Why shouldn't they?
The phrase to come to mind of the loss Bayern had in the cup final in 2018? against Frankfurt is "Schlag lang, Bruder" - Boateng to Rebic or Rebic to Boateng to kick it long. Frankfurt is a team that really can be hard to play against for teams like Bayern or Barcelona -...
It is more workrate related. But for sure has to do with your physical shape - how many intensive runnings you can do. A little bit with speed probably, too.
Your team reminds me a little on Bayern 2017/18 after Heynckes came in (Ancelotti's trainings regime was not the best for today's...
Actually the German media likes him for serious side, too. He might be a joker but he is very good at analyzing matches (or his role) in (post match) interviews. He is the assistant coach on the pitch - especially the Corona times without fans really showed that and Flick even took him into...
Not really. When we won against you we always played a 4-2-3-1 with M?ller behind Lewy - but we did not against Real...
In 11/12 he was 12th man and only was substituted in - but he for sure was a factor for Gomez goal and Mourinho pinned his problems to M?ller's substitution and the change...
You never watch Bayern's matches, or?
Lewy clinical? No, he is not. Benzema overperforms his xG since 14/15 with 5.01 - Lewy just by 0.17. (xG from understat.com)
Lewy is not just a good goal scorer - he actually played as a 10 before in his first year at Dortmund. But both adapt to the role...
Both Real matches, Liverpool and the first leg of the Atleti match in 2016 Bayern played in a 4-3-3 and M?ller did not start - Bayern in a 4-3-3 with 3 midfielders never was any good for their attack - Barca 2015 he played with mask after he got injured in the Dortmund Cup match and Bayern had a...
No. But actually that is not about the stats but about the type of player. And it actually is very difficult to compare players with different playing styles - even if it is the same position. In my eyes Messi is and was best in combination with a real centre forward even if he is/was used as a...
Forget it. He would be stupid to do. He just told in the same interview (when it was about CR7s stats) how important systems and team members are for scoring excellently as a striker. It would take years for him (atleast more time than he will get in this year's summer preparation) to get as...
No. A player that is winger no. 5 (after Coman, Gnabry, Perisic, Costa) and midfielder no. 6 (after Kimmich, M?ller, Thiago, Goretzka, Tolisso) you sure cannot call a starter - even when he gets starts because of the injury situation...
After Flick came in he only was once in the starting formation for the CL - group match no. 6 when Bayern already was qualified... He did not start against Leipzig, Dortmund, Gladbach or Leverkusen. He had some starts in midfield on the side of M?ller when only one of Thiago/Goretzka/Kimmich was...
I have seen such toxic relationships a lot in the last 30 years from friends and coworkers etc. The women always think the guy loves them because they usually treat them differently the next day and "try to excuse themselves and tell them how much they love them). You help them getting out of...
I actually think that is more about accepting a no - that goes against their Ego of being a "big present" to the world... - the problem for sure is education (family, agents, clubs), too, where they push a lot of this talented footballers too much sugar into their behind...
Upps, if Dembele stays I wish you much luck... The duo without any discipline outside of the pitch...
As a fan of the opposition that was fun to watch... :p
KdB, really?Maybe from 2016 until 2 years ago - but not the recent two seasons. He showed sparks but was injured too often and then always needed time.
And - Kimmich is playing a different position. And together with M?ller is the brain and commander of this team. Even if I like KdBs play I do...
The voting for the FIFPro actually started in August (about 25000 professional footballers from all over the world were allowed to vote) and was for the last season - not this. Salah's 2020/21 was not that great. They vote for a goal keeper - 3 defenders - 3 midfielders - 3 attackers. The field...
