Hansi Flick is plagued by staff concerns in central defense at Bayern with a view to the coming season.
The Bayern coach takes a clear position.
Hansi Flick
* is still at the top of the table with FC Bayern
With
David Alaba
*
and
Jérôme Boateng
, two defensive top performers could leave the club.
Especially in the Boateng case, Flick is now showing a clear edge.
Munich - Even if
Hansi Flick
with
FC Bayern Munich
left
points against
Werder Bremen
yesterday at home
, the German
record champions
continue to
greet
from the top of the Bundesliga * table.
In his second year with
Bayern, the
55-year-old has to
grapple with further future personnel concerns.
Hansi Flick: Will David Alaba stay with Bayern?
- "Should take responsibility"
The contracts of the center-back duo
Jérôme Boateng
and
David Alaba
expire at the end of the current season and
Flick
could thus lose two absolute leaders and top performers in the defensive headquarters.
The
Bayern coach
spoke in an interview with Welt am Sonntag about the possible
departure of
two defensive pillars in the team of the reigning
German champions
.
In the case of the Austrian,
Flick
appeals
primarily to his personal responsibility and called on
Alaba
to make a decision.
“David is a very fine person and a brilliant football player.
He's very popular with the
team
and holds them together.
David should take responsibility and decide for himself what is important to him. "
Keep going.

Hansi Flick becomes clear at Boateng: "You can't write off such a player"
However,
Flick
is
much clearer
when it comes to
Jérôme Boateng
.
In contrast to
Alaba
, the 2014 world champion should not have received a contract offer from
Bayern
.
However,
Flick
does not want to confirm
that Munich is no longer planning with the 32-year-old
.
"
I have not heard that there will be no more plans
with
Jérôme
," emphasized the
Bayern coach
and then spoke plainly.
“He helped us a lot with his attitude.
You can't write off such a player. "
A clear
commitment
to
Boateng
, who has been with
FC Bayern
for nine years
.
However
, the 55-year-old leaves it open
whether
Flick
would even stand in the way of a possible departure of the
central defender
in the club.
"It is very early to make decisions here."

Understanding for Jogi Löw: Flick understands Boateng and Müller's dismantling
Despite these clear statements about
Boateng
,
Hansi Flick
also shows understanding that the 32-year-old was
kicked
out of
the
national team
by
Jogi Löw
and describes the decision as legitimate.
"Jogi decided to do it, and I absolutely understand that he is sticking to his decision," said Flick.
For FC Bayern there was also something positive about this move, as
Boateng
and
fellow world champion Thomas Müller
could concentrate fully on the tasks and challenges in the club.
So it remains to be seen whether
Boateng
will still be able to perform for
FC Bayern
in the coming year
.
