And suddenly the little Bayern go as favorites in the home game tonight (7 p.m.) against Halleschen FC. For the first leg, the reserve of the record champions had traveled to Saxony as a clear underdog.
Munich - A meager three points were only available for the third-division promoted team after four game days, but for the Halle team, who had just missed the promotion in the previous season, there were already nine. The 2: 1 success of Munich at that time was all the more surprising. But now the signs have completely changed. While Halle only posted one point in the last six games, the “Bayern amateurs” started the new year brilliantly.
All three games to date have been won; after 42 goals in the first 20 games, there were only two in 2020. Regardless of the two prominent winter loans, Nicolas Kühn (from Ajax) and returnee Wooyeong Jeong (Freiburg), an unexpected protagonist played in the foreground with Angelo Stiller. The only 18-year-old midfielder, who was mainly used for the A-Juniors in the back series, was on the pitch for 90 minutes in all three games and did his job so well that coach Sebastian Hoeneß gave him special praise: " He is already very mature. ”In addition, according to Hoeneß, Stiller was“ clear in the head and quickly adapted the higher intensity in the 3rd division ”. With the fourth win in a row, Stiller and his teammates would also set a new record for FC Bayern II in the 3rd division this evening. This would no longer surprise anyone. mh
