First, the air must be purified.
Then there will be a party.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann, 35, called a crisis meeting before Bayern Munich made their traditional visit to the Oktoberfest.
It’s a festive atmosphere in Munich. Oktoberfest is back after a two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus.
But the mood is different at the city’s biggest football club, Bayern. Yesterday’s loss to Augsburg means the team now has four consecutive Bundesliga matches without a win. Bild writes that this is the club’s worst form in 20 years.
Despite finishing fourth in the league, it can be considered a poor start to the season for Bayern Munich. Both Bild and Sport1 reported that coach Julian Nagelsmann called a meeting before the players left for various meetings with the national team.
According to Sport1, Nagelsmann sees players as responsible for the performance of the last few weeks in the league. While players are supposed to be frustrated by the coach’s lack of self-criticism.
Want to meet before the party
Nagelsmann wants to clear the air with the players already on Sunday, ahead of the club’s annual visit to Oktoberfest, Bild State and Sport 1.
For the coach, it will be his first visit to the Oktoberfest with Bayern Munich. But he’s not too keen on going there.
– If the team is going there, I have to come with me. But I really have no desire, says Nagelsmann, according to WAZ.
– Of course we’ll go there, says the attacker Thomas Muller to BR24.
In the Champions League group stage, things went even better for Bayern Munich. Here they are in full swing after winning both Barcelona and Inter.
