Thomas Müller serves: Bitter setback in our self-image

Before the game against Augsburg, the statistics spoke clearly for FC Bayern. The team with most of the scorers (211) met with the fewest (107) — Alone Lewandowski had scored four hits more than the complete FCA (nine) — and still stood after 90 minutes the second Saigon defeat of the Munich to be booked.

So what was it located? The excuse of the many games as well as the file break wanted Julian Nagelsmann did not apply: It was not the 96th minute now, it was the first half. In this case, the FCB was already with 0: 2 behind. The opponent had no brilliant moments and still made two goals, said Nagelsmann served at the DAZN microphone. Nevertheless, these moments, two switching moments of ball loss and subsequent edge ranging from the left side to bring the Bavarians to waver.

The first half was just bad

We have it in the first half in different situations, just when it goes in our own half, then just not earned somewhere, said Thomas Müller. Of course, you do not always collect goals from these two to three scenes, but we let it come to collect them, Müller criticized their own defensive behavior. With ball, the own game had been partially okay, but in the last third it was clearly unclean. The first half was bad.

His captain Manuel Neuer had made a different unusual problem in his 450th Bundesliga game in addition to the inadequate defensive performance: the offensive. Too little courage, too little activity would have shown the record champion there. Too rarely, the Munich in front of the Gate of the Augsburg er, as with the headset, combined when Robert Lewandowski met after Müllers chopping preparatory work.

For Nagelsmann, the truth was somewhere in between ( one requires the other ). If not much is going on the front, then you have to be more stable behind. Especially about the unused, but available space on the playing field, the coach annoyed. I believe every second ball in the six room was a return pass. Although his team had had all the majority in each room, but simply did not seem consistently forward and therefore too few goals.

The self-image of FC Bayern

Also, for Müller is not the way you imagine your own appearance at FC Bayern: For us, this is already a bitter setback in our self-image, as we want to deny the games. We need each game this confirmation That we dictate and dominate the games. And that meant Müller, who was against Augsburg 600th compulsory match for FC Bayern, expressly did not possess the possession of the possession, but the kind of how to play the opponent.

So that it works again, Nagelsmann demanded, We have these construction sites that we have to close: we just get too many goals. And pushed for: Winning love is that one, losing hate is the other.
