After the third Bundesliga game without a win in a row, unrest is growing at FC Bayern. The team is said to have first doubts about coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Nagelsmann had warned of his protégés’ lack of “aggressiveness in possession” and “a tad too much control” and “a little too little risk and greed forward”.
The head coach of FC Bayern even explicitly named Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala because they had missed chances for the third goal.
Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic also asked “Sport1” that the team had to “shift up three gears” on Tuesday in the Champions League cracker against Robert Lewandowski and his FC Barcelona. Barca recently presented themselves in the domestic league and the premier class in extremely strong form.
