In the press round before FC Bayern's away game on Saturday in Cologne, head coach Hansi Flick took young player Joshua Zirkzee into duty.

  • FC Bayern coach Hansi Flick * directs clear words towards

    Joshua Zirkzee

    .

  • Most recently, the 19-year-old was only used by the

    FCB amateurs

    in the third division

  • The Dutch also recently suffered an injury.

Update from October 31st, 8:30 p.m.:

Bayern coach *

Hansi Flick

last addressed

clear words to his storm talent Joshua Zirkzee at the press conference * before the away game in Cologne.

The 19-year-old may have “the quality to play in the Bundesliga”, according to the coach, but he “also cares a little about mentality, attitude and the absolute will to show what you can do.” Zirkzee probably left this in miss the past few weeks.

FC Bayern: Zirkzee four weeks without a professional minute - can he go back to the bench in Salzburg?

Since his seven-minute short

stint in the

Supercup victory against BVB

at the end of September

, Zirkzee only played in the amatures in the third division - until the Bundesliga * Saturday on the last day of October!

In Cologne, Robert Lewandowski was spared by Hansi Flick, Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting was allowed to play from the start.

But the Cameroonian international remained unlucky and was replaced by

Zirkzee

after an hour

.

In the overall rather lackluster Bayern appearance, the Dutch

U21 international

could not really stand out, but he still got

half an hour of playing time

with the professionals.

The announcement of his trainer has apparently reached the young professional.

“Who says I wo 

n't

 get

any game minutes

?

It's up to me to measure myself “, Zirkzee confidently announced at the beginning of October after his loan exchange failed.

Apparently the fine offensive technician has now found the connection to the professional team again.

Top striker

Robert Lewandowski

will be seeded in the Champions League * game at Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday, which is why Zirkzee may not be in the squad of the record champions *.

FC Bayern: Hansi Flick sounds the alarm - Bayern prodigy suddenly on the wrong track?

First report

from October 30th:


Munich - It has become quiet about

Joshua Zirkzee

.

The storm talent of

FC Bayern *

, who received minutes from head coach

Hansi Flick

every now

and then and repaid them with four goals in the upper house, has not been allowed to play a single game with the professionals for over a month.

The Dutchman played three times in the third division with the

amateurs

, but the 19-year-old is still waiting for his first goal of the season in the U23.

At the press round before his team's game in Cologne on Saturday, Flick revealed the reason for this - and should have only partially contributed to Zirkzee's inner peace.

It's about mentality, attitude and the absolute will to show what you can do

Bayern coach Hansi Flick

“He had problems with his ankle while on vacation and wasn't able to train that much.

Accordingly, I was

not entirely satisfied

with his physical condition, "said Flick, who, however, also urged the apparently not entirely smooth character of his jewel:" We know that he is a great talent, but

talent alone

is not always enough. " And further: “He has the quality to play in the Bundesliga, we are all convinced of that.

But it's also a bit about mentality, attitude and the absolute will to show what you can do. ”Words that, from Zirkzee's point of view, should not be misunderstood.

Especially since Flick

now has another attacker

in

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting

, whom he can fall back on in case of doubt.

FC Bayern Munich: Sané in Cologne again from the beginning?

In

Cologne

, the second of four away games in a row,

Robert Lewandowski

should

go hunting for

goals once again

.

Also

Leroy Sane

is "now so far that he can play from the beginning," assured Flick,

Serge Gnabry

(unnecessarily) to corona forced break anyway.

Otherwise, all players - including the

ailing

Leon Goretzka

and

Thomas Müller

- except

Tanguy Nianzou

and

Alphonso Davies

, said Flick.

🗣️ Hansi #Flick on four away games in a row: "I would have preferred if there had been a home game in between. But we accept that. We had Wednesday off, trained yesterday, today the final training and then it's off to Cologne."

In view of the three remaining games within a week before the next international break, he should also use the lever again. But there is one thing Flick wanted to mention in view of the strain: “We won seven games in a row. You quickly forget that when there is a game every three days. ”In Cologne, victory number eight is expected.
