Oh, the Oktoberfest! In the 7-0 win against VfL Bochum, FC Bayern appeared more insatiable than ever under Thomas Tuchel. A surprising line-up idea from the coach is worth it after just four minutes.
Blonde hair bobbed out from under the roof of the reserve bench, and on the sidelines coach Thomas Tuchel prepared the final “nothing like that can happen to us today” gesture. At the side of the tall Tuchel, the smaller Frans Krätzig looked as if he had jumped straight out of the Theo Lingen classic “The Louts from the First Bench”. The 20-year-old, so far only known to the Munich professional audience and the residents of Singapore because he scored a dream goal in a preparatory game against Liverpool FC a few weeks ago, like the one for the year in review, was about to make his debut in the Bundesliga. Kraszig laughed. Tuchel also laughed. Even Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting laughed despite being substituted in that 65th minute. But whatever! He once again played from the start and scored his first goal since March.
