With the winning of the championship, FC Bayern reached the minimum goal at the weekend. But in the past few months it has become clear: the Munich team is currently not on their absolute performance. There are also tactical reasons for coaching legend Jupp Heynckes.
As the 79-year-old explained in an interview with the “kicker”, FC Bayern had to be better in steering the rhythm of a game.
“FC Barcelona is doing well now, Leverkusen was there last year last year, the Bavarians did it over a few routes too, but not how I imagined it,” said Heyncke’s criticism.
For the two-time Champions League winner, the right balance between game control and a quick attack game is the “very great art of football that only master a few.”
And other teams are at least a little hurried to the record champion “Tempo changes are characterized by very big teams. Paris is on a very good way to perfect this element,” emphasized Heynckes.
Should FC Bayern get Florian Wirtz?
The classification is not meant as a criticism of coach Vincent Kompany. Nevertheless, Heynckes is unsure how much the Belgian can move on Säbener Strasse.
“He doesn’t take himself so important, analyzes sober and looks likeable. Nevertheless, it is difficult for a young coach at Bayern,” he believes.
A possible step to raise Bayern’s game to a new level would be a commitment from Florian Wirtz. Heynckes does not want to interfere in the current change poker around the Leverkusen star.
“This reputable young man, he affects me, has to follow his inner alone. He has to do what he thinks is the best,” he said with a view to the future of Wirtz.
“I predict him a world career,” continued the world champion from 1974. The 22-year-old is “a team player, not a self-portrayal”.
However, the star player of Bayer Leverkusen should not rest on his early successes, warned the player and trainer icon. “A career is a marathon over ten or twelve, in luck 15 years. In this period, a footballer should never stop wanting to perfect.
