That was already noticeable in the first statements in which coach Julian Nagelsmann contradicted the CEO Oliver Kahn, who spoke of “two different Bayern teams – one before the World Cup and one after the World Cup”. Eintracht is still five points behind the leaders in fifth place, but Union Berlin (one point), RB Leipzig (two points) and SC Freiburg (three points) came really close to Bayern, who after three spring games still always stand without a win.
Oliver Glasner’s conclusion was correspondingly positive: “I’m very happy with the point. Bayern were more dangerous in the first half. We were too imprecise even after winning the ball and lost the ball too quickly. At half-time we said , that we play with more confidence and conviction when we have the ball ourselves, so that we can get into situations where we can score a goal. And that’s how it happened.”
Kolo Muani completed a picture-perfect counterattack to make it 1-1 (69′) after Bayern took the lead through Sane. “We had one or two chances after taking the lead. But not in such a way that we had to make it 2-0,” Nagelsmann also showed respect for the performance of the Glasner team. The compensation annoyed the Bayern coach.

“The goal we conceded was after a super counterattack from us, where we turn around and bring the opponent back on board. Then comes the loss of the ball and then it’s a chain of mistakes, but we have a superior number on this counterattack for a very long time, also with consciousness that Frankfurt is doing well there. We could have defended that better.” The pressure on Nagelsmann will increase because Kahn is also very dissatisfied.
“You’re always under pressure at Bayern, even if you win and play badly,” Nagelsmann tried to put into perspective. However, Kahn’s announcement after the game was also clear. “The difference to autumn is obvious. We had an incredible number of chances and often didn’t score. This time we hardly had any chances in the second half.” But that was also due to the perfect organization of Glasner’s team.
Three goals from Onisiwo
For Bayern, it’s now up against Mainz in the DFB Cup. ÖFB team player Karim Onisiwo is currently in top form with Mainz and scored three goals in the 5-2 win against bottom of the table Bochum. The reward for the 30-year-old was not only the match ball, but also great praise. “He was outstanding. He led the way and carried everyone else along. He couldn’t be stopped,” said Mainz sporting director Martin Schmidt. Crisis mood prevails at Hertha BSC Berlin after the 0: 2 in the city derby against Union Berlin. Sports director Fredi Bobic was fired immediately after the game. Benjamin Weber succeeds Bobic.
