Bavaria
Bayern didn’t miss anything at the start of the sixth round in the German Bundesliga, beating Greuther Fürth 3-1 with ten of them.
Thomas Müller (10th), Joshua Kimmich (31st) and an own goal by Sebastian Griesbeck (68th) had fixed Bayern's clear success against the bottom of the Bundesliga, while the outsider succeeded in being outnumbered after red against Benjamin Pavard (48th) the consolation goal by Cedric Itten (87th).
Nevertheless, the dominance of the German record champions was evident. Bayern recorded 67 percent possession and did not let the game overturn even if they were outnumbered. However, the players of the German series champions were not completely satisfied, as Kimmich made clear after the game at “DAZN”. “That wasn't a brilliant achievement,” said the shooter self-critically to make it 2-0.
“We had it under control even when we were outnumbered, but there were a few too many mistakes in the first half. The bottom line was that we deserved to win it,” said the German international, praising the team's morale at the same time. “The character in the team is great, we have players who are greedy, we want to win games, we want to win titles. Even games in which we are favorites, like today, that we don't miss anything.”
Leading goal scorer Müller was similarly critical. “When you see us playing, it sometimes looks pretty good. We did score three goals, but when we got into the gaps, we didn't make enough of it. There were too many chances that we spoiled. That is complaining at a high level, but if an opponent offers us rooms, we have to use them, “said the offensive player angrily.
And made it clear: “The main thing is not to lose touch with our own development.”
Success coach Julian Nagelsmann was more sober. “In the end it is important to win against the promoted team. We scored three goals. That is good. So that's okay,” said the 34-year-old.
Which also confirmed the expulsion against Pavard. “You can give red. It was on the Achilles' heel,” said the Bavarian. However, this action should not have come about in the first place. “We're too sluggish in the situation, the rooms are too big. And the tackle wasn't necessary either, we could have defended that differently,” the Munich coach continued.
Much more annoyed the 34-year-old was the first yellow card he received for criticizing referee Robert Schröder. “That was unjustified. The ball was not out of bounds,” rumbled the coach shooting star, who will now look at the catalog of penalties himself: “The players should tell me what to pay. I will then donate that to a good cause.”
