Of course, it is not okay if Sven Ulreich insults opponents, referees or responsible evils. But: it shows emotions. The Bayern replacement goalkeeper has exactly what all Bundesliga clubs are looking for. A man in the second row who, when it matters, is there – and otherwise the team pushes forward.
Let’s be honest: cheering with the team as if you are standing on the pitch yourself, not everyone can. Even more: it is a performance that is well underestimated. The BVB currently has problems finding only one player who indicates the sound and shows the sake. Matthias Sammer therefore said that the Dortmunders had recently shown a “physical and intellectual non-constitution”. Bavaria can afford the luxury of even leaving you on the bench in top constitution. Because a non-constitution can really not be accused of Ulreich.
He did not concede a goal against Werder, in the 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb he couldn’t quite. Last season there were 12 goals in 11 league games. This is roughly the cut by Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp, who conceded 15 goals in 14 games this season. Incidentally, the Frankfurter are third in the league.
In addition: Jonas Urbig could learn a lot from Ulreich if he switched to Bayern. The keeper has been in Munich for 10 years and knows what it means to be patient and deliver when the number one is missing. FC Bayern absolutely needs this experience.
