With the defeat to Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the week, the Bavarian team was overtaken by Borussia Dortmundand his technician and the director did not like the acting.
“Except for the last ten minutes, we were the worst team. There was little strength on the field, we didn’t play well. So we deserved to lose. We had it again and again. It had gotten better in the last few weeks, that combination of emotion and quality. Today we were lazy. Defensively and offensively, some players had a zero percent rate. We were too weak in our own performance“, stated Julian Nagelsmann.
In addition to the coach, the club’s sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic also made his comment regarding the posture of the Bayern players during the match. According to him, few times would he have seen a performance with so little motivation in a club game, despite having praised the quality of the players when they are focused.
“That’s not what Bayern Munich means. We lost everything. We let a team that played on Thursday overtake, Bayern were better in every aspect. Rarely have I experienced so little motivation, so little mindset, so little fight, so little assertiveness. This team is so good when they have a mindset from the start and go 100%, but so bad when they don’t do that and think they can do everything for quality“, commented.
