FC Bayern, News: Kahn comments on further transfers

Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has not ruled out further transfers this summer. Although the people of Munich are “largely through” with the activities, he still left a back door open.

“The transfer window is open until the end of August,” explained Kahn ahead of the Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt (6-1). “Our goal is always to be able to compete at the top in Europe. It’s a constant process to strengthen the team year after year. We keep bringing in young players with a lot of talent, like Ryan Gravenberch or Mathys Tel. These players have to to give the necessary time for development.”

With Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus), Sadio Mane (Liverpool), Mathys Tel (Rennes), Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax) and Noussair Mazraoui (Ajax), the German record champions have already signed players for a total of 137 million euros this summer.

In addition, there is still speculation about a change from RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer. The midfielder is one of coach Julian Nagelsmann’s absolute favorites. Sticking point: The Saxons are demanding a transfer fee of 30 million euros.

Bayern grades: Musiala outshines everyone – one cements his regular place

1/17

FC Bayern flared up a 45-minute gala at Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the Bundesliga and deservedly won 6-1. Jamal Musiala and Sadio Mane play outstandingly, even the problem children convince. The marks of the Bayern players.

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: With so much offensive urge, little busy for a long time. Wide awake in the 22nd minute when he dares the excursion. Then, at 1-5, he doesn’t look good against Muani, even if Hernandez does his bit. grade: 4

3/17

BENJAMIN PAVARD: Rumors of a change aside, he kept his place for the time being and made it 2-0 with a goal worth seeing. Also otherwise with a lot of offensive urge and defensive with good duel leadership. Grade: 2.

4/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Not as complicated as before, tries to keep it simple and can also focus on his core business. Engaged in a couple of duels against the strong Muani after the break but held up well. Grade: 2.5.

5/17

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: In the 27th minute, Lindstrom danced it out a little too easily and created Eintracht’s first real chance. At 1:5 with a somewhat sloppy ball to Neuer, who then couldn’t control the ball. grade: 4

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Of course, offensively a lot on the go, but his sometimes rigorous duel against the ball is striking. Then sometimes too impetuous, but he didn’t let opponent Knauff come into his own. Grade: 3.5.

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: He made it 1-0 with a sly ear free kick and felt involved in every goal afterwards, either winning the ball or sending long balls in front of the combinations. Strong performance by Kimmich. Rating: 1.5.

8/17

MARCEL SABITZER: Continues to cement his place in Bayern’s starting XI and sacrificed himself for his team. The Austrian won every (!) of his duels until he was substituted in the 57th minute. So first set. Grade: 2.5.

9/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: Of course you have to talk about his two assists and how he verbally and strategically orchestrated his wild colleagues on the offensive, but also about his slapstick interlude (24th). Grade: 2.5.

10/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: Again the best at Bayern. Brutal joke in the first round, because it was actually perfect when the Frankfurt team couldn’t get hold of it. Had no fixed position, constantly castled and scored a brace. Note 1.

11/17

SERGE GNABRY: Was the double lead with Mane and was constantly on the move, and you got the impression that Gnabry was playing around with Mane. Strong submission to 3:0, then skillfully made the 5:0 himself. Made way for Tel (65th). Grade: 2.

12/17

SADIO MANE: In his first Bundesliga game like an old hand in the league who doesn’t need any adjustment time. His playfulness, his pace and his view of the space are outstanding. His pass in the 24th was strong, also with a goal and an assist. Rating: 1.5.

13/17

RYAN GRAVENBERCH: Came for Sabitzer in the 57th minute in a phase in which Bayern had already taken some of the juice out of it. But he couldn’t set any accents, although he was often on the ball during the build-up. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

MATHYS TEL: Made his Bundesliga debut in the 65th minute and is now the second youngest professional in FCB history after Paul Wanner. Tried to field the ball and go into the spaces a couple of times. His time is yet to come. Grade: 3.5.

15/17

LEROY SANE: Came in for Thomas Müller in the 65th minute, in the 77th minute he skillfully put on for Mane and for Musiala to make it 6-1. Well used for a short time. Grade: 2.5.

16/17

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: Came in for Pavard in the 82nd minute and had a shot on target seconds later, albeit over. Otherwise no abnormalities. No rating.

17/17

MATTHIJS DE LIGT: Came in for Hernandez in the 82nd minute and fitted into the chain without attracting much attention. After all, Bundesliga debut. No rating.

FC Bayern, News: Müller jokes about Musiala

When Jamal Musiala just for DAZN-Interview after the gala against Frankfurt, teammate Thomas Müller gave him something to take with him. “I just sold you!”, Müller shouted somewhat incomprehensibly in the direction of the 19-year-old.

It was apparently about Musiala’s role in a manager game in which the Bayern teammate tries his luck. However, Musiala could not do much with his teammate’s call. “I don’t understand the manager game, but he meant something with ‘sell’,” laughed the Bayern youngster.

FC Bayern, News: Müller on his slapstick insert

In the 6-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt, Thomas Müller missed a goal that he thought was safe with a slapstick insert. In the 24th minute of the game, he first put the ball on the post before the ball bounced back to him. But even lying down, it didn’t work with the hit.

“This scene is probably already circulating on the Internet,” said Müller and should be right. Even FC Bayern’s official Twitter account wrote shortly after the scene: “That can’t be true.” One user wrote about the “non-goal of the decade”, another recalled Frank Mill’s legendary miss in 1986.

Here you come to the detailed news.

FC Bayern, News: Kimmich praises the free-kick variant

Joshua Kimmich scored against Eintracht Frankfurt early on after a rehearsed free-kick variant to make it 1-0. He then thanked goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic. “He announced it a bit during the week. We practiced side free kicks and then he said: ‘The Trappo is always a bit higher.’ And then I thought: I’ll try it.”

There were also words of praise from Julian Nagelsmann. “There’s a lot of praise for Toni Tapalovic, our goalkeeper coach, and Dino Toppmöller, assistant coach who is responsible for set pieces,” explained Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann Sat 1.
