Hoeneß “definitely”: FC Bayern is missing a center forward

Uli Hoeneß commented on his FC Bayern the day after the 2-2 win against BVB. The 70-year-old is missing a center forward in the team. Julian Nagelsmann, on the other hand, received support.

The fourth draw in the ninth game. FC Bayern is having great difficulty winning in the current Bundesliga season. In the classic game against BVB, they gave up a 2-0 lead and had to live with the point split at the last second.

Despite 25 goals this season, which means an average of almost 2.8 goals per game, the focus is often on the offensive – and the lack of a world-class nine in the team. So also with Honorary President Uli Hoeneß after the classic draw.

Hoeneß is missing a nine

Of course, the 70-year-old had an analysis ready for the missed prestige victory. “One thing is for sure: I think we’re missing a nine,” said Hoeneß BR at the talk “Sunday regulars’ table”.

“It was of course an important, difficult decision to give up Robert with the risk of not scoring certain goals, namely one like Modeste yesterday. In front of the goal there is usually a center forward or a clipper. Unfortunately we don’t have that at the moment “Hoeneß continued.

That’s why FC Bayern didn’t get a Lewandowski replacement

In the end, the draw after a 2-0 lead “wasn’t Bayer-like”. Hoeneß also explained why they didn’t react to the departure of the Pole with a Lewandowski replacement in the summer: “Yes, because there was no longer any money for it. It wasn’t enough for that anymore, you have to say that. If you If we had gotten a top center forward today, then we should have done it properly. They were convinced that we could compensate for that.”

In a few games, the team has already proven that it is possible without a classic centre-forward. The overall goal tally also speaks for it. However, in addition to some shooting festivals, there were also games in which the FCB offensive showed a lack of effectiveness and where a classic nine in the penalty area would certainly have helped the team.

Hoeneß: center forward “medium-term” an issue – backing for Nagelsmann

That’s why Hoeneß thinks “that you have to deal with the topic at least in the medium term”. There are already a few candidates in the search for the coming summer. First and foremost Harry Kane.

However, Hoeneß does not believe in criticism of coach Julian Nagelsmann. And expressed it in the classic Mia-san-Mia feeling: “There’s no reason for that. First, we started the Champions League with three wins and second, we’re still within reach of the top in the table. I’m convinced that we’ll soon be top of the table again.”
