After the second win in the second game, there is still not total satisfaction at FC Bayern. Thomas Müller explains why.
Whoever finds the fly in the ointment on his own initiative tends to be on the right track. No one wanted to hang the 3:1 victory over Augsburg at FC Bayern too high on Sunday evening, after all, who knows how long the German champions would have struggled had Felix Uduokhai not unfortunately deflected the ball into his own goal. Would have, would have …
Anger at conceding a goal
“It wasn’t our best game now,” Joshua Kimmich acknowledged, but he could care less in the end. “It was still a commanding victory, I think.” Thomas Müller also thought that the second half was a commanding one, as the FCB basically conceded nothing apart from the late goal. “That was a bit annoying,” Müller was annoyed, drawing out the “i” in the “bit”. “We actually wanted to hold Ulle harmless. “
The veteran from the bench also saw that his own performance was often still a little uncertain and tentative. “You can already see that we have certain processes in place,” says Müller. And yet: “You still have to say that the level and our way of playing football is actually still a bit sharper in training than we can implement in the game. “
The crosses in particular leave a lot to be desired
At the start of the season, Bayern are still lacking the automatisms, the naturalness in the game. If the opponent closes the gap – as FCA did on Sunday – there’s not much more to it than pushing and adventurous crosses that even a striker of Harry Kane’s calibre can’t do much with.
Nevertheless, the bottom line is two wins from two games, “it can go on like this,” says Müller. If the next three goals come next Saturday in the “top game” in Mönchengladbach, the first international break of the season will be a quiet one at Säbener Straße.
