From Munich’s perspective, FC Bayern’s 3-2 win against FC Augsburg falls into the category of “work victory”. Leon Goretzka emphasized the Swabians’ unpleasant style of play after the final whistle in the Bundesliga. The fact that the midfielder also complained about the grass didn’t go down too well with the people of Fuggerstadt.
“First of all, it’s a big compliment for us when Bayern don’t like going to Augsburg,” reacted Michael Ströll, commercial director at FCA, in the “Sport1” one-two: “I think we proved again yesterday that we can be unpleasant “But also that we play good football.”
But what about the track? “The lawn is of course not in the best condition at the moment,” admitted Ströll. At the same time, the FC Augsburg official couldn’t resist a verbal counterattack.
“But I agree with Didi Hamann, who said that the last three games probably weren’t much better and they played on the lawn in the Allianz Arena. I think you noticed yesterday that Bayern are on “Maybe they’re a little thin-skinned in one place or another,” says Ströll.
FC Bayern: Grass doesn’t suit Goretzka
FC Bayern had to work hard for their three points on Saturday afternoon. In the end, the Munich team narrowly prevailed 3-2 (2-0) and were therefore able to reduce the gap to leaders Bayer Leverkusen to two points.
“We always say that we want to see attractive football. That’s not possible here, to be honest,” Leon Goretzka said afterwards on “Sky”.
The Bayern star complained: “We have so many restrictions on what the stands have to be like that people can no longer stand properly in the stadium, and we have to play on a pitch like this. I don’t understand that. I’m happy to hear that every shitstorm.”
It was “not possible to play technically good football.” “Accordingly, Augsburg does extremely well within the scope of their possibilities – extremely physical, with long balls. It’s just difficult then,” said Goretzka.
