FC Bayern are in a frenzy with their 5-0 away win at Bremen’s Weserstadion. After the 6-1 win at Holstein Kiel, coach Vincent Kompany’s team tore Dinamo Zagreb to pieces in the Champions League. Now Wer Bremen had to believe in them. Bayern are back in goal-scoring form and are sending a signal to their rivals from Leverkusen.
FC Bayern punishes Weiser’s announcement
The Munich team lost a lot of standing last season. “If the nine shoot, we’ll shoot ten,” said former Munich player Mitchell Weiser before the game, and he was sure that he would not get “run over” in any case. But he probably quickly regretted this statement.
Michael Olise (23rd and 60th), Jamal Musiala (32nd), Harry Kane (57th) and Serge Gnabry (65th) swept past the Hanseatic League and ensured a victory that was absolutely deserved. After the game, the wise man’s statement had to be: “If the five shoot, we’ll score zero.”
Olise conjures up a record
New signing Michael Olise in particular worked magic on the Bremen pitch. With two goals and two assists, he also set a new record, which admittedly sounds a bit awkward. The Frenchman is now the first foreigner in the Bundesliga to have been involved in so many goals in his first four games. “He has a very special talent,” praised coach Kompany after the final whistle. “He couldn’t have started much better at FC Bayern.” His second goal was particularly impressive, as he caressed the ball into the top left corner of the Bremen goal with great feeling. “He enjoys football and today was a good game.”
20 goals in one week
This statement can of course easily be applied to the entire team, which celebrated a landslide victory for the third time in eight days. In total, FC Bayern scored twenty goals this week – an outstanding rate and an impressive record. The 38-year-old was asked in an interview with Sportschau whether this was already the “Kompany Bayern”. “I don’t want a Kompany Bayern. I want Bayern Bayern.” Bayern are well on the way to finding their old strength again – and ready for the big task on Saturday: “Now comes a really big game against the German champions. We want to win that,” said Kompany.
In top form at the right time: Bayern are back on the pitch
After a hard day’s work, coach Kompany and his team can’t forget to have fun. On Sunday, FC Bayern visited the Oktoberfest. Kompany had already said beforehand that his players were allowed to have a beer.
If his pros hadn’t overdone it there and then forgotten everything they had learned in the past few weeks, the Munich team would be the favorites in the duel with champions Leverkusen next Saturday evening. It’s just the right time, because the record champions still have a score to settle with the Werkself. In the 0:3 defeat last season, the Munich team had almost no chance. “They gamble and we don’t,” complained Thomas Müller at the time.
Currently, Bayern are gambling again – like in the old days.
