Mönchengladbach - A new era will dawn for FC Bayern * on Friday evening when Julian Nagelsmann * will be on the sidelines for the first time at a mandatory appointment.
For the record champions this season it's about the tenth championship in a row, the title hunt begins in Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach.
FC Bayern in Gladbach: is Nagelsmann's first win?
New coach has to rebuild his defense
The coach has already said everything about the past four test matches, all of which were lost except for a 2-2 draw against Ajax Amsterdam.
Observers and fans also agree that the incomplete squad of Munich was not the best prerequisite for the games against the higher-class opponents Naples, Cologne and Gladbach.
In the league opener against Borussia, Nagelsmann will for the first time be able to bet the entire team on his best team.
Despite a few failures, the Bayern staff is definitely impressive.
The use of Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso is uncertain after both started training at the beginning of the week.
Alphonso Davies has only recently been fit again, but Nagelsmann has already indicated that the Canadian would be a candidate for the starting XI.
On the defensive, the coaching team also has to come up with an alternative to the painful loss of Benjamin Pavard, who recently injured himself in training.
Lucas Hernández and Marc Roca are also missing.

Important players will also be out of the opposition, striker Breel Embolo and left-back Ramy Bensebaini will not be there, as will Manu Koné and the long-term injured Mamadou Doucouré.
On the other hand, there is good news from the attacking players Marcus Thuram and Jonas Hoffmann, who, according to Adi Hütter, could be options for the start.
Denis Zakaria is also back after a Corona * infection.

Last season the duels between the two traditional teams were of an almost unpredictable nature, in the first leg in January Borussia prevailed 3-2 after falling 2-0 at home. Bayern's revenge followed in May in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, when the foals were dealt 6-0. Now both teams meet with new coaches and new game ideas, and the tension is quite high.
