FC Bayern: after Flick announcement: the child prodigy is back – due to coach criticism?

Update from October 31, 8:30 pm: Most recently, the Bayern manager judged * Hansi Flick Clear words to his stormy talent Joshua Zirkzee at the press conference * before the away match in Cologne. The 19-year-old has “the qualities to play the Bundesliga”, according to the coach, but for him it is “also a bit of mentality, attitude and unconditional willingness to show what you can do”. Zirkzee has probably left this on the loose for the past few weeks.

FC Bayern: Zirkzee four weeks without a minute as a professional – can he return to the bench in Salzburg?

From his short seven-minute spell in the Super Cup win against BVB end of September Zirkzee only had one chance with amaturen in the third division – until the Bundesliga * on Saturday, the last day of October! In Cologne, Robert Lewandowski was spared by Hansi Flick, Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting was allowed to play from the start. But the Cameroonian international was unlucky and was qualified after an hour Zirkzee replaced.

In Bayern’s rather lackluster overall appearance, the Dutch National U21 doesn’t really stand out, but he invented one half an hour of play with professionals. His coach’s announcement apparently came to the young professional.

“Who says I do no minutes of play will get? It is up to me to measure myself, ”Zirkzee confidently announced in early October after his loan exchange failed. Apparently the good offensive coach has now found the connection with the professional team. Best striker Robert Lewandowski will be seeded in the Champions League match * at Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday, which is why Zirkzee may not be among the record champions *.

FC Bayern: Hansi Flick sounds the alarm – Bayern prodigy suddenly on the wrong track?

First report from 30 October:
Munich – It has become quiet around Joshua Zirkzee. The talent of the storm FC Bayern *, that last season every now and then a few minutes from the coach Hansi Flick caught and rewarded with four goals in the upper house, he was not allowed to play a single game with the pros for more than a month. The Dutchman arrived three times for this in the third division Amateurs to train, but the 19-year-old is still waiting for his first goal of the season with U23. At the press round before his team’s match in Cologne on Saturday, Flick revealed the reason for this – and it’s likely it contributed to Zirkzee’s inner peace only to a limited extent.

It’s about the mindset, the attitude, and the absolute willingness to show what you can do

“He had ankle problems during the holidays and was unable to train that much. I have been accordingly not entirely satisfied with his physical condition “, said Flick, who however also stressed the apparently not entirely smooth character of his jewel:” We know he is a great talent, but Only talent It’s not always enough. “And again:” He has the qualities to play in the Bundesliga, we are all convinced of that. But it is also about mentality, attitude and absolute willingness to show what you can do ”. Words that, from Zirkzee’s point of view, should not be misunderstood. Especially since Flick in Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting now has another striker he can appeal to in case of doubt.

FC Bayern Munich: Sané back in Cologne from the start?

In Colony, the second of four consecutive away games, should once again Robert Lewandowski go hunting for targets. Also Leroy Sané is “now so far away that he can play from the start”, assured Flick, Serge Gnabry after (not necessary) mandatory crown break anyway. Otherwise, all players, including those abused Leon Goretzka is Thomas Müller – until Tanguy Nianzou is Alphonso Davies fit, Flick explained.

In view of the three remaining matches within a week before the next international break, he should also use leverage again. But there is one thing Flick wanted to mention given the tension: “We have won seven games in a row. You forget it right away when there’s a match every three days. “Victory number eight is expected in Cologne. * tz.de is part of the national Ippen digital publishing network.
