Club World Cup: “Job done”: Bavaria already-new Musiala worries

At the celebration of the early round of the round of 16 in front of the small Munich fan colony in the Hard Rock Stadium, Jamal Musiala was also there in addition to match winner Michael Olise. And that was after the deserved 2-1 (1: 0) FC Bayern in the very poisonous, but above all pioneering second group game at the club World Cup against Argentina’s football cult association Boca Juniors.

Just five days after his three-goal comeback in the 10-0 in the first World Cup game against Auckland City, Musiala ended after his next Joker mission in Miami after only 25 minutes. The 22-year-old, just just got fit again after a muscle bundle tear in his thigh, obviously hurt and had to get out.

After the game, Musiala then ran over the lawn with the teammates. And he even said goodbye to the referee. Does a player do that with an annoying injury?

Company: “I hope it’s nothing bad”

Vincent Kompany spoke briefly with Musiala on the lawn and later reported: “I hope it is nothing bad.” A certain concern, however, accompanied the Bayern-Tross onto the return flight to Orlando to the basic camp. “Tomorrow we will know precisely,” said Kompany. Before the exact diagnosis of the Bavarian doctors, he showed at least “a little relaxed” at Musiala.

The trainer and his professionals were happy and satisfied after a special game in front of 63,587 spectators, mainly loud and enthusiastic Boca fans. “We had the emotions of the game under control. We had to work a lot, but the job is done. We are in the round of 16, and I am really satisfied with that,” summarized Kompany.

Bavaria succeeds in a premiere

The second win in the second tournament game does not have to promise anything big, but was an exclamation mark. After all, Bayern are the first team to defeat a team from South America at this club World Cup in the new XXL format. “You saw how difficult it is for European teams to play against South American teams. I think we did it really well,” said Kompany. “We are happy to start the tournament with six points,” said Captain Manuel Neuer. The trend fits.

In addition, it is no longer a coincidence that Michael Olise scored the winning goal in the 84th minute with a precise shot into the far corner. It was already the Frenchman’s third tournament goal. “There is no doubt that Michael can make the difference in one game. And we absolutely need that,” said Kompany. A difference is also Harry Kane, who scored 1-0 in the 18th minute and Olise put on the game -decisive 2-1.

“So far it is going well,” said Kane at the end of the first week of the “huge tournament”. The sudden 1: 1 by Miguel Marentiel (66.) also briefly brought the hungry and focused Bayern ensemble from the success.

Already sagged 40 million euros

It continues on Tuesday. In the last preliminary round game against Benfica Lisbon (4 points), one point is enough to win the group. At the start of the KO phase, the Munich team would be the first to meet the second of Group D, FC Chelsea or it. In a defeat against Benfica, the next South America comparison against Flamengo from Brazil would come.

With the next winning bonus of two million US dollars and the $ 7.5 million for the booked round of 16, the German record champion, including his lavish entry fee, has already sagged 40 million euros in premiums.
