Leroy Sané (24) and Bayern – it doesn’t really fit so far.
But on the contrary: In the 2: 1 in the top game in Leverkusen, the national player has to accept a bitter blow.
Sané is substituted on in the 32nd minute for Coman, who is injured on his left rear thigh (diagnosis is pending) – and has to leave the field after only 36 minutes without any indication of an injury!
It is the maximum penalty for Sané! And the temporary low point of his time in Bavaria.
The national player came in the summer as the great hope of German football for 49 million euros from Manchester City. But so far, Sané has only really impressed in one game.
In the 8-0 win against Schalke on the first day of the match, he shone with one goal and two assists – but after that, apart from a few successful joker bets, hardly anything came up.
Another reason: After his cruciate ligament rupture, Sané still needs time to regain his old shape. Bayern coach Hansi Flick (55) recently called for patience with the Sané: “You need trust in your body. And anyone who has ever had an injury knows that you have to check again on the pitch to see what your body can withstand. Only then will you regain trust. “
But the fact that Flick does not seem to be 100 percent satisfied with his newcomer shows that Sané always has to go to the bank. So far he has only made five league games from the start. In the Champion s League game against Lok Moscow, the coach even had to warn him several times to do better pressing.
The 36-minute short appearance marks the provisional Sané low point in Bavaria. He doesn’t shoot on goal, wins only 33 percent of his tackles. But the rest of the team is not covered in fame either!
Inexplicable: After six 0: 1 deficits in a row, Flick had urgently discussed the issue of weak start with his team. And yet it happens again!
14. Minute: Leverkusen briefly takes a corner from the right. Amiri crosses wide to the completely free Schick, who shoots the ball into the net with a wonderful volleyball from 14 meters. 1: 0 Leverkusen!
The Werkself’s new standard strength is evident again. After the last season, coach Peter Bosz (57) identified the behavior with stationary balls as a disadvantage and brought in standard specialist Rob Maas (51) as assistant coach. It works with the Dutchman!
Episode: Also in the seventh league game in a row, Bayern are 1-0 down. This has never happened in the glorious history of the record champions!
But as with the six games (3 wins, 3 draws), Munich have an answer this time too – and Leverkusen also helps.
43. Minute: Bayer fails several times to clear the ball, and Müller finally crosses from the right. In the middle, Hradecky and Tah go to the ball at the same time, rattle together – but nobody gets it! Robert Lewandowski (32) says thank you and heads into the empty goal. 1: 1!
It is Lewandowski’s first goal as a world footballer! The Pole beat Cristiano Ronaldo (35) and Lionel Messi (33) on Thursday. He’s already scoring against the team against which he has the worst odds!
And he even makes victory and the Christmas championship clear (90 + 3.).
But the biggest stir in the second round was the Sané maximum penalty …
