According to his own statements, Uli Hoeneß has “never experienced” such an injury misery. So that the dream of “Finale Dahoam” does not burst against Inter Milan, a closed team performance is needed – and special moments from special players.
FC Bayern has not yet given up the dream of the Champions League semi-final. Even if the signs don’t look good. With a 1: 2 deficit it goes back to Inter Milan. Many important players are not available due to injuries, which even Uli Hoeneß has “never experienced in this form” in his long career, as the honorary president said in the BR program “Blickpunkt Sport”.
His demand so that the move into the semi -finals works: “We have to put other things in the balance. Use, combat strength and everyone has to help everyone.” But it is also clear that in such a special game, some players are particularly important.
Harry Kane: FC Bayern’s Torgient must deliver
One thing is clear after the first leg bankruptcy: the Munich need goals. And a man is primarily responsible for this: Harry Kane is involved in almost 40 percent of all FC Bayern goals.
But Kane always treated himself to creation breaks this season – at least as far as the scoreboard is concerned. Kane is always on the entire field, sometimes acts as the wrong nine. The goal yield sometimes suffers.
In mid-February to March, Kane remained without a Bundesliga goal for more than a month. In the first leg against Inter he missed the best chance. Kane should not afford such a handling of good options on Wednesday. Finally, Inter Milan conceded the fewest hits in this Champions League season. Kane had three goals against Bayer Leverkusen A huge share of moving into the quarter -finals.
Joshua Kimmich: The key to the room opening
In the first leg, they already proved what Inter Milan can do with a lead in the back. In the second half, a 5-3-2 tactics blocked the vast majority of ways to Yann Sommer’s goal. Joshua Kimmich will be responsible for positioning the Munich team in the narrow rooms so that gaps open – and play them with his chippers. At the same time, the man who will have the most ball contacts must keep the bad passes low. After all, Inter showed in the first leg how tricky the counterattack of the Italian master is.
Minjae Kim: make mistakes prohibited
The counterattack from Inter at the counterattack will also be the task of Minjae Kim. The central defender has become a defensive anchor in the absence of Dayot Upamecano, but has not necessarily been able to shine in this role. A hair -raising position error against BVB.
Against Inter, he lost the duel with Marcus Thuram before his filing to 1-0 – and his early yellow card (28th minute) brought him under trouble and Vincent Kompany to the serious decision to change Sacha Boey for him. Boey and the remaining defense colleagues looked completely disoriented in the 87th minute without Kim. Four times in the league (against Wolfsburg, Mainz, Kiel, and BVB) and twice in the Champions League (against Celtic and Barcelona), Kim Grobe made mistakes that led to goals. No seventh may be added in the second leg against Inter.
Wing player: Fluttering performance must be stable
Rarely did the name winger fit the offensive outdoor car players of the FC Bavaria, like this season, after all, all actors present themselves extremely fluttered. Michael Olise is certainly the most constant of them. With 13 goals and 16 assists according to Kane, the youngster is the most dangerous player who is currently available.
Leroy Sané, traditionally very changeable in his appearances, has recently shown that he can decide a game on your own on good days. And Serge Gnabry also revived his class again against BVB.
Kingsley Coman should also be available again against Inter. So the Munich people have enough potential on the outside. The fluttering wings also have to call it up on this day – preferably at the same time.
Jonas Urbig: The young goalkeeper in the spotlight
The 21-year-old Jonas Urbig was now allowed to guard the goal for FC Bayern eight times. A real one Error only made it once. Urbig has proven to be a solid support, even if eleven goals goals against opponents such as Bochum, St. Pauli, Union Berlin and FC Augsburg do not look exactly after a top rescue.
Nevertheless: the young keeper does his job properly. And if he gives Inter a similar top performance as in the second leg against Leverkusen, he is the next Special praise on the banquet speech sure.
Thomas Müller: motivator and interpreters
Jupp Heynckes once said: “Thomas Müller is not the best in the world, but he is the best in what he does.” This sentence is still true today Where his end at FC Bayern is imminent. Müller finds rooms like no other. He recently demonstrated this with his preparatory work against BVB and through his goal for the meantime 1: 1 equalization against Inter.
FC Bayern will also need this quality in the second leg if the Italians barricaded the defense. But Müller is not only in terms of play: also as a whip, mentor and motivator. In his almost 25 years at FC Bayern, he finally internalized the Mia-San-Mia.
