The disappointment in Bayern after yesterday’s away defeat at Augsburg is huge.
As a reminder, the Bavarians were defeated by Augsburg 1:0 in the eighth round of the Bundesliga on Saturday and are currently on a streak of four league games without a win. After three draws, the first defeat of the season followed.
Given the poor editions last time, Bayern have dropped to fourth place in the table with 12 points, while leaders Borussia Dortmund are on 15 points. In the Champions League, Bayern have two triumphs, against Inter away and Barcelona at home, but things look completely different in Germany.
“We haven’t won in four games. I’m a little worried. We didn’t finish a few chances, and we had very few. We can’t celebrate like that in the Bundesliga. We have problems against physically strong teams. Now there are no more excuses, now we need victories, otherwise terrible things happen”, said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic after the match.
Everyone sees the biggest culprit in coach Julian Nagelsman, who said after the game:
“Today I will not single out any player. The current negative trend is not good. Many things must change. I’ll think about it and see how it goes. I will think about everything, about myself, about the situation, about everything.”
Many are wondering if Nagelsmann will see Bayern’s next match as he has a break until the end of the month, and Bayern’s management is losing patience and the question is whether they intend to keep him.
After all, Nagelsmann is now ready to do something that none of his predecessors have done, and that has especially disappointed and angered fans.
Namely in Munich, the Oktoberfest which started yesterday is a place where many fans and residents of Bavaria gather, and Bayern players and coaches appear regularly and their presence only enhances the whole event.
However, Nagelsman said that he does not plan to visit this festival, of course because he is disappointed with the last results.
“If the team leaves, I will have to go with it.” But I see no point in going to Oktoberfest. I will also tell the club. Basically, I have no desire to go,” said the coach of the Bavarians.
The German media believe that even this break is not in favor of Nagelsmann, because almost all Bayern players go to representative meetings and he simply does not have time to talk with them.
