Nagelsmann against Oktoberfest visit
The last time FC Bayern didn’t win four games in a row in the Bundesliga, Hasan Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn were on the field themselves. From November 17, 2001 to January 26, 2002, coach Ottmar Hitzfeld went seven games in a row without a win. Julian Nagelsmann still has to learn the composure that Hitzfeld maintained after disappointments. Grimly and in the style of a telegram, he commented on the first defeat of the season (to the Bundesliga table) in the press room after the 0-1 draw against FC Augsburg.
In the upcoming international break, he now wants to think a lot: “I think about everything. About me. About the situation. About everything.” Bockig Nagelsmann repeatedly complained about the lack of efficiency. His players were “simply very laissez-faire” and he didn’t feel like going to the Wiesn at all.
“If the team goes, then I have to go with them,” said the 35-year-old. In his opinion, FC Bayern’s first visit to the Oktoberfest since 2019 does not make sense, “I will also tell the club about that”. He does not know what contractual obligations exist and he does not want to comment on political issues.

During the negative series in 2001, which started at the top of the table, Bayern suffered four defeats and drew three times – the 2002 season ended two points behind champions Dortmund and one point behind Bayer 04 in third place. Hitzfeld was retained even during the difficult phase.
After the 0: 1 against a poisonous, disgusting and grandiosely fighting FCA, the Munich team had to put up with questions once again as to whether they were missing a real number 9 like Robert Lewandowski. But also whether the new flexible game system with many offensive forces is decrypted after the outstanding start to the season and recently several disappointments.
Müller on Bayern’s negative series: “The trend is catastrophic”
“I don’t know the decryption, but I’ve parried a few times,” said sporting director Salihamidzic. Lewandowski, who switched to FC Barcelona, scored twice after his personal zero in Bayern’s 2-0 win in the Champions League at the weekend in Barça’s 3-0 win against Elche. Bayern not only disliked the result, but also the approach of the stars around the again hapless Sadio Mané. “We have to drink the target water and then go into the games disciplined, focused and greedy to score goals,” said Salihamidzic, “because we can’t win games in the Bundesliga that way.”
Thomas Müller also saw a 10:2 for Bayern as a possible result. But he also acknowledged the overall difficult situation. “The trend is catastrophic if you don’t win four games,” said Müller. This is a trend that means “nothing good”, said his trainer, who now has to overcome a crisis. After the international break, it’s Bayer Leverkusen in the Allianz Arena – the bad run ended in February 2002 at home against the Werkself. On the 9th day of the game, Bayern make a guest appearance at BVB.
