At the end of a maximum nine-point week, the Bayern world shines pink despite Corona. The coach is "proud" - his stars are "hungry" for goals and titles. And the longtime maker is already looking forward to the future with another attraction.
Munich (dpa) - Hansi Flick announced the reward for an ideal nine-point week right after the next Bayern Munich goal festival in the circle of his players on the lawn of the empty Munich arena.
The "proud" coach thanked the stars 5: 0 against completely overwhelmed Düsseldorf relegation candidates with his stars around top scorer Robert Lewandowski and gave them two days off: "After a highlight like in Dortmund it is always difficult to get back 100 percent on the pitch to bring. I'm very satisfied. "
The designated master coach might want to use the short Pentecost break for a private bike tour, but also spend it on the club premises. Flick doesn't give up a bit after the Corona break. But even with his professionals, after the next great football ghost lesson in the stadium that is so quiet and without fans, he is not afraid of a streak in the end of the season.
"You can just see how ambitious and how hungry we are, that we will be at the top in the end," said David Alaba, who is brilliant as defense chief. Junior boss Joshua Kimmich does not want to bag the 30th title win on match day 34, but as early as possible in June. "We want to decide the championship as early as possible. We just don't want to make it exciting," said the international.
It was never exciting against the Fortuna. The marksman festival at the 22nd win in the 25th competitive game under Flick opened Düsseldorf's Mathias "Zanka" Jörgensen after 15 minutes with an own goal. After four more goals from Benjamin Pavard, the twice successful Lewandowski and Alphonso Davies, the end result was already determined after 52 minutes. Fortuna coach Uwe Rösler spoke of a "class difference that could be seen".
These Bavarians seem to be unstoppable by nothing and nobody after the 1-0 in the title duel against Borussia Dortmund at the latest. They recorded four wins with 13-2 goals after the Corona break. And the pure lust for football, even without fans, was discharged on Saturday evening at the goal to 3: 0 after a dreamlike move over five stations and with two hoe passes, which Lewandowski completed.
The pole has scored 29 goals this season, with fantastic 301 scorer points in the Bundesliga (231 goals, 70 assists). 86 Bayern goals after 29 match days are league records. Only the Gerd-Müller-Bayern in the 1971/72 season surpassed the magic hundred mark with 101 hits. "Sure, if you can," said Flick, if you wanted to top 100, "but there are other goals that are more important to me."
In addition to goals, gates, goals, the 55-year-old also wants to celebrate titles, titles, titles: "Currently, the focus is on the Bundesliga in order to complete it in the position we are in." On Saturday evening, the lead over Dortmund was ten points.
Despite the uncertainties in the corona crisis, the world of Bavaria shines pink. "I think we are on the threshold of a great generation," enthused Uli Hoeneß on the radio station Bayern 1. The long-time Bayern maker relies on the mid-twenties around Kimmich, Süle, Gnabry and Coman. And Hoeneß hopes that national player Leroy Sané from Manchester City will also join them.
Kai Havertz would also "like" Hoeneß. However, he does not believe in a timely commitment of the exceptional talent from Leverkusen due to the financial effects of corona - "as of today". But even without Havertz, Hoeneß predicts: "We have a young, viable team. I could well imagine that if everything goes well, a new era in Bayern Munich is just beginning."
