At FC Bayern there is a hangover after the clear pack at VfL Bochum. The former Munich Stefan Effenberg puts his finger in the wound.
As soon as the embarrassing 2: 4 (1: 4) defeat at VfL Bochum was sealed, Joshua Kimmich opened a mentality debate at FC Bayern, who are actually known for their unwavering Mia-san-mia attitude.
“It happens too often. I don’t know that from us in the past, that we concede four or five goals several times,” complained the international, referring to the similarly embarrassing 0: 5 of Munich in the cup in Mönchengladbach at the end of October.
FC Bayern: Effenberg recognizes a problem with the setting
Unsurprisingly, the expert echo for Julian Nagelsmann’s team after the memorable game was disastrous.
“You can slip, but this clarity should give food for thought. I now also have doubts about Salzburg in the premier class,” wrote Stefan Effenberg, who himself had played for the German industry leader for a total of six years, in his “sports1“-Column. Four goals conceded against a promoted player are “already heavy”.
The 53-year-old has recognized fundamental problems at Bayern. “You can outmaneuver Munich quickly and easily. That’s Nagelsmann’s philosophy, it’s extremely offensive. That involves risk. And if you’re outmaneuvered against Bochum, then I’m worried about them Champions League”, Effenberg pointed out.
In addition, there was also a lack of the right attitude. “Bayern got the only yellow card in the 90th minute, then their attitude isn’t right. It’s part of being aggressive, you have to accept the fight in Bochum,” explained the former professional.
Effenberg’s tough conclusion: “You simply can’t allow yourself something like that when you’re wearing this jersey.”
