FC Bayern after 2-1 in Freiburg: Kompany Ehrlich: “Not our most beautiful game”

You can at FC Bayern. From “bottle of empty” (trapattoni) and “Uwe-Seeler tradition team” (Beckenbauer), Joshua Kimmich’s Rotterdam warning was “currently not a top team”. After the 2-1 (1: 0) football record champions in the league game at SC Freiburg, the national team captain added again.

“The boys also notice that we are missing a bit in the Champions League or in Europe to get a look at the top,” said Kimmich. It is about “that we don’t always talk everything well, but also address things. We do that internally, that is what makes the coach in particular.”

Kimmich kept covered with his own future. “I will not comment on this every three days,” said the 29-year-old, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

In the almost spring-like Freiburg, from a Bavaria perspective, the reaction to the embarrassment was 0: 3 at Feyenoord. Effective, defensively usually stable at the front. Thanks to goals from Harry Kane (15th minute), who first met the game since November 22nd, and Minjae Kim (54.) was largely sufficient for Munich. The goal of Matthias Ginter (68th) fell after a corner kick.

Eberl: “Complicated away game”

“Today it was not important to somehow play the opponent,” Kimmich explained the continued problems of developing opportunities against a well -organized and deep opponent like Freiburg. Sports board member Max Eberl saw “a very complicated away game in Freiburg” and therefore praised how committed the Bayern stars (“a lot of morality”) had defended the victory in the tingling final phase.

“Maybe not our most beautiful game,” said coach Vincent Kompany, “but it is still one of the beautiful victories”. He saw the “right mentality”. The Bayern coach looked entirely at peace. The week to Feyenoord? “Not turbulent at all,” found Kompany, you couldn’t change anyway. Setbacks? Quite normal. “There are no prices, no success without such moments.”

There is hardly any doubt with Bayern after the Freiburg victory. There is not much missing “to be a top team again,” said even chief critic Kimmich. Especially since the Munich advantage in the Bundesliga to Leverkusens 2-2 in Leipzig extended to six points. “Accordingly, a good weekend,” said Eberl.

Stanisic and Palhinha celebrate comeback

A few personal details give further hope before the last Champions League game in the league against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday (9:00 p.m./DAZN). Midfielder João Palhinha, who had suffered a muscle bundle tear in mid-November, collected the first minute after a long break as a substitute as right-back Josip Stanisic, for whom it was even the first Bundesliga game this season after his outdoor tape tear in the right knee.

He was “very, very satisfied that we get the two players back,” said Kompany. “In our situation, it is also simply important that we have a good squad, a full squad.” In the late evening, Leon Goretzka also gave the all -clear, who had been replaced by Stanisic shortly before the break.

The open contractual questions: “A tired topic”

There was a special praise from Eberl for Eric Dier, who replaced the short -term unusual Dayot Upamecano in central defense and prepared Kanes 1-0. “He played a great game today,” said Eberl, “we are extremely happy that he is with us”.

The fact that the end of the season also expires at the end of the season, as with some other stars, should continue to employ the sports director. With the 31 -year -old Dier there is “no conversations at the moment”. On Saturday, Eberl refused further specific information, “a tired topic” was the matter of the contract extensions.

Meanwhile, it is becoming clear that goalkeeper talent Jonas Urbig is moving from 1. FC Köln to Munich. According to “Bild”, FC Bayern agree with the promotion candidate of the 2nd league. The transfer fee should therefore be around ten million euros. The change of the U21 national goalkeeper had been speculated for a long time.
