This news ticker about FC Bayern is constantly updated.
Update from September 19, 8.35 a.m .: It
’s cracking at Bayern.
Four games without a league win, most recently the bitter 0-1 defeat in Augsburg and only fourth place in the table - it was an Oktoberfest weekend to forget for the Reds.
But already during the game in Swabia there should have been discrepancies - around Joshua Kimmich.
In the 62nd minute, coach Julian Nagelsmann brought on the offensive Serge Gnabry for right-back Noussair Mazraoui, who had been called up from the start.
Sixer Joshua Kimmich was the "sufferer" of this swap, because the national player was ordered to the right back by his coach.
And Kimmich didn't seem to like that at all.
Wasn't he keen on the right-back position?

reported, the 27-year-old complained "relatively clearly" about it - he didn't like being transferred back to the position he had held for years at FC Bayern and in the national team.
Hangover Wiesn at FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn takes on Bayern stars
First report from September 18th:
Munich – The first Wiesn visit after more than two years – and the mood is still as bad as the weather.
FC Bayern Munich visits the Oktoberfest the day after the bankruptcy in Augsburg, but after four league games without a win and nobody feels like celebrating.
Especially not Oliver Kahn: "If we're not top of the table, the situation is always precarious.
We create a wealth of opportunities, but we don't score enough goals from them.
Again and again there is a lack of ultimate consistency and the necessary concentration," he criticized.
"We need to get to the bottom of that."
Kahn continues: "We now have a 14-day break, so we'll take our time to look at everything, analyze it and have a lot of conversations.
We have all the prerequisites, an excellent squad.
We will go all out against Leverkusen.”
Does coach Julian Nagelsmann have to fear for his job?
That's how Kahn sees it
What does the record champions' winless streak mean for the coach?
No consequences for Julian Nagelsmann are yet to be feared.
Kahn: “It is perfectly clear that he is concerned about the situation.
We haven't won four games in a row.
We are all dissatisfied and in a bad mood.
We don't deal with any personal details or other trainers.
We are totally convinced of Julian.”

The "Titan" also knows that the league is longing for a new champion: "Apart from our own fans, there is nobody out there who will treat us to another championship title.
The other teams bring 120 percent against FC Bayern every time.
At the beginning of the season everything was relaxed and easy.
Perhaps one or the other has taken root with the belief that you could do the Bundesliga on the side, but that's not the case.
But I am convinced that we will find our way back on the road to success.”

Oktoberfest date at FC Bayern on Sunday: Nobody wants to
Nagelsmann himself initiated the first measures after the bankruptcy on Sunday morning.
As
Bild
and
Sport1
unanimously report, they want to have as many one-on-one talks with the players as possible on Sunday.
According to the reports, the coach appeared at Säbener Straße just after 8 a.m., the rest of the players arrived around 9 a.m.
Nagelsmann didn't have much time, because most of the players go to their national teams after the Wiesn.

Does he still feel like going to the Wiesn?
"If the team goes, then I have to go with them," said the coach, who said that the visit made no sense - and "I'll tell the club that too." And further: "Basically, I don't feel like it." That's how it looked it also sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, who made no secret of the fact that he would prefer to skip the Oktoberfest visit.
The Wiesn Mass makes him “not in the mood now, I have to honestly say.
After three points from four games, I don't know if I'll like Mass tomorrow."

Vice-captain Thomas Müller saw it that way: "I like to let the Oktoberfest be the Oktoberfest," but he also said: "Of course we'll go there." The team has no other choice: the Oktoberfest visit is one of the most important for FC Bayern Marketing Events of the Year.
