FC Bayern’s severe 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt is still having an impact. Cult coach Peter Neururer recognizes enormous deficits in the German record champions.
The result last Saturday was “almost unbelievable,” explained the 68-year-old in his column for the “Wettfreunde” portal. FC Bayern “did not find their way into the game at any stage”.
In fact, coach Thomas Tuchel’s players were dizzy at times, especially in the first half. Neururer is also puzzled about the reasons for the demonstration.
“That’s the big question. Maybe the team overlaps with some theoretical and tactical things,” speculated the former trainer.
After the end of the game, numerous experts criticized the fact that Tuchel had glossed over his team’s performance by referring to the so-called “expected goals”, which would have suggested a different result.
“When a coach says something like that after the game, the thinking football fan feels a little confused,” Neururer pointed out.
Neururer: Defensive weaknesses at FC Bayern “glaring”
In Neururer’s opinion, the sporting setback in Munich has been apparent for some time. “That wasn’t the only weakness that Bayern Munich showed this season,” he clarified.
The columnist made it clear that it was already obvious long before the Frankfurt debacle that the “defensive weaknesses were glaring.”
FC Bayern would lack a “clear agreement” and a “clear attitude” at the back, said Neururer. Eintracht “mercilessly uncovered” these problem areas over the weekend.
Due to the bankruptcy, the record champions missed the chance to increase the pressure on league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The Werkself currently have four points more, but Bayern still have the catch-up game against Union Berlin in hand.
