Ten months after the third division championship, FC Bayern II is about to crash into the regional league.
A bankruptcy in the derby around 1860 could mean the end.
Munich - The U23 of FC Bayern can hardly be saved in the 3rd division.
After the defeat on Sunday in the derby against relegated SpVgg Unterhaching, Martin Demichelis and Danny Schwarz's team is two points behind the first non-relegation place.
The relegation could already be determined on Sunday in the next derby against the blues.
On the last day of the match there will be a home game against Halle.
FC Bayern II: Furious march from 15th place to the championship in the 2019/20 season
The talent factory of FC Bayern has become a victim of its own success.
On July 4, 2020, the German record champions celebrated *.
Despite a 0: 1 defeat on the Betzenberg against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the talents hugged each other and celebrated the championship in the 3rd division as promoted players.
With a march through from 15th place after the preliminary round, the team sensationally took the lead.
By winning the title, several protagonists brought themselves into the focus of other clubs.
Coach Sebastian Hoeneß went to TSG Hoffenheim *, many players looked for their chance elsewhere and moved to higher leagues or abroad.
Many hopefuls have been awarded in order to possibly strengthen the roster of professionals * after their return.
Jamal Musiala: From FC Bayern II to national player and EM candidate at Jogi Löw
Actually exactly to the taste of the management floor on Säbener Straße *.
With Jamal Musiala *, the master class of 2020 even turned out to be an absolute high-flyer.
The now 18-year-old established himself in a very short time under Hansi Flick *, was nominated for the national team by Jogi Löw and dreams of the EM *.
The management of the youth training center (NLZ) headed by Jochen Sauer was unable to keep pace with the fast pace of the young boys.
The successor for Hoeneß was already a problem.
Promotion coach Holger Seitz had to be persuaded to join Martin Demichelis and Danny Schwarz a few weeks ago and, in addition to his position as Sauer's deputy, took over again on the sidelines.
The right successor could not be committed or found.
The bloodletting in the U23 squad was an even bigger problem.
The departure of ten top performers last summer, Singh returned in winter after disappointing months at 1. FC Nürnberg, followed in winter by Chris Richards *, Leon Dajaku and Joshua Zirkzee, who commuted between U23 and professionals.
FC Bayern II: After the first half of 2020/21 in 9th place with 26 points
Maybe Bayern * could have been warned.
After the series, the reserve was in ninth place with 26 points - relatively reassuringly five points ahead of the first relegation place.
Last season, the U23 benefited from the unpredictable third division second half of the season, and this season they will probably be one of the victims.
On Sunday in the derby, the Lions in the Grünwalder Stadium absolutely want a win so that they can continue to dream of the 2nd Bundesliga *.
The unsettled team after nine games without a win will be challenged at all levels in order to preserve the remaining chance of relegation.
All young players dream of a great career, this coming weekend could get the first real dent with a defeat and the then perhaps already established relegation.
