No chance for the youth: After the championship was decided last week after the 3-1 win against Dortmund, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann announced that he would see the remaining games as “an opportunity for our young players who haven’t gotten many minutes this season”. The 34-year-old just didn’t follow his words with action.
Choopo-Moting und Sabitzer: In Bayern’s starting XI in the game at Mainz 05, there was little to be seen of fresh blood. Jamal Musiala, Tangyu Nianzou, Gabriel Vidovic or Paul Wanner? None of the youngsters was on the field from the start. Instead, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (33) and the previously disappointing Marcel Sabitzer (28) played. The master’s fans vented on social media.
fans angry: Representing the many disappointed, “Jessy” wrote on Twitter: “We simply give Choupo-Moting more playing time than Musiala, Roca, Nianzou, Stanisic, Richards or Vidovic. I can’t put into words how angry that makes me.” “Red Beast” put his finger in the wound: “No wonder Bayern finds it so difficult to sign young players with potential.”
