After the 4:2 (2:0) against promoted team 1. FC Heidenheim, FC Bayern is still the first pursuer of Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen. According to ex-national player Mario Basler, the offensive around superstar Harry Kane continues to work perfectly. He now criticized Munich’s defensive work.
The goals that FC Bayern have conceded this season are “completely unnecessary,” says former Munich player Mario Basler in the “Basler ballert” podcast.
Against Heidenheim, summer newcomer Harry Kane scored his Bundesliga goals 16 and 17 of the season, each after an assist from DFB star Leroy Sané, giving coach Thomas Tuchel’s team a reassuring half-time lead. But in the second half, Munich’s defense appeared completely disorganized at times.
Within three minutes, Tim Kleindienst and Jan-Niklas Beste brought the outsider back into the game. Bayern jokers Raphael Guerreiro and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting brought FC Bayern back to winning ways.
Will Bayern star Kane crack the Lewandowski transfer?
According to Basler, FC Bayern’s defensive players have to “shoot the ball into the stands” here and there instead of solving every situation through football. However, it is also true that the German record champions have the best defense after eleven games. The Munich goalkeepers have only had to reach behind themselves nine times so far.
On the other hand, there is the best attack in the league. 42 goals are the best among all Bundesliga teams, with Harry Kane alone scoring 17 goals.
“If he doesn’t suffer any major injuries now, I believe that he will break Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals,” said Basler: “I’m convinced of that. It’s not a big surprise for me that he’s at FC Bayern is taking this approach. He is a world footballer who has shown this for years, in the national team or at Tottenham.”
