Bayern Munich, from the stars to the alarm. Muller: “I’m angry”

From the stars, to the alarm. Bayern Munich’s season started as best it could not: 5 goals against Leipzig in the Super Cup, another 15 in the first three days of the championship. The best start in the club’s history. Indeed, more: the best start in the history of the Bundesliga. From then on, a decline: three games, three draws in the league, the last one yesterday with Stuttgart 2-2 (in the middle the victory in the Champions League against Inter). And from the best start ever, now the Bavarians have moved on to the lowest number of points after 6 days since 2010. To the point that Thomas Muller, after the match against Stuttgart, said he was disappointed: “Today for the first time in this season I am angry, and I am angry with ourselves. If we want to win all the games, and this is our ambition, we must give our all until the end. The fact that in the final minutes we gave Stuttgart a ball in our penalty area it shows that we weren’t immersed in the game and the situation well. I had the feeling that we gave something away. ”

points lost

–

In the whole championship 6 points have already been “given”. From 2010 onwards Bayern had never left more than 5. And the ranking is almost surprising: with 12 points the Bavarians are first along with Dortmund, Hoffenheim and Freiburg. The latter, however, still have to take the field for the sixth day of the championship.

STATISTICS

–

In the last 12 leagues, after 6 days, Bayern had full points on two occasions (2012 and 2015), twice they had lost just two points (in 2013 and 2021). Even in 2017, when Ancelotti was sacked as early as September (the only coach in Bayern’s history to jump like this at the beginning of the season), the team had collected more points than now (there were 13). Bayern in the league seem to have the belief that they can play without pushing the accelerator.

no longer at the top

–

Having lost the top of the standings a week ago, Nagelsmann said he was calm. “I’m not interested in being first after 5 days”. Right, but the team seems to have absorbed the belief that they can win games when and how they want, thus being able to put in a row if needed. Which is also probable, but not obvious. For this Muller has already pulled the ears of his teammates.
