Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has increased the pressure on the team after the recent blunders against Manchester City and TSG Hoffenheim.
“We have more than 20 national players in our squad, it’s definitely not due to the sporting quality,” said the 53-year-old of “Sport Bild”. From his point of view, the players of the German soccer record champions were currently missing a lot: “Recently there was too little will, too little willingness to recognize. Inconsistency is our consistency, that can’t be the claim of this team.”
Before the second leg in the Champions League against the Cityzens in the evening (9 p.m. / DAZN), in which Bayern need a small football miracle after the 3-0 defeat in the first leg, and the final sprint in the championship with only two points more than Borussia Dortmund made Kahn responsible for the professionals. “Everyone has to know what the decisive phase of the season is all about: to show who FC Bayern is,” said the former Germany goalkeeper: “We only have a chance against Man City if we get that on the pitch .”
Despite his record of only two wins, one draw and two defeats from his first five games, he did not question the new coach Thomas Tuchel. “Under Thomas, the team will find their form and consistency again,” said Kahn, emphasizing that the separation from Julian Nagelsmann was the right thing to do: “The last few games have shown that there are some major adjustment screws that Thomas has to turn .”
