FC Bayern Munich – Draw against Salzburg: Nobody is afraid of these Bavarians – football
There is much to suggest that FC Bayern will reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League after the 1-1 draw in Salzburg. That would be good for German football.
At the same time, this game reinforced the impression that FC Bayern 2021/22 is a very fragile entity. This applies to the sporting area, but also to the environment.
There is a lack of sovereignty at all levels!
Coach Nagelsmann suffered five defeats in his first season, including historical embarrassment (0:5 in Gladbach; 1:4 at half-time in Bochum). The vaccination discussion about Kimmich caused unrest for weeks (by the way, his recovered status will expire shortly). The leadership’s appearance at the annual general meeting on the subject of Qatar was anything but Bayern-like. Hoeneß weakens his self-chosen manager successor Kahn by publicly criticizing him twice. The transfer policy for the defensive raises questions – and Salihamidzic reacts to the criticism (e.g. from Matthäus) with thin skin. Even if none of the bosses admits it publicly: the fact that Süle joins Dortmund of all places is a stab in the heart of Bayern.
Something is always…
Correct is: It can still be a super season with a championship and a Champions League triumph. But the national and international competition should have noticed very carefully: Nobody has to be afraid of this FC Bayern at the moment.
