The Bavarians had to tremble for a long time before moving into the second cup round. Then all players initially disappeared from the field.
The players of FC Bayern did not really feel like celebrating after the final whistle. In the first round of the DFB Cup against Wehen Wiesbaden, the German record champion showed a lackluster appearance and was only able to turn a embarrassment. In the end it was 3-2 against the third division team. Then the Vincent Kompany team initially went into the cabin closed.
Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich, who had taken over the bandage as a deputy for the red-locked Manuel Neuer, later said on ZDF: “It is normal for us to go in briefly. The coach then says something briefly.” ZDF reporter Lili Engels hooked what Kompany said. Kimmich replied: “Of course, the cup is about progress, we would have liked it today.
For Kimmich we went to interview with Sky – where he met Wiesbaden’s goalkeeper Florian Stritzel. Sky reporter Sebastian Hellmann asked the 30-year-old for a sentence to the SVWW. “You didn’t make it easy for us today,” said Kimmich towards Stritzels. “There were a few chances, then a little inability and a lot of you.” Also due to the good goalkeeper performance, the game was exciting until the end.
Stritzel thanked him and left the two. Reporter Hellmann then went into the analysis with Kimmich and asked which heading should be over the game. Hellmann’s proposal: “With luck on?”.
“So it wasn’t lucky,” Kimmich countered directly. The reporter referred to the late gate in the added time of Harry Kane (90th minute +4). “It is part of it. But: We have to decide the game earlier. The multitude of opportunities was extreme,” said Kimmich.
The Munich avoided the first round, which she had suffered from TSV Vestenbergsgreuth last time 31 years ago. At first everything went according to plan. In front of 12,500 fans, FC Bayern was already 2-0 in the lead by Harry Kane by penalty (16th minute) and Michael Olise (51st). But the 20-time cup winner, whose last triumph has been five years ago, suddenly got out of step.
The fighting Hessen came back into play with a double strike by Fatih Kaya (64th/70th), and Kane even missed a penalty (76th). Bavaria’s Konrad Laimer could not really explain the tremor: “Sometimes it is the case in football,” he said on ZDF. “It is the first cup round that is never easy. Something like that can happen. In the end, it is only important that we are one round further. If you make games so late, it is also a quality.”
For the SV, the 3rd league continues on Sunday. The team meets at Schweinfurth 05. The Munich, on the other hand, will play the second Bundesliga game of the current season with Sandro Wagner and FC Augsburg on Saturday (from 6.30 p.m. in the T-Online Live ticker).
