Kingsley Coman has to watch idly as FC Bayern develops its new offensive style.

The French stoked the competition with an announcement.

Munich – FC Bayern is again leaders in the Bundesliga.

At the start, the Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt was shot 6-1 out of their own stadium.

DFB Cup winner RB Leipzig also suffered a beating in front of their home crowd at 3: 5 in the Supercup.

Since this season, Bayern have had to do without their Robert Lewandowski goal guarantee.

The newly formed offensive quartet around Thomas Müller, Sadio Mané, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala made the Pole forget right away - even though FC Bayern Munich was not able to play with the best line-up.

Because with Kingsley Coman, the record champions have another arrow in their quiver, the Frenchman is missing due to a red suspension from the previous season.

However, that does not stop the winning goal scorer from the 2020 Champions League final from sending a declaration of war to his colleagues.

FC Bayern shines: Kingsley Coman is suspended

For Kingsley Coman, the new season began extremely bitterly - or rather: the past season ended with an unnecessary assault.

In the penultimate Bundesliga game against Stuttgart, the "King" saw the red card after a punch in the face of his opponent and was suspended for three games.

Coman will miss one last time on the upcoming match day against VfL Wolfsburg.

Curious: The 26-year-old missed two games against Wolves, and on matchday 34 it was against Lower Saxony, but at that time in the Autostadt.

So while his colleagues on the offensive can diligently collect plus points, Coman is doomed to watch.

Only in the Supercup was he allowed to participate for the last half hour.

However, that seems to motivate Coman as well, the speed dribbler is already scratching his hooves before his return.

Who earns how much?

Although the Frenchman has yet to find his place in Bayern's new attacking team, he is brimming with confidence.

"I think I'm really complete because, as I always say, scoring goals isn't the most important thing for me.

FC Bayern: Coman praises Mané despite intensified competition

For the new season Sadio Mané was bought for scoring goals.

The Senegalese can play in the center of the attack, but is originally more at home on the left side - in Coman's position.

"He's one of the best in our position, in my position as a winger or striker," says Coman, who sees more than just a competitor in Mané.

"If you play with players like that you can improve a lot, they can teach you a lot.

I definitely know that we can all grow together, as people and as a team," says Coman, explaining the positive effect of newcomer Mané on the team.

"I want to be among the best, so he's definitely someone I look to.

But also to help him at the same time, because I want him to be in the best shape.” The superstar only showed that Mané is a real role model this week when he showed up for training on the day off.
