“Zero on the board” and a mole in the dressing room: a bumblebee at Bayern Munich | Bundesliga

“Except for the last 10 minutes, we were the worst team on the field. We lacked conviction and strength. We deserved to lose.” Bain coach Julian Nagelsmann was notably harsh on his players last weekend after a 2-1 defeat by Leverkusen.

“The last few weeks were a little bit better, but now we’re lazy again. Some guys have scored clean sheets along the way, both offensively and defensively. The way we approached the game was very poor,” Nagelmann continued.

Director and former player Hasan Salihamidzic was also sharp. “This is not what Bayern Munich stands for. We failed in all areas then against a European team two days ago. Bayer was better in every way.”

“I have rarely seen so little motivation, so little mentality, so little swordsmanship and so little determination. Our team is as good as controlling the game 100 per cent from the start and bad when they don’t.”

To top it all off, Bayern Munich’s tactical plans were leaked to 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 hurts all the players.”

“I also wonder what the mole’s intention is. I don’t see what could be behind it, other than to make the opponent wiser. Can I identify it? They are an endangered species. If you drive in the countryside, you’ll see 80,000 dirt mounds. Nagelsmann says: “It’s hard to pick just one.”
