FC Bayern has not won two games in a row.
The word crisis is circulating through the Allianz Arena - now comes Greuther Leads.
The voices of the game.
Munich – First the 2:4 at VfL Bochum, then the last minute draw at RB Salzburg.
FC Bayern* has not won two games in a row.
There is a bit of a crisis in the record champions, who are anything but solid, especially on the defensive.
Now the relegated climber from Greuther Fürth is coming to the Allianz Arena.
Actually the perfect build-up opponent for Julian Nagelsmann*’s team.
Or?
In their current condition, Bayern are anything but unbeatable.
In this respect, one is already hoping for a quick return from keeper Manuel Neuer, who published an update on his injury shortly before the game against the cloverleaves.
What do those involved say about the performance of the championship leader?
Will sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić reveal anything about possible contract extensions?
It's supposed to look pretty good on Neuer.
We summarize the votes for the game between FC Bayern and Greuther Fürth on DAZN for you.
Julian Nagelsmann (coach, FC Bayern) before the game over...
.
.. the four halves of the last two games:
“We had a very bad first half in Bochum.
In Salzburg a normal one.
But we showed a good reaction in the second.
But today we aim not to repeat the first half like in Bochum.”
.
.. the fans' expectations of a possible victory:
"We also expect a victory, but we'll see how big it is.
The Champions League was tough, but the players like the rhythm.
The result from Bochum is commitment enough.”
... Dayot Upamecano, who is not yet the hoped-for defensive leader:
"He doesn't need any time, but he needs to get used to his team-mates.
If he is aware of his virtues, he is an outstanding defender.
He has sworn Mbappe or Neymar world class, I don't expect him to be a new David Alaba.
Everyone is part of the defense.
Upa is outstanding and has my trust.”
... the opponent Fürth:
"It's a completely different team than in the first half of the season.
It's much more stable, they play very hard.
I expect them similar to Bochum.
They will try to gamble.”
... the match plan:
"We don't want to play as much in the center as we did against Salzburg.
Fürth is doing very well there.”
Stefan Leitl (coach, SpVgg. Greuther Fürth) before the game over ...
... the good results recently:
"The results have given us more self-confidence, our chest is also broad.
But we also need them today.
The boys are in good spirits, we want to be a nasty opponent.”
... the match plan:
"There are always spaces at Bayern on the last chain.
We have good transition moments, but we don't want to rely on that. We want to play football bravely."
… the fear of a defiant reaction from FC Bayern:
"We shouldn't concern ourselves with Bayern, our performance will not be decisive today."
