FC Bayern – News: Robert Lewandowski sticks to FCB
Ex-Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski is still busy with the Bundesliga and the title fight there. On the sidelines of the Laureus Awards in Paris, he spoke about his old place of work and explained opposite sports1: “I know it’s a point difference and there are still three games to go. If someone makes a mistake, the championship will probably be decided. I think Bayern are on the right track now. It’s clear in the last few weeks A lot is happening that can have an impact on the head, but I think Bayern are a bit ahead now.”
When asked which of his former clubs he was crossing his fingers for, the FC Barcelona player made it clear: “I’ve heard that many people in Germany and Europe think it would be better for the Bundesliga if Dortmund wins. But I’m always for Bayern Munich and therefore not for it. I always keep my fingers crossed for the (Bayern) boys that they win and show that they are the best.”
FC Bayern – News: Robert Lewandowski carries FCB in his heart
As for his time in Munich in general, Robert Lewandowski said on the sidelines of the Laureus Gala in Paris that he would remember it with pleasure for a long time.
“Everything I experienced and achieved at Bayern Munich stays in my heart. I will always be grateful. Bayern Munich, the city of Munich and also Germany stay with me because I was in Germany for twelve years, eight of them in Munich and experienced and won a lot there. You can’t forget that,” said Lewandowski.
However, if there were another duel with Munich in the group stage of the Champions League next year, like in 2022, he would be more confident than with the two bankruptcies back then: “It was still too early then and for me it was an emotional challenge against To play Bayern. But now after the two games it would probably be a little easier.”
FC Bayern – News: According to Lothar Matthäus, only FCB has the right pressure
Germany’s record national player Lothar Matthäus sees only Bayern Munich mentally challenged in the Bundesliga title fight. He had to say, wrote the 62-year-old in his sky-Column, “that for me only FC Bayern has the right pressure. Because only they have to become German champions and not Borussia Dortmund.”
With three games to go, FC Bayern leads the table with a one-point lead over BVB. In the case of Munich, “the already great unrest will become even greater if they don’t become champions,” wrote Matthäus: “That won’t be the case with Dortmund.”
In the away win in Bremen (2-1), the record champions “didn’t shine again and found it very difficult to play. As always, what they offer on the pitch is pretty shaky,” the former Bayern star continued.
In the Weser Stadium, coach Thomas Tuchel once again did without Thomas Müller in the starting XI. Matthäus rules out the fact that the veteran is spreading a bad mood because of this. Müller will “not make any negative statements until the end of the season,” says the world footballer from 1991.
“He wants to become German champion and knows that after the endless number of negative topics, there is no need for more unrest,” wrote Matthäus and explained: “He is far too intelligent for that. In addition, no player loves this club as much as he does , and that’s why he will do everything for the bowl in his current role.”
FC Bayern – News: According to Michael Reschke, the transfer of Victor Osimhen is unimaginable
The former technical director of the record champions Bayern Munich, Michael Reschke, can very well imagine a transfer from Frankfurt’s vice world champion Randal Kolo Muani to the table leader. “There is no question that he has an extremely high transfer value. He would help Bayern. If they had had him this season, the question of the championship would contain a few fewer question marks,” said the 65-year-old in the“ran Bundesliga web show”.
However, Bayer Leverkusen’s long-time scouting expert still sees quality differences between Kolo Muani and other top scorers in European leagues. Kolo Muani “doesn’t yet have the quality of Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen. These are players who are clearly one step higher. They are among the four or five best strikers in the world.”
However, Reschke “can’t imagine the ex-Wolfsburg Osimhen in Munich in any way. I can’t imagine Bayern Munich getting the financial support. It’s not just about the transfer fee, you have to pay a huge salary,” like Reschke. Over five years, a package of around 250 million euros will come together. “It would surprise me if the club thinks on this scale,” emphasized the current player advisor and former sports director of VfB Stuttgart.
According to Reschke, CEO Oliver Kahn “is not the one who particularly affects the team. He has a different position. Regarding Hasan Salihamidzic, I have to say that I am firmly convinced that the transfer policy was correct.”
He can completely understand many decisions in recent years. Reschke: “FC Bayern Munich players are only human too. At the moment there are quite a few who have big problems with themselves and don’t perform as usual. That’s something that can happen.”
FC Bayern – News: Sandro Wagner advises against Randal Kolo Muani
There is hardly a question that occupies the record champions as much as the question of a new centre-forward. A hot candidate for this is Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt. According to Sandro Wagner, himself a former Munich striker, that’s not a good idea.
“This is not the player who has scorer values that FC Bayern needs. 13 Bundesliga goals are okay, but not exceptional,” Wagner is quoted as saying in the picture. Kolo Muani scored 13 goals and 14 assists in his first Bundesliga season.
According to Wagner, the Frenchman doesn’t fit into Bayern’s system, which usually only provides for a penalty area striker.
Wagner also noted: “The striker coming in the summer is under incredible pressure – and I don’t see Kolo Muani there.” And: His “personality structure” is not compatible with FC Bayern.
In addition to Kolo Muani, FC Bayern are also talking about Victor Osimhen (SSC Napoli) and Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) as possible new strikers.
