Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has become fundamental after his team’s 1: 3 at 1. FSV Mainz 05 on the 32nd matchday in the Bundesliga. “Is at a time when we need to change something.”
Nagelsmann criticized the lack of “basic passion” among his players in the clear and well-deserved defeat in Mainz. “It’s a little human when you become champions. But we still have the logo on our chest. We can not get nine hundred percent chances against us from the first minute. It just does not work”; said Nagelsmann, who was the only one from Munich to enter the Mewa Arena mixed zone after the match.
It’s “a little human” that after the tenth title in a row you do not go to the extreme in every situation. But if it seems that we have to do something and it is not really passionate anymore, then there is a point where we need to change something. That’s where we are right now. “
Nagelsmann stressed that his warning was not only directed at the team. “It’s also about general things. If a company has been very successful for decades, at some point it’s always time to change something a little bit. It’s perfectly normal and not bad at all,” he said, drawing the parallel to FC Bayern: “If you win seven or eight titles and become champion ten times in a row, there is a ‘break even point’ (sic!) Where we have to say ‘now we have to do something different’.”
In economics, “break-even point” is used primarily to describe the break-even point, ie the point at which a company makes a profit, but what Nagelsmann meant became clear from the next few sentences: “It can not always be done. same All DAX companies that want to be one of the most successful know this phenomenon, “Nagelsmann said, adding:” You can not miss this point. That’s what it’s about. “
Nagelsmann: “Shit, now we’ve missed the moment”
Nagelsmann was not so worried about the defeat in Mainz. “One can lose such a match today, I do not necessarily care about the way, even if we do not have it so often. It’s about the big picture. I’m not a reminder either. I just want us to continue the path successfully and not at some point say, ‘Shit, now we’ve missed the moment’. “
Felix Magath, ex-Bayern coach and current coach of the still unsaved Hertha BSC, had previously sensed distortion of competition in the relegation battle. Bayern Munich will play on the 33rd day of the Bundesliga against relegation candidates VfB Stuttgart. “You do not know what to say about it. Bayern are champions, I do not know if they have stopped playing.”
And further: “I only saw the result. I do not know how it came about, but it’s not nice.”
Nagelsmann replied: “It’s very smart of him. He probably does not do it completely selflessly. He should watch the match and then he can call me. I’m not talking about Hertha’s performance now either.”
