“A zero across the line” and a mole in the dressing room: it’s bumblebee at Bayern Munich | Bundesliga

“Except for the last ten minutes, we were the worst team on the field. We lacked conviction and power. We deserved to lose.” Bayen coach Julian Nagelsmann was remarkably hard on his players last weekend after the 2-1 defeat against Leverkusen.

“The last few weeks it was a bit better, but now we were just lazy again. Some players scored a clean sheet all the way, both offensively and defensively. The way we approached the match was downright weak,” Nagelmann continued.

Director and former player Hassan Salihamidzic was also sharp. “This is not what Bayern stands for. We fell short in all areas and then against a team that had played European two days before. Bayer was better in every way.”

“I have rarely seen so little drive, so little mentality, so little duel power and so little assertiveness. Our team is as good as it takes control of a game 100 percent from the start and as bad when it doesn’t.”

To top it all off, Bayern’s tactical plans leaked out in ‘Bild’ last week. According to Nagelsmann, there is a mole in the locker room. “It keeps me very busy. The person who passes everything to the media harms all players.”

“I also wonder what the mole’s intention is. I don’t see what could be behind it, other than making the opposition wiser. Can I identify him? They are an endangered species. If you drive in the countryside, you will see 80,000 molehills. It’s hard to pick just one,” said Nagelsmann.
