“Too stupid to become champions” FC Bayern no longer number 1 in the Bundesliga

Bayern Munich slipped to 2nd place behind Dortmund in the Bundesliga after the 3 : 1 in Mainz. Disappointed FCBayern fans are looking for those responsible for the defeats and the crisis.

This Saturday, FC Bayern Munich lost to Mainz 05, the number 6 team in the Bundesliga. Sadio Mané scored the opening goal in the 29th minute in Mainz, but the second half belonged to the home team. The goals for Mainz were scored by Ludovic Ajorque (in the 65th minute), Leandro Barreiro (in the 73rd) and Aarón Martín ( in the 79th). The Spaniard Martín celebrates his 26th birthday on this 22 April. Bayern had nothing to celebrate.

As Borussia Dortmund won 4 : 0 against Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern lost the top position in the Bundesliga after their elimination from the Champions League. BVB is one point ahead.

Kahn: “Who was the team that wanted to become German champion?”
Admittedly, many Bayern fans see the club’s management as to blame.

But board chairman Oliver Kahn, who is watching the tragedy in Mainz, is practising irony. According to BILD-Zeitung, Kahn asks ironically: “Who was the team that wanted to become German champions?” And immediately gives himself the answer: “It certainly wasn’t ours.”

But Bayern fan Benji shares a photo of Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic with the comment: “Are your bags already packed or should I go to Säbener Straße and do it myself? For weeks, I’ve been seeing humiliation from my club every week, it’s almost no fun for me to look at this team any more – what have you done to us? “

Journalist Markus Feldenkirchen notes on Twitter: “By the way, before his managerial role at FC Bayern, Oliver Kahn was a goalkeeper trainer for Saudi Arabia. A comparatively successful episode after his active time.”

CEO Oliver Kahn comes to the defence of new coach Thomas Tuchel, who has won only three of seven games. But broadcaster SkySport is letting fans vote on the latest coaching change.

“Thomas Tuchel is the last person we need to discuss,” Kahn said. “He does everything with his coaching team, tactically and psychologically, to make the boys understand that it’s worth it to win this German championship title. “

“Too stupid to become champions “

The SPIEGEL writes of the “implosion of FC Bayern” that continues. The FAZ says: “The golden era of FC Bayern is over”. “Kimmich has panic in his eyes” observes the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

And several Twitter users make fun of Bavaria’s Minister-President, who remarked in an interview that Dortmund were “too stupid to become champions”.
