This case gives that FC Bayern riddle open!
On Tuesday morning, BILD caught Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (34) on the day off from training on Säbener Straße. The striker was once again treated in the record champions’ academy.
On Sunday he finally had one again with the 2-0 win over Hertha Bundesliga game missed because of his knee problems – for the fourth time in a row!
The five goals in these 360 minutes, which are measly by Munich standards, and the renewed offensive weakness against the Berliners show how hard the failure of the Cameroon clipper hit Thomas Tuchel’s (49) team.
Bitter: A quick recovery is not guaranteed!
Coach Tuchel admitted on Sunday: “I can’t make any prognosis at all. The knee always reacts a bit, he’s not completely pain free.”
And further: “It’s basically painful because there was a vacancy on the bench and competition is elementary, especially in this crucial phase of the season.”
Choupo hasn’t been able to heat it up for a long time – and that’s why the record champions are puzzled!
Including the Hertha game, Bayern’s number 13 was missing in seven of the last ten games – first the back problems, now the permanent pain in the knee. Since his contract was extended until 2024 in March, thanks to which he is said to collect up to 10 million euros a year including bonuses, Choupo has not been able to get back on his feet.
Will he even play again this season? Questionable! With his importance as the only real goalscorer in the squad (17 goals) a big problem.
Storm talent Mathys Tel (18) first has to work his way into the starting eleven at Tuchel, Sadio Mané (31/scored at 1: 3 in Mainz) did not get out of shape when he had his next starting eleven chance against Hertha. Only Serge Gnabry (27), who was also extremely weak recently, showed his skills again with a goal against the bottom of the table.
“It hasn’t been resolved yet” Who came up with the idea of Tuchel & Nagelsmann?
Little storm power for the championship final sprint against BVB! However, Tuchel does not want to take any risks with Riddle-Choupo. Injecting the World Cup driver fit for a short time was not a good idea, even with his back problems. Choupo suffered relapses again and again, which is why he did not deliver his usual performance in the games.
Tuchel is therefore not putting any pressure on his goalscorer, saying: “We don’t want to run into an on-off situation where he comes and goes again.” Instead, this time Choupo should be built up carefully and completely.
Even if that jeopardizes his commitment in the final games of the season…
