TV expert and ex-Bayern player Markus Babbel has pre-buttoned in an interview with
Sky
midfield star Joshua Kimmich.
"But I noticed last season that he no longer has the discipline to play in his position," Babbel railed against Kimmich, and continued: "He does gymnastics everywhere, just not where he should play. "
Babbel sees Kimmich's airs and graces: "Meanwhile, I have the feeling that he wants to shine and that because of his status you can no longer attack him, let alone touch him.
As if he were wearing ballerina shoes, he suddenly just falls down.” As an example, the TV expert cites a controversial scene at the home game against VfB Stuttgart, in which Kimmich was lucky to concede a whistle and VfB’s goal was disallowed .

“It was crazy that the situation in our own penalty area was whistled off against VfB Stuttgart.
I expect that he will fight back more,” Babbel complains.

Nagelsmann counted as Bayern coach?
Successor is ready
Update from September 21, 12:44 p.m .:
The tree burns at FC Bayern after the 0-1 defeat last Saturday.
Julian Nagelsmann's team are doing well in the Champions League, but in the Bundesliga the record champions are already five points behind first place and have been waiting for a win for four games.
Coach Nagelsmann was very thin-skinned on the PK after the FCA bankruptcy, he seems counted.
In keeping with this, the name Thomas Tuchel is increasingly haunting Säbener Straße.
The ex-Chelsea coach is currently without a club and would be ready if things couldn't go better with Nagelsmann at Bayern in the coming weeks.
Hasan Salihamidzic already met with Tuchel in 2018 and would have liked to have brought him as a Bayern coach.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also spoke out clearly in favor of Tuchel internally at the time.
In the end, however, Uli Hoeneß prevailed and Niko Kovac took over.
The wrong decision, as has long since turned out.
Now Tuchel, who became CL winner with Chelsea in 2021, would be available again.
Trouble at FC Bayern: Coach Nagelsmann criticizes the team and speaks of "chicken piles"
First report from September 21, 12 noon:
Munich – The mood at Bayern is more than tense these days.
The 0:1 at FC Augsburg on Saturday was the pinnacle of undesirable developments in the last Bundesliga games.
That's why "Krisn" is currently on Säbener Straße instead of Wiesn.
Julian Nagelsmann's press conference after the Augsburg game was memorable and showed that Bayern are in a bad way at the moment.
Apparently there was a cabin spat after the 2-2 win against VfB Stuttgart the week before.

What was meant was the tactical behavior against the Swabians.
This choice of words was apparently not well received by the stars, because Nagelsmann himself was the one who caused some chaos with his mega-rotation (six changes).
Nagelsmann criticized at FC Bayern – players did not like the “chicken pile” statement
On Saturday after the defeat at FCA, Nagelsmann and his lads are said to have immediately started working on the game.
The coach is said to have shown video material immediately after the end of the game with scenes in which he was not satisfied.
Above all, the many chances to score that were not consistently played to the end and the unfocused passing game in the last third caught Nagelsmann's eye.

On Sunday, the coach met with the team council to address the mistakes again.
In addition, Nagelsmann wanted to know from Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich and Co where the problems came from.
Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic was also part of the game.
Whether and what things will change will only be known in ten days, because 18 stars are now with their national teams.
On September 30th, Munich will continue in the league against Bayer Leverkusen.
Then you will see if the problems could be solved.
If not, things could get even more uncomfortable for Nagelsmann.
