FC Bayern – Rummenigge reprimands Nagelsmann: "One or the other decision worth discussing"

Former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge gave coach Julian Nagelsmann an overall positive testimony for his first season at Bayern Munich. However, Rummenigge also criticized it.

“Basically, he did a top job until December. In the second half of the season, I think there were some decisions worth discussing in terms of tactics or things in general,” said Rummenigge Picture live. “But basically he is a good, interesting coach who will hopefully stay at Bayern for a long time. Because when Bayern had a coach with a certain continuity, those were always successful years,” added the 66-year-old.

Rummenigge asked for patience in view of the fact that Nagelsmann “only” won the championship in his first year as FCB coach. “Sometimes FC Bayern isn’t just enough for the national title. You expect to at least reach the semi-finals in the Champions League. That was missed this year with the elimination against Villarreal. That was of course a disappointment. He will be have to put up with it. He will have to attack again next year. You have to give him the time,” said Rummenigge.

“I wish the club and him, of course, all the luck that he achieves the goals in the Champions League that he missed this year. You’re German champions and if you’re German champions, that’s still not a consolation prize,” added Rummenigge at sky.

Rummenigge also spoke about Robert Lewandowski’s future. “I don’t know if he will extend his contract,” said the former Bayern boss. Lewandowski’s contract runs until 2023, on Saturday after the 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund the top scorer avoided a clear commitment to the club.

Grades: BVB debutant experiences horror evening – ovations for Bayern star

1/31

FC Bayern Munich secured their tenth German championship title in a row with a 3-1 win over BVB. A Munich attacker excelled, two Dortmund got the grade 5.5. The notes for the game.

2/31

FC BAYERN MUNICH – MANUEL NEUER: Almost unemployed – but always there when he was needed. Defended the few deep balls on Haaland as confidently as usual. Grade 2.5

3/31

BENJAMIN PAVARD: Spent a quiet evening on the defensive at first, so he kept pushing behind Gnabry. But then Bellingham danced badly (60th) – for his foul after that there should have been a penalty. Grade 3.5

4/31

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Had trouble against Haaland, but at least slowed down the Norwegian in his actions. Was lucky that his messed-up header went unpunished (27′). Grade 3.5

5/31

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: Closed the shop behind and cleared Reus (56th) with a monster slide that was as spectacular as it was fair. Note 3

6/31

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Incredibly busy going forward. Attracted the most sprints by far. His dynamism would have been good for Bayern in the weeks before… Grade 3.5

7/31

JOSHUA KIMMICH: Aggressive in counter-pressing and precise in passing. Actually a good performance by the six – if it hadn’t been for the penalty to Marco Reus. Grade 3.5

8/31

LEON GORETZKA: To the rear, to the front – and back again! Completed the most kilometers next to Kimmich, threw himself into most duels. Clever header template to 1:0. Grade 2.5

9/31

SERGE GNABRY: Cannot be held by the BVB defense. Played like crazy in the fight for a contract extension including a salary increase. Fantastic hit to make it 1-0, also involved in the 2-0 with strong counter-pressing. Out with a standing ovation. Grade 1.5

10/31

THOMAS MÜLLER: Gnabry served as a pass and wall player. Showed a good eye for most of his passes, so he scored the most shots on goal. Note 3

11/31

KINGSLEY COMAN: Lively as always, but without a decisive scene. Against a predominantly weak BVB it was enough without him. After 82 minutes it was over for him. Grade 3.5

12/31

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Set a new record again: scored in each of his eight BL home games against BVB. No other player in BL history has scored so many home games in a row against an opponent. Grade 2.5

13/31

JAMAL MUSIALA: Was allowed in for Gnabry and finally gave the green light for the championship celebration with his goal in the 83rd minute. Grade 2.5

14/31

LEROY SANE: Was late for an assessment.

15/31

MARCEL SABITZER: Just in time to congratulate Jamal Musiala for the 3-1 goal. No rating.

16/31

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: Came in the final minutes and was allowed to celebrate the title on the pitch. No rating

17/31

NIKLAS SÜLE: Only came against his future club in the very final phase. No rating.

18/31

BVB DORTMUND – MARWIN HITZ: Two very good saves in the second half, a bit unfortunate at 1:3, but actually powerless there too. It wasn’t his fault. Note 3

19/31

MARIUS WOLF: His data were better than his game. Hardly got a foot on the ground on the right in the back four against Gnabry, a few of his numerous ball losses were truly catastrophic. grade 5

20/31

MANUEL AKANJI: The most stable Dortmunder in the back four. Didn’t even think about having the penalty area secured when it was 0:1. grade 4

21/31

DAN-AXEL ZAGADOU: Catastrophic ball loss in the build-up before Robert Lewandowski’s 0:2. Was blocked by Musiala in front of the 1:3. Grade 5.5

22/31

RAPHAEL GUERREIRO: Was repeatedly overrun by Gnabry and Pavard on his left-back. Of course, Reinier did not support it either. Still: would be more valuable earlier in the game. Grade 4.5

23/31

EMRE CAN: A very inconspicuous performance by the midfielder for a very long time. Less than 75% of his passes found the teammate. But: sovereign at the penalty to 1:2. grade 4

24/31

JUDE BELLINGHAM: A little more active than Can, but without being able to give the BVB game any real impetus. grade 4

25/31

JULIAN BRANDT: As so often: Nice pass before Haaland and Dortmund’s first chance in the game. Energetic start before the penalty. But then again and again with inexplicable paths into nothingness. Grade 4.5

26/31

MARCO REUS: ‘It was a defensive challenge in the first half. Cleverly and with all his experience, got the penalty against Kimmich and got BVB back into the game. Grade 3.5

27/31

REINIER: Surprisingly, I was in the starting XI for the first time this Bundesliga season and contributed almost nothing to the BVB game. A few ball contacts, zero return. Won’t play many Bundesliga games anymore. Grade 5.5

28/31

ERLING HAALAND: A shot on goal in the first half. After the 1:1 he was a bit more energetic. Strong his running duel against Upamecano and his pass to Reus in the penalty area, which Hernandez had to prevent from 2: 2 with a monster tackle. grade 4

29/31

JAMIE BYNOE-GITTENS: The 17-year-old came on for the disappointing Reinier. Came to 14 ball actions, quite a refreshing performance. Note 3

30/31

YOUSSOUFA MOUKOKO: Came for Wolf a few minutes before the end and couldn’t turn the game around either. No rating

31/31

FELIX PASSLACK: Came for Haaland, will no longer be a striker. No rating

FC Bayern: Lewy departure? That’s what Rummenigge says

“I’m optimistic that he’ll still be there next year,” said Rummenigge. “Contract negotiations are taking place at a time when the Premier League and Paris Saint-Germain have been making large-scale transfers. It won’t be easy.” Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic agreed on Sunday Sky90 a Lewandowski departure this summer.

Rummenigge said with regard to a possible free transfer for Lewandowski in the summer of 2023: “He came on a free transfer in 2014. He would have been there for nine years if he were to leave on a free transfer. Robert has won all the titles with Bayern Munich that you can play in the club He can win football and made a big contribution to that. It was a top transfer. He exceeded expectations. If he stays, everyone will be happy.”

Rummenigge also commented on his successor Oliver Kahn, who rose to become CEO of the record champions last year picture: “Basically, I have a good, friendly and respectful relationship. Oliver has to go his own way, make his own decisions. And he will also make mistakes there. You also have to hand over the baton at some point. I don’t want to give him constant advice. He’ll have to experience it.”
