Lothar Matthäus gives Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann complicity in the defeat against Frankfurt - a personnel decision in particular amazes him.
Munich - FC Bayern * has to digest its first defeat under the new coach Julian Nagelsmann *.
On Sunday, the record champions lost their home game despite leading 2-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt, who had not been victorious until then.
While Nagelsmann & Co. are now working on the bankruptcy, Lothar Matthäus * has already made an initial error analysis.
The ex-Bayern captain mainly targets Nagelsmann and advises a player to say goodbye.
Matthäus was in the stadium himself on Sunday afternoon and experienced the surprising defeat with his own eyes.
The world-class performance of Eintracht goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and the poor exploitation of opportunities by Bayern * were decisive, the right plan was missing in the second half.
One thing was a thorn in the side of the record international.
FC Bayern: Sky expert Matthäus raises violent allegations against coach Nagelsmann
"If you can blame Julian for something, it is the somewhat surprising substitution of a tactical nature when he brings Sabitzer for Süle, but puts him in the right defensive position," wrote Matthäus in his column for the TV broadcaster Sky. Nagelsmann had substituted midfielder Marcel Sabitzer after 75 minutes for Niklas Süle. Just eight minutes later, his opponent Filip Kostic scored the decisive 2-1 for Frankfurt Eintracht.
“I'm a big believer in putting players in their best position, and Marcel's definitely not in the back-right position.
You made your opponent unnecessarily strong, ”wrote the 60-year-old Matthäus.
“Sabitzer is really everything, but not a right-back.
His strengths are not on the defensive.
I don't want to go so far as to say that Nagelsmann coached himself, but that's on his head, ”criticized Matthäus.

The tactical variant with the Austrian "backfired"; Matthäus only knows such surprising changes from ex-FCB coach Pep Guardiola.
Instead, he would have expected youngster Josip Stanisic.
The trained right-back Bouna Sarr had to stew on the bench.
Matthäus does not see a Bayern player in the French and suggests a change of club.
FC Bayern: Matthäus only sees Sabitzer as a substitute
Sabitzer has not really gotten going since moving from Leipzig to Munich at the end of August.
For the flexible midfielder, who was RB captain in Saxony under Nagelsmann, it was only enough to make six substitutions.
“If all the players are fit and in shape, there is no place for the newcomer from Leipzig in the first team.
Its top position is central.
But there is no getting around Kimmich and Goretzka.
And the attacking wingers are usually set in front of him, ”says Matthäus.
But Sabitzer is a very good alternative that strengthens the squad especially in terms of breadth.
In the future, Matthäus will probably have a little more time to watch FC Bayern: his fifth divorce has been officially confirmed.
