Amazing chasing duel: bayern’s plan in freiburg
Before the start of the season, no fan probably had this advent duel in the fubball bundesliga on his or her tip sheet.
As well? FC bayern, the long-time bundesliga dominator, is only in fifth place after 15 matchdays, directly followed by SC freiburg, which is two points behind – this is a real surprise ahead of the duel between the two unequal clubs this wednesday (20.30 o'clock/sky). And the munich fubball stars approach the task in the black forest stadium with some respect. "It's going to be a tough game," predicted coach hansi flick, meaning a tough match.
After the 6:1 against werder bremen with the revival of top star philippe coutinho, the feeling of strength and sovereignty at bayern is halay intact again. But the weekly plan is only one-third complete, as captain manuel neuer reminded us: "we have set ourselves nine points before the last three games."
Accordingly, first in freiburg and then on saturday against the vfl wolfsburg to be added. "To stand out in freiburg is not so easy," recalled neuer of zahe games of the past: "we want to dominate and play our game, as we have shown in the past already."
Flick is optimistic after overcoming the charge inhibition against bremen. "You noticed the greed for goals again," said the 54-year-old. Hasan salihamidzic promptly sent a message from munich to the better placed title rivals RB leipzig, borussia monchengladbach, and borussia dortmund. "I'm sure the championship can only be won by bayern munchen," the sports director said and promised for 2020: "we're going all out."
And that continues with flick as head coach? Bayern bosses won't give an answer to this question until after the last game of the season against wolfsburg. "I also have very clear ideas," flick in turn said prior to the trip to the black forest. He has his own plans, but he also wants to be the boss. He has been thinking about the winter preparation in qatar and possible transfers for a long time. "There are always if-then strategies. You have to have them. One makes already thoughts. We're certainly not unprepared," he said in the event of a trap.
But the focus is on the present. "Freiburg has been playing really good fubball for a long time now. It is not very surprising that they are on top," said national player serge gnabry. The attacker expects a pompous opponent and a special atmosphere: "that will not be an easy game for us. The stadium always shakes there."
For flick, too, the opponent and the somewhat smaller playing field are special. "It is not easy for many teams to play there. This is a team that is very compact and puts a lot of pressure on the ball. The team is rightly where it is," he said. Freiburg's high flight is for him above all the work of his coach colleague christian sreich. "What christian has done there in the last few years is just phenomenal."
Personnel situation at the record champion remains tense. Leon goretzka drops out with muscular problems. And also corentin tolisso is not present in freiburg. As the club tweeted on tuesday evening, the french midfielder is also suffering from problems with his muscles. But javi martinez returns after suspension against bremen. After goretzka's absence, flick was able to field kunstler coutinho and thomas muller together for a change. "I see no reason at all not to do this, not to try this. Both have the qualitat to play next to each other. They also complement each other well," said Flick.
