Bavaria: Friend criticized attitude

“It was a short night,” said Bayern Munich’s sporting director Christoph Freund the day after the 5-1 defeat in the German Bundesliga in Frankfurt. The former Salzburg successful architect looked for the reasons for the debacle. “It was far too little. For me it was basically an attitude issue. It seemed as if we had gone in just to play a little football.”

It was not only the first Bundesliga defeat of the season, but also the weakest and most error-prone performance in a long time. Coach Thomas Tuchel: “The entire team performance was unsatisfactory and I count myself among them.” With a four-goal difference, Munich had only lost three times in the Bundesliga this millennium.

Tomorrow’s away game in the Champions League against Manchester United is actually meaningless in terms of sport for Bayern, who have already won the group, but it now offers a chance for rehabilitation. “We want to show that it was just a slip-up,” said midfielder Leon Goretzka.

Four points behind Leverkusen

Bayern are currently four points behind league leaders Leverkusen, who lost a bigger lead in a 1-1 draw in Stuttgart yesterday. “We will fight back and come back,” promised Bayern’s Thomas Müller. Bayern have played one less game and the game against Union Berlin will not be played until February. Coach Nenad Bjelica celebrated a perfect debut for the capital city team in a 3-1 win against Mönchengladbach.
