Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann expressed his frustration and disappointment at his team’s performance following their 1-2 defeat in Leverkusen. Nagelsmann criticized his team’s lack of power on the field and overall poor playing. He also stated that Bayern Munich deserved to lose as they were the worse team throughout the match.
The coach went on to explain that this type of performance was not uncommon, but it had been improving over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, they were lazy in this game, which contributed to their defeat. Nagelsmann called out players who had a 0% rate in both defense and offense, labeling their play as sluggish.
Bayern Munich’s sports director, Hasan Salihamidzic, was also visibly disappointed, stating that the team had missed everything. He felt that they had been overrun by a team that had played on Thursday and that Leverkusen was better in all respects. Salihamidzic was particularly upset when he noted the team lacked drive, mentality, duel, and assertiveness.
Amidst the frustration and disappointment, Bayern Munich bosses Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic were photographed in deep discussion. The team will now have to regroup ahead of their top game on April 1 against Borussia Dortmund. With few players available due to the international break, the team will have to train hard and prepare quickly to meet their next challenge.
