Bayern Munich’s latest kind has been spotty at finest, and in an interview with Bild (taken by @tweet), Oliver Kahn expressed his frustration with these poor performances. After attaining 12 victories within the Champions League, the DFB Pokal, and the Bundesliga earlier than the World Cup, Bayern got here again from the second half for 3 months, scoring solely 4 wins, 3 attracts, and 1 loss. Within the Bundesliga, Julian Nagelsmann’s males collected solely 9 factors from 6 matches. This fluctuation allowed Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin to remove Bayern’s lead on the high of the standings, leaving aim distinction as the one factor separating Bayern from Dortmund and Union. This example is a testomony to the wonderful type of the latter as nicely, however the consideration of the Bayern board will probably be on the numerous factors which have fallen unnecessarily.

Oliver Kahn definitely centered on that. “We dropped a number of factors within the Bundesliga, and that may’t occur to us. We’re high solely on aim distinction. The gamers now have to point out they’re Bayern Munich.”

However nobody ever succeeds in lamenting the failures of the previous. He needed the workforce to look forward and put together for the large match towards Union Berlin talked about above subsequent weekend. “A match like towards Union Berlin, a duel on the high of the desk, is the proper stage to show to everybody that no one is aware of what to do in a state of affairs like this higher than Bayern.”

Bayern has, traditionally, confirmed to be the membership that tops the Bundesliga it doesn’t matter what. Nonetheless, it’s now Dortmund and Berlin who win at any price whereas Bayern drop pointless factors. Can Bayern use the historic precedent to get forward of rivals once more, or will the poor stage proceed? Subsequent weekend’s match will probably be key to all of this.
