pedersen’s cream shot (23rd) and Hahn’s header (36th). Grade: 3.5.

3/17

BENJAMIN PAVARD: Due to Süle’s corona illness back in the starting eleven, he did not advertise himself. Gave Iago only escort before the 0: 1 and remained far too passive before the 0: 2. Instead, the starting point for the connection hit. Grade: 4.5.

4/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Moved into the middle when building up the game in the chain of three and directed the action with many opening and precise passes (rate of 91.9 percent). Was still the best FCB defensive player. Note 3.

5/17

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: Put Zeqiri under good pressure before the 0-1 win, but he couldn’t prevent him from being transferred to Pedersen. Bad timing against Hahn. In the direct duels, however, mostly winners. Grade: 4.

6/17

OMAR RICHARDS: Had the big job of replacing the “tired” Davies (Nagelsmann). Started well but lacked punch in the offensive. In addition, with some technical deficits. But with six ball conquests. Grade: 4.5.

7/17

MARCEL SABITZER: Noticeably active at the opening of the game (67 ball actions). But is complicit in both goals. First let Pedersen slip away before he displayed a devastating duel against Zeqiri in front of Hahn’s goal. Grade: 5.5.

8/17

During the international break, Sabitzer had complained about a lack of confidence in him, but with this appearance the Austrian catapulted himself even more into the off. There are no arguments for further starting eleven nominations.

9/17

LEON GORETZKA: It was difficult against the rebellious hosts. In the first half he did not win a duel and remained without a degree. After the break with a little more access. Grade: 4.

10/17

SERGE GNABRY: The weakest player in the attack quartet! Often made the wrong decisions. Had twelve ball losses on his account before the break – also before the 0: 1. Offensive he remained pale. Grades: 4.5.

11/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: Long with little influence, but extended Pavard’s cross in front of Lewandowski goal (38th) but decisively with the heel. Despite his best efforts, he was left without a real degree. Grade: 3.5.

12/17

LEROY SANE: With an enormous amount of freedom in the half-spaces. The national player was always where the ball was. In his action, however, he lacked a bit of luck, which is why he left the field after 70 minutes. Grade: 3.5.

13/17

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Again with a little little connection to the game, which is why he often looked for the way back. With his goal again in the style of a world-class striker. But left two good chances to equalize after the break. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

JAMAL MUSIALA (from 52nd): Replaced the weak Sabitzer and caused immediate danger with its lightness. With lots of good movements. Failed shortly before the end to Gikiewicz. Note 3.

15/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES (from 52nd): Came into play for the slightly overwhelmed Richards to provide more offensive power. His many attempts in the 70th minute almost bore fruit, but Framberger was decisive. Note 3.

16/17

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING (from 69th): Substituted for Sane and was next to Lewandowski in the top. Didn’t find it in the game, however, and was completely harmless. Grade: 4.5.

17/17

TANGUY NIANZOU (from 87th): Joined Pavard in the closing stages. Made more presence in the backcourt in the game for a goal but couldn’t avert defeat. Without rating.

FCB, News: Rummenigge taunts against Dortmund competition

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge spiced up the freshly inflamed championship duel between his FC Bayern and the challenger Borussia Dortmund with a few swipes.

The ex-CEO of the German record champions teased the show Sky90 on Sunday in the direction of BVB captain Marco Reus and defense chief Mats Hummels and advised Bayern against a possible commitment from Erling Haaland.

Reus decided against Munich and for BVB in 2012, said Rummenigge and said: “He didn’t win many titles there.” Ex-Bayern professional Hummels also got his fat off. The 32-year-old is “now giving the impression that he has problems with the speed,” said Rummenigge. There are good reasons why the defender is currently not considered in the German national team.

On the subject of Haaland, the 66-year-old said: “Bayern Munich have Robert Lewandowski – that is above Haaland. You can’t have both in one team, that would be crazy because one would always have to sit on the bench.” He could “only make one recommendation: hold Robert!”
