The frustration runs deep after FC Bayern’s defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller deliver an all-round strike.
Munich – 13 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, an uninspiring performance in the 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund and frustration as far as the eye can see – at FC Bayern the house blessing is hanging awry.
FC Bayern: Thomas Müller is frustrated after BVB’s bankruptcy
Almost the entire FCB team showed a disastrous performance against BVB, who by no means played the home team against the wall on Saturday evening (March 30th). Reason enough for the Bayern stars around Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich to give verbal slaps after the encounter.
“We are very disappointed with our own performance. The international break didn’t seem to be good for us, with the side note that we noticed that Leverkusen scored the last minute goal again. You think they’re finally leaving something behind. “That was a small setback,” said Müller at Sky.
Bayern star Müller makes it clear: “That’s disappointing”
However, the German international didn’t want to accept the “Werkself’s” previous win or the two weeks without a Bundesliga game as an excuse: “Dortmund played well, but not the stars from heaven either, but deserved to win. This is disappointing. That wasn’t what we were building up to before the international break.”
In addition to a contrite Thomas Tuchel, who was subsequently upset by a rescue operation by Mats Hummels including a handball, Kimmich also became more than clear. The FCB star, who was once again called up as a right-back, didn’t mince his words when he was asked about the lack of bite.
Joshua Kimmich criticizes a lack of attitude: “I had the feeling it was a friendly game”
“That is the crucial question. I also ask myself how we can have such an attitude. This is inexplicable and frustrating. You had the feeling that it was about nothing, it was a friendly game. “That should never happen to us in a home game and against Dortmund,” complained the 29-year-old and added: “We shouldn’t be interested in the Leverkusen results. We have to do our own homework. We have to win our games, we have to concentrate on that.”
“Everyone should really use the two days off to question themselves.” With seven games still remaining and 13 points behind, defending the title is now a long way off; Tuchel even congratulated his rivals on their championship. Müller also expressed little hope.
FC Bayern is writing off the championship – Heidenheim and Arsenal are in their sights
“I am not a mathematics professor. I know it’s still possible. But if you’re honest, that’s not realistic. We have to deliver our performance,” explained the 34-year-old.
This now needs to be improved as quickly as possible. Next weekend there will be a difficult guest appearance in Heidenheim, before the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League at Arsenal FC. (masc)
