Sadio Mané's personal descent goes hand in hand with Bayern Munich's crisis.
Criticism is now hailing above all from ex-professional Didi Hamann.
Munich – One could almost feel sorry for Sadio Mané on this Saturday afternoon.
Again, the star new signing of FC Bayern Munich remained unlucky and goalless over 90 minutes.
This time against FC Augsburg (0:1).
Then he chose the wrong exit when going to the team bus.
A steward had to bring Mané back and show him the right way.
Significant.
For Mané there are now four league games in a row without his own goal, including a falling form curve.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann sees the problem in Manés too much self-criticism, but the poor performance against Augsburg at the weekend suggests that the problem lies even deeper.
Mané "a foreign body in the game": Hamann is clearly critical
"He's not integrated," Sky expert and ex-professional Didi Hamann is sure.
In an interview with
web.de
, he explained before the Augsburg bankruptcy: "I saw him at Liverpool FC, where he played through the middle.
That's not his position.
Now he also takes this position at FC Bayern.
It's at its best when it comes from the outside.
He doesn't look happy to me."
Mané is currently isolated in the Bayern squad and hardly takes part in the game.
Even more: “No one is talking about Mané at the moment.” This was confirmed promptly against Augsburg.
When Mané ran alone towards FCA goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz in the 13th minute, he was denied by the goalkeeper.
again.
"When Lewandowski was still there, everyone knew what to do," Hamann rumbled on Sky afterwards.
"You have now brought a world star with Mané, who is a foreign body in the game."
Hamann: "Must put Mané on the bench"
Hamann went even further on web.de: "I think that Mané should also be put on the bench if he continues to play so little part in Bayern's game." Bayern officials, on the other hand, are still exercising restraint.
"We talk a lot, we encourage him and try to get him on the right path," emphasized sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic after the game.
But: "He has to do it himself on the pitch."
Most recently, Mané had been self-critical and emphasized to
Sport1
: "I'll soon show what I can do again.
You don't have to worry about me now.” The proof is still pending.
