A German state broadcaster survey has been condemned as “racist” by players and the coach of the country’s national football team.
The Ard poll asked whether there were enough white players in the German nation team, which is gearing up for the European Champions held in the country this month.
German head coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Sunday the survey was “racist,” adding: “I feel we need to wake up.”
Joshua Kimmich, a Germany midfielder, had the previous day denounced the survey as “racist,” and Nagelsmann agreed, saying: “I see this in exactly the same way. This question is insane. There are people in Europe who’ve had to flee because of war, economic factors, environmental disasters, [and] people who simply want to be taken in.”
According to reports, Kimmich had said it was “madness for a public broadcaster to ask such a question” and added “A football team can...

Berlin, May 22 (Ians) A sense of optimism appears to offer some solace to Thomas Tuchel as dark clouds gather over Bayern Munich. “Next season we will do better,” the 49-year-old coach asserted, hinting at a glimmer of hope amid the turmoil currently gripping the club.
Tuchel casts himself as a soothsayer, forecasting sunnier days ahead while the Bavarians currently weather a relentless storm, with no immediate reprieve in sight. Painting a hopeful picture seems to be his chosen method to avoid confronting the sensitive decisions that 2023 will inevitably demand, reports Xinhua.
Leadership Issues
Amid speculation over the futures of club leaders like Chairman Oliver Kahn and Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic, the disheartening defeat to Leipzig underscored the team’s apparent leadership deficit. The squad’s unraveling on home turf after just 30 minutes was not the first instance of Bayern squandering a seemingly secure game this season.

Berlin, April 20 (Ians) The road to success for reigning German champion Bayern Munich remains bumpy.
Despite a noisy mid-season change of coaches from Julian Nagelsmann to Thomas Tuchel, the desired impact has yet to materialise. The third consecutive exit in the last-eight stage of the UEFA Champions League over the past three years is a significant setback, as the Bundesliga giant’s international ambitions demand better results.
Along with the 4-1 aggregate defeat in the duel against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City comes a disappointing exit in the German Cup against underdog Sc Freiburg.
Following a fairly strong performance in the second leg against the Sky Blues, Bayern’s new coach faces uncertain times as the squad appears to need rebuilding, reports Xinhua.
Clashing with the Premier League side and inconsistent performances in other competitions revealed Bayern’s scoring problem. Failing to sign a top-class striker remains the 2020 treble winner...

Munich (Germany), April 18 (Ians) To survive in stormy times, calmness seems the most promising recipe. Ahead of their Champions League last eight-round second leg against Manchester City this Wednesday evening, the struggling side of Bayern Munich seems to follow that guideline exactly.
Forgetting about the team-internal turmoil, rumours of a decaying squad, the noisy change of coaches, and the sportive malaise seem to work for the moment, reports Xinhua.
Everyone is keeping their feet behind the line and focusing on creating a miracle after the 3-0 setback in the first leg against the Skyblues.
Current statistics might not create optimism. Defenders such as Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard scored the goals in the recent four games, while strikers and midfielders seem stuck in a fatal goal drought.
Three goals in four games are the lowest figure since autumn 2018. A similar poor harvest Bayern experienced back in 1998 when the Bavarians spoiled...

Berlin, April 12 (Ians) Taking on Europe’s presumed best side after only 15 days in charge might be one of the biggest challenges for a coach.
When signing his contract with Bayern Munich until 2024 about two weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel likely considered what was next in the Champions League quarterfinals, reports Xinhua.
The 49-year-old’s fourth game at the helm took the former Paris and Chelsea manager back to England, where he achieved his greatest success to date by leading Chelsea to win the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City and their Spanish star coach Pep Guardiola.
This time, Tuchel was less fortunate despite devising a sophisticated tactical approach for what he called “a high-speed line-up.”
Hoping to repeat his success from two years ago, Julian Nagelsmann’s predecessor chose a surprising starting eleven, leaving club icon Thomas Muller on the bench and selecting speedy players Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman,...

Berlin, April 3 (Ians) There was only a small amount of celebration when the new coach of Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel, talked about his first game with the team.
The mission to regain the league lead might have been accomplished by beating Borussia Dortmund 4-2, but the victory seemed overshadowed by repeating turmoil due to the noisy dismissal of Tuchel’s predecessor Julian Nagelsmann, reports Xinhua.
Former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach Tuchel admitted he had rarely been as nervous as he was during his debut with the Bavarian club. The 49-year-old praised the determination and will of his new squad but spoke of “a lot of potential we have to reveal.”
Tuchel’s perfect start was somewhat clouded by growing tensions between Bayern’s leaders, the agents for sacked Nagelsmann, and Bayern icon Lothar Matthaeus.

Berlin, March 28 (Ians) Only a small circle of people gathered on the training pitch, while a large crowd of fans and media had assembled outside to witness the first day of exercise of Bayern Munich’s new coach Thomas Tuchel.
With most of the squad away on international duty, only two sessions with the entire squad are possible until Saturday’s delicate Bundesliga duel against Borussia Dortmund.
The 49-year-old seemed to take the circumstances calmly as only Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting reported for action, aside from six youth talents and a few back-benchers from the professional squad, reports Xinhua.
It is more than a bold guess that the start of the successor of sacked Julian Nagelsmann could have been easier.

Berlin, March 27 (Ians) Bayern Munich remains in a state of unrest after the dismissal of coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Despite having quickly found a suitable replacement, former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, the mood in the Bavarian club remains at an alarmingly low level, reports Xinhua.
While the 49-year-old Tuchel is going to conduct his first training session this Monday, fans and players seem to regret the surprise sacking of Nagelsmann.
Midfielders Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich spoke about an emotional loss while praising the former coach as one of football’s best.
Kimmich denied reports of the 35-year-old Nagelsmann having lost the locker room.
Goretzka spoke about a deep relationship with the fired manager. “Not only I spent a lot of time on the training ground and meetings, we maybe spend more time with him as we did with our families over the past 18 months,” the German international added.

Munich, March 24 (Ians) German club Bayern Munich on Friday sacked manager Julian Nagelsmann after less than two years in charge and appointed Thomas Tuchel as his replacement until 2025.
The German side have won the last 10 Bundesliga titles and sit second in the table this season – one point behind leaders Borussia Dortmund. They beat Paris St-Germain to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face Manchester City.
The 49-year old Tuchel, who was sacked by Premier League club Chelsea in September, replaces Nagelsmann on a contract until 30 June 2025 and will take training for the first time on Monday.
“When we signed Julian Nagelsmann in the summer of 2021, we were convinced we would work with him on a long-term basis – and that was the goal of all of us right up to the end. But now we have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad – despite the Bundesliga...

Berlin, March 24 (Ians) The reported dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann as coach of Bayern Munich might have come as a surprise on Friday.
Former Chelsea and Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel will be the successor, and an official confirmation is expected to come after Tuchel’s signing later. The timing though gives proof of the club’s unrest and impatience when it comes to in-house difficulties.
To win titles has been an obsession-like must over decades for the Bavarians with the successful leaders Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in charge.
The duo’s success might have increased the pressure on their followers, chairman Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, a Xinhua report said.
Despite having beaten French giant Paris St German in the last 16 of the Champions League, the loss of the national league lead triggered serious concerns over a title-less disaster in the 2022/23 season.
Two years ago, Nagelsmann was seen as the rising coaching star.

Berlin, March 20 (Ians) Bayer Leverkusen’s Exequiel Palacios scored twice from the penalty spot to upset Bayern Munich with a 2-1 comeback win in the Bundesliga.
The Werkself staged a lively opening period and kept Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer busy, but neither Kerem Demirbay nor Jeremie Frimpong was able to break the deadlock on Sunday night.
It was the Bavarians who opened the scoring out of thin air and with their first attempt on target, as Joshua Kimmich’s deflected effort caught Leverkusen custodian Lukas Hradecky flat-footed with 22 minutes gone.
Chances were at a premium for the remainder of the first half as Leverkusen were stunned while the visitors lacked in penetration, a Xinhua report said.

It seems more than a bold guess that neither Muller nor his teammates at Bayern Munich are overwhelmingly amused by having to meet their former coach Pep Guardiola and the Spaniard’s current team Manchester City, reports Xinhua.
After the Bavarians eliminated Paris St. Germain in the previous round, the next hard nut to crack is waiting.
Guardiola failed to win the Champions League with the Bavarians, but three times ended up in the semifinals.

Berlin (Germany), March 12 (Ians) Benjamin Pavard had a first-half brace as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Augsburg 5-3 in the 24th round of the Bundesliga.
Augsburg enjoyed a fairy-tale start on the road on Saturday as Mergim Berisha benefitted from Pavard’s poor clearance attempt and drilled the ball past Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer to score with two minutes played, reports Xinhua.
Bayern turned up as the match progressed and restored parity with 15 minutes gone when Joao Cancelo finished off a solo run with a well-placed low shot.
The German giants’ comeback was completed four minutes later as Pavard utilised Sadio Mane’s overhead kick before hammering it into the bottom right corner.
Augsburg couldn’t hold the pace and Bayern wasn’t done with the scoring. Pavard wrapped up his brace in the 35th minute after slotting home a rebound with a scissors kick from close range.

The 3-0 in aggregate against Psg in the last-16 round has opened doors for big dreams based on a wide range of realism, reports Xinhua news agency.
“If we keep on acting with that will, passion, and robustness, we will be hard to beat,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.
The Bavarian coach’s statement was far from exaggeration but contained a newly grown taste of confidence.
The team seems to have grown together, including the coach, and the side managed to overcome doubtful times on the national and international stages.
Paris superstar Kylian Mbappe respectfully mentioned that “Bayern has built a team to win the Champions League.”
Matthijs de Ligt might be one of many examples causing optimism Bayern has adopted a lionhearted approach next to the individual quality of its players.

Berlin (Germany), March 9 (Ians) Bayern Munich advanced into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals after seeing off Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 (3-0 on aggregate) thanks to second-half goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry in the second leg of the last 16 on Wednesday.
Paris Saint-Germain (Psg) made a bright start as Kylian Mbappe raced down the left wing before testing Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer with an attempt from a tight angle following a fast break with only two minutes played.
Both teams looked afraid to concede and focused on defence, with goalscoring opportunities remaining at a premium, reports news agency Xinhua.
Bayern created their first clear-cut chance with 15 minutes gone when Leon Goretzka’s low shot from distance called Psg goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma into action.
The visitors had their biggest opportunity to restore parity in the 38th minute but Matthijs de Ligt blocked Vitinha’s shot after Sommer was dispossessed in his own box.

Not only coach Julian Nagelsmann announced the outcome is going to decide about good or bad when it comes to this campaign’s evaluation. After the disappointing exit against underdog Villareal in the last-8 last season, the Bayern coach is said to stand under close supervision.
Despite the 1-0 victory in Paris, the 2020 treble winners’ concerns couldn’t be greater as unpleasant memories are alive about the 33 minutes in mid-February when recovered Kylian Mbappe turned up and single-handedly changed the game’s pattern.

Berlin (Germany), Feb 4 (Ians) Manuel Neuer has attacked Bayern Munich club leaders over the dismissal of goalkeeper coach Toni Tapalovic.
The 36-year-old said that he considered leaving the club “as this was a heavy blow for me as I was already lying on the ground.”
While the 2014 world champion is recovering from a skiing accident leading to a broken leg, Bayern announced that they had sacked 42-year-old Tapalovic due to disagreements with head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The Bayern keeper is sidelined for at least until the end of the 2022-2023 season.
Neuer said he “thought about everything, including my future with the club.”
The 2020 treble winner talked about the feeling his heart had been ripped out, saying the club’s action was the most “brutal thing I experienced in my career.”
Tapalovic not only had been Bayern’s goalkeeper coach since 2011 but also is a trusted family friend of Neuer.

Berlin (Germany), Jan 29 (Ians) Time seems to be running out for struggling Bayern Munich to get in shape ahead of their delicate UEFA Champions League duel against Paris Saint-Germain.
With only two weeks to go, the Bavarians’ club leaders and coach Julian Nagelsmann are avoiding the word crisis, but concerns are growing that the reigning German champions will fail to go toe-to-toe with the French giants.
While Nagelsmann is talking about a need to gain confidence, chairman Oliver Kahn has spoken of a post-World Cup trauma.
“I see two teams, the one we had in advance of the World Cup and the one we have after the tournament,” the 53-year-old stated after his side drew their last three matches, against Rb Leipzig, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayern lost their pre-World Cup flow and delivered their worst restart after a winter break since 2007. Three disappointing draws last hit the club in 1978, reports news agency Xinhua.

Berlin (Germany), Jan 27 (Ians) It might have been the explicit intention of Sadio Mane to let pictures send out a convincing message of hope.
After all, not only the photographers at Bayern Munich’s training ground seemed pleased to see the 30-year-old Senegal star back in action.
With temperatures around the freezing point, two months after his leg injury, the striker delivered the expected pictures containing hope and determination.
His message seemed striking to everyone: The race to make it back for the delicate last 16 duels in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on February 14 and March 8 has started.
Constantly smiling, the former Liverpool star carried out his running session persisting in the low temperatures in the winterly Bavarian atmosphere.
Without wearing a warming beanie, he had his tracksuit bottoms rolled up as if it was a pleasantly sunny springtime day. Leaving the locker room, Mane enthusiastically spread his arms,...

Berlin (Germany), Jan 25 (Ians) Three weeks ahead of the delicate duel against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the mood around Bayern Munich has hit rock bottom.
As if the painful loss of keeper Manuel Neuer wasn’t enough, disappointing league results and additional cases of indiscipline increased the tensions.
The Bavarians not only saw their lead shrink in the race for the national title after two draws against Leipzig and Cologne, but team internal procedures seem to get out of hand.
While Neuer suffers from a broken leg after a careless ski vacation at the end of December 2022, forcing the 2020 treble winner to invest nine million euros for replacement Yann Sommer, an insensitive trip of Serge Gnabry between two important games is bringing emotions to the boil, reports Xinhua news agency.

Berlin (Germany), Jan 25 (Ians) Joshua Kimmich’s late hammer secured Bayern Munich a 1-1 draw with courageous Cologne while ruthless Leipzig crushed last-placed Schalke 6-1 in the curtain raiser of the 17th round.
Cologne caught a fairy-tale start on the road and stunned Bayern with the early opener in the fourth minute when Julian Chabot flicked on Florian Kainz’s corner to the back post where Ellyes Skhiri finished the job from very close range.
Bayern remained unimpressed and controlled possession but still Cologne posed more threats in front of the target as goalie Yann Sommer had to defuse a low cross to deny Skhiri a second goal at the half-hour mark, reports Xinhua.
The hosts eventually created their first opportunity in the 44th minute when Benjamin Pavard forced Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwabe into action for the first time.

Berlin (Germany), Jan 21 (Ians) Former European champions Bayern Munich shared the spoils with resilient Leipzig in a match that could be considered the curtain raiser of the second half of the Bundesliga season.
Marcel Halstenberg’s goal in the second half cancelled out Bayern striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s first-half opener as the two teams came out tied 1-1 on Friday night.
The Bavarians took the reins from the kick-off and almost opened the scoring with eight minutes played when Serge Gnabry rattled the woodwork with a shot from the edge of the box.
Bayern enjoyed more possession of the ball, but Leipzig looked quick and dangerous on counterattacks as the match progressed. Emil Forsberg forced Yann Sommer into action in the 22nd minute, but his effort was denied comfortably by Bayern’s new goalie, reports Xinhua.

Berlin, Jan 17 (Ians) Time seems short to achieve some improvement for Leipzig star Konrad Laimer in the two remaining games against Bayern Munich.
The league will restart on Friday after the winter break, as Leipzig will play against leaders Bayern Munich, reports Xinhua news agency.
Seven defeats, three draws, and only one victory while in the shirt of Leipzig neither satisfy the Austrian international nor his teammates.
But crossing swords with the reigning German champion goes beyond the ordinary rivalry for the 25-year-old. The Bavarians are said to be the midfielder’s new club from next summer on.
Reports speak of a done deal with none of the involved parties expressing disapproval.
At present, he claims it’s his job to turn this season’s title race into a nail-biting issue. A victory is closing the gap down to only three points and turning coach Marco Rose’s team into a serious title competitor.

Berlin, Dec 10 (Ians) Germany and Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer has been ruled out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg while skiing during ‘extra vacation’ time allocated after his nation’s FIFA World Cup elimination.
The 36-year-old played every minute of Germany’s campaign in Qatar which saw them get knocked out of the group stages for the second successive tournament.
The veteran goalkeeper, who has been given extra time off by Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann, confirmed in an Instagram post on Saturday that he underwent surgery that will rule him out for the rest of the season.
“What can I say, the end of the year could have definitely gone better,” Neuer wrote along with his picture in a hospital bed with his right leg in a cast and a bandage on his left hand.

Berlin, Nov 9 (Ians) Serge Gnabry’s hat-trick helped Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich to cruise 6-1 past hapless Werder Bremen on Tuesday.
The Bavarians made a fairy tale start on home soil and broke the deadlock with six minutes gone when Jamal Musiala tapped home the opener from close range.
Bremen responded straight away as Anthony Jung latched onto Mitchell Weiser’s good build-up work to restore parity moments later, reports Xinhua.
Bayern should have retaken the lead but Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting couldn’t beat Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka from the penalty spot in the 15th minute.
The record German champions continued powerful and eventually made it 2-1 six minutes later as Gnabry collected a loose ball inside the box to curl the ball past Pavlenka into the far corner.

Berlin, Nov 8 (Ians) Bayern Munich chairman Oliver Kahn might have hit the nail on the head expressing his view on the latest UEFA Champions League draw. “Hard to say in what condition we will be at that time,” the former German international said after Paris Saint-Germain were drawn as the Bavarians’ opponents.
Kahn’s thoughts might not only apply to the 2020 treble winners but to the three remaining German clubs.
Along with Bayern’s tricky tie against the team of superstars such as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, Borussia Dortmund, Rb Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt also face challenging assignments, reports Xinhua.
Leipzig cross swords with Manchester City and their Norwegian goal machine Erling Haaland, while Dortmund will face former players Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Christian Pulisic when they take on Chelsea.
Frankfurt, as one of the campaign’s knockout stage surprises, will face a stern test against Serie A leaders Napoli.

Rio de Janeiro, Nov 8 (Ians) What is a seemingly innocuous World Cup opening phase for the Netherlands promises to be one of trials and tribulations for Senegal, Ecuador and hosts Qatar. While the Oranje are tipped by many to breeze through their first three fixtures, much less is expected of their Group A rivals.
Senegal have not progressed to the knockout rounds since 2002. Ecuador last did it in 2006. Qatar have never done so as they make their first World Cup appearance. The Netherlands will be determined to reassert themselves on football’s biggest stage after their absence from the 2018 tournament in Russia.
Here is a Xinhua’s breakdown of the four teams in Group A, which kicks off on November 20 when Qatar and Ecuador meet in Al Khor.
The Netherlands
Having failed to qualify for the 2016 European Championship and the 2018 World Cup, the Netherlands are back among Europe’s elite.

Berlin (Germany), Oct 20 (Ians) Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a brace to help Bayern Munich advance into the German Cup pre-quarterfinals after seeing off a resilient Augsburg 5-2 in the knockout tournament.
Augsburg started brightly on home soil as Ermedin Demirovic kept Bayern’s defence busy in the opening stages on Wednesday night.
The hosts’ strong start paid off after nine minutes, as Elvis Rexhbecaj set up for Mads Pedersen, who had time to drill the ball past Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.
Bayern responded well and increased the pressure before Choupo-Moting restored parity from a tight angle in the 27th minute.
The visitors should have taken the lead two minutes later but Sadio Mane couldn’t beat Augsburg custodian Tomas Koubek, reports Xinhua.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men eventually turned the tide after the restart as Choupo-Moting teed up for Joshua Kimmich, who slotted home with a low shot in the 53rd minute.

Berlin (Germany), Oct 17 (Ians) Behind some of the football fairy-tale-like stories, one at times can discover dry figures. The Fc Union Berlin might be one of these examples, as the Berlin side is safely riding the wave as the German leagues’ top dog after one-third of the season.
The team of Swiss coach Urs Fischer might not be mentioned among football artists but determines the pace of the Bundesliga when it comes to running figures, defensive organization, effectiveness, and passion.
The first comparisons pop up, reminding fans of league newcomer Fc Kaiserslautern, which took the title in 1998 as a surprise, followed by the Premier League sensation delivered by underdog Leicester City in 2016.
The German league’s highest running figures (119 kilometres per game) next to the lowest number of conceived goals (six) come along for Union with under 30 percent of ball possession and an almost ludicrous passing rate of way beyond 70 percent.

Berlin, Oct 9 (Ians) Bayern Munich wasted a two-goal lead after Anthony Modeste’s last-gasp equaliser snatched a two-all draw on home soil in the ninth round of Bundesliga on Saturday.
Both sides staged a rough first half with many fouls which disrupted the flow of the game hence goalscoring opportunities were at a premium.
The spectators had to wait until the half-hour mark to witness the first chances of the game as Raphael Guerreiro’s dangerous shot forced Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer into action.
Bayern however opened the scoring out of the blue moments later, as Jamal Musiala had all time and space to tee up for Leon Goretzka, who beat custodian Alexander Meyer with a well-placed shot from the edge of the box into the bottom left corner, reports Xinhua. Dortmund had the chance to make it 1-1 in the 36th minute but Donyell Malen couldn’t beat Neuer in a one-on-one.

Berlin, Oct 4 (Ians) At present, fans of Sadio Mane might have to go through unusually hard times. No selfies, no brief chats, not even autographs are allowed despite his latest league goal cheered by thousands of spectators.
Following weeks of drought, his return to a satisfying performance has triggered a wave of relief around the Senegal international. But due to several in-team Covid-19 infections, patience is required when it comes to fans. Training sessions turned into far-away enjoyments.
Bayern have decided to implement distance between their stars and the clubs’ supporters. The former Liverpool star is forced to follow the rules as his teammates do. While the 30-year-old striker is in good health, unlike the recently-infected Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich, safety measures have become inevitable ahead of the Bavarians’ Champions League group encounter against Viktoria Plzen this Tuesday evening in Munich.

Berlin, Sep 14 (Ians) After a 2-0 victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich chairman Oliver Kahn might have recognized the importance of the Bavarians’ second group win to help vanish the crisis talking.
“It’s great we won the game and we enjoy it. But Barca is only a step in between on a long journey,” the former German international said. “We didn’t do perfectly on all sectors in the game.”
Like many, Kahn is talking about one of the best squads in the club’s history, while president Herbert Hainer mentioned Bayern’s economic advantage compared to several European competitors, reports Xinhua.
“We are well equipped due to sense-making financial procedures we strictly follow. As you can see, Bayern is highly attractive to international stars,” Hainer added.
For Kahn, it seems a logical demand triggered by the investments to expect a satisfying performance on the international stage.

Berlin, Sep 11 (Ians) Thomas Mullers’ mood couldn’t have been worse. The Bavarian icon struggled for words after his side had delivered the poorest season start of Bundesliga in 12 years.
“I am terribly upset, upset about ourselves,” the striker stated in a grouchy tone after a poor 2-2 draw with league underdog Stuttgart on Saturday.
“We have gambled the game away and not everybody seems to understand we are far from where we want to be,” the 32-year-old said while the crowd’s displeasure was audible in the Munich arena, reports Xinhua.
In just two days, the 2020 treble winners are crossing swords with Spanish giants Barcelona and their former goal supplier Robert Lewandowski in the UEFA Champions League.
Since the Pole made his noisy departure a few weeks ago, Bayern Munich have claimed three disappointing draws after six rounds on their way to defending the league title.

Berlin (Germany), Sep 6 (Ians) Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski dominate the news around Bayern Munich ahead of the Bavarian’s 2022/23 Champions League opener against Inter this Wednesday evening.
Despite both top strikers playing in the shirt of Tottenham and Barcelona, the 29-year-old Englishman and 34-year-old Pole seem omnipresent after the reigning German champions slipped into a goal-and-result crisis in the national league.
Two disappointing draws added fuel to the smoldering and controversial discussion around if Bayern can make up for the loss of Lewandowski and plans to sign one of the Premier Leagues leading strikers next summer.
Scoring only two goals out of 56 chances against national rivals such as Moenchengladbach and Union made the 2020 treble winner lose the league lead and drop back to the third position.
While the new tactical 4-2-2-2-system based on several forwards changing positions upfront paid off in the first three games when...

Berlin, Sep 4 (Ians) Reigning champions Bayern Munich dropped points for the second time in a row after courageous Union Berlin secured a 1-1 stalemate on home soil in the fifth round of the Bundesliga.
The “Bavarians” started brightly and controlled possession while Union kept all its men behind the ball, lurking for counterattack opportunities on Saturday evening.
Berlin shocked the visitors out of the blue in the 12th minute when Christopher Trimmel’s free kick into the box allowed Sheraldo Becker to open the scoring from 11 metres, reports Xinhua. Bayern answered only three minutes later as Joshua Kimmich’s deflected shot on target caught Union goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow flat-footed.
The visitors dominated possession and piled on the pressure, but Ronnow was on guard with a diving save to refuse Leroy Sane’s dangerous shot on target in the 36th minute.
Sane remained in the thick of things as he curled...

Berlin (Germany), Sep 1 (Ians) Bayern Munich’s gifted talented players continued on their record-setting journey in the German Cup.
While the 5-0 victory in the first round of the German Cup against third-tier side Viktoria Cologne was far from a surprise, all the more it was the performance of Mathys Tel.
The French striker became the Bavarians’ youngest goal scorer at 17 years and 126 days in the Cup competition since the 2020 treble winner made its way to the Bundesliga in 1965.
Despite having to live with the burden of a youngster of his age’s exorbitant transfer sum of 20 million euros, the former Stade Rennais forward crushed the record of 19-year-old shooting star Jamal Musiala, who scored at 17 years and 205 days.
His coach Julian Nagelsmann announced to carefully develop the striker as “he is extremely talented but only 17”. The Bayern coach nevertheless predicted that Tel is on his way to building a brilliant career.

Berlin, Aug 22 (Ians) Utterly rampant Bayern Munich are the only Bundesliga side with a 100 per cent record after three games following a 7-0 triumph at Bochum on Sunday.
Leroy Sane, Matthijs de Ligt and Kingsley Coman, all making their first starts of the league season, netted before Sadio Mane also scored in the first half as the champions surged two points clear at the top already, reports Dpa.
