Bayern’s biggest problem in the second part of the season, along with hiccups in the Bundesliga, is the very poor form of a large number of players. Joshua Kimich has been far from his usual level for months, Leon Goretzka is unlikely to return after an inconvenient injury, Jamal Musiala has weakened compared to the period before the World Cup in Qatar… But the problem above all is the situation surrounding two stars for whom the coach Julian Nagelsmann and people from the sports sector are slowly losing patience: Leroy Sane (27) and Serge Gnabry (27).For both, minutes on the pitch have been significantly reduced. The performances they provide, that is, the behavior in training and off the field seriously irritates the head of the coaching staff, so the German media state that Bayern will use the period until the end of the season to make a final decision on their future at Allianz Arena. Apparently, their sale is not excluded in case of good offers.Support comes from the top of the club, president Herbert Heiner said in a conciliatory tone that ‘both are very important screws in Bayern’s system and are needed in the realization of the highest goals’, however, the concern is, in fact, getting bigger and bigger.The hottest transfer in Europe is on ‘standby’Serge Gnabry recently angered bosses when it emerged that he had used the short period between two games – normally scheduled for mandatory rest – to fly to Paris and be a guest at fashion week. On the other hand, Leroy Sane was late for the club bus’s departure to Monchengladbach, which is why he had to drive his own car to the game. Unplanned, because of this, Nagelsmann gave Gnabry a chance from the first minute, but he was so bad that the young expert decided to substitute him with penalized Sane at halftime?!The epilogue is well known…By the way, both of them have had a problem with motivation in training for some time. And while we are used to Leroy Sane’s problematic body language in more games, Gnabry did not show such a defect. At least not until soon. And then suddenly it was as if Sane’s (to put it mildly) despondency also took over him.As a result of the above, there was a significant drop in productivity for both.Gnabry, until the World Cup: 10 goals and assists each; after the World Cup: only a goal and an assist. But – five hairstyles have already been changed in that period, says Bild.Sane, until the World Cup: 11 goals and six assists; after the World Cup: one single goal?! And far more eye rolls directed at teammates than sprints.”Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry could be the most popular and the best German footballers. Turbo fast, goals loading, cunning, rarely talented. In short – cool guys. Perfect idols for kids. Unfortunately, as of today, it must be stated: they have superstar salaries with performances almost non-existent. One flies to Paris between two games, the other is late for the team bus. How to justify that? Sane and Gnabry should be ashamed that 19-year-old Musiala is taking their place in the team. When will those boys realize that world class doesn’t it come by itself and requires serious work?”, says the very critical text of Bild.”Who should be a role model for Gnabry and Sane? They have one in their sights – Hasan Salihamidzic! He reached the trophy in the Champions League and the status of champion in the club above all through diligence and ambition. You can imagine how desperate the sports director is when he sees how both of them are wasting their talent”…Brazzo criticizes Gnabry for attending the Paris Fashion WeekIf and when Bayern will lose patience for Sane and Gnabry, German journalists ask further and underline that their ‘contract extention interview’ for staying in Munich start from the first next game – on Saturday against Stuttgart.Although, according to the local media announcements, the return to the starting eleven will not be so easy. Especially since Kingsley Coman is in great shape, and Musiala is also slowly coming back.One thing is certain – Bayern will not tolerate Sane and Gnabry like this for much longer. Especially since they are players belonging to the group with elite incomes. Sane is at around 20,000,000 euros (gross), and Gnabry with the latest increase is close to 19,000,000.Both are estimated at around 70,000,000 euros.Is it finally time to dethrone the Bavarians?BUNSDESLIGARound 23Friday22:30: (2.30) Dortmund (3.60) RB Leipzig (3.20)Saturday17:30: (2.35) Augsburg (3.45) Werder (3.20)17:30: (2.50) M’ gladbach (3.45) Freiburg (2.95)17:30: (2.50) Bochum (3.40) Schalke (3.00)17:30: (1.95) Mainz (3.70) Hoffenheim (4.10)17:30: (2.00) Union Berlin (3.45) Koln (4.20)20:30: (7.75) Stuttgart (4.80) Bayern (1.45)Sunday17:30: (1.60) Leverkusen (4.10) Hertha (6.25)19:30: (2.55) Wolfsburg (3.40) Eintr.Frankfurt (2.95)***odds are subject to change***
