When he was the coach of Hoffenheim, Julian Nagelsmann didn’t really have a lot of pressure. When he switched over to RB Leipzig, the pressure was there already, but it was only about the Champions League spot. Keep the club within the first four places and everything will be cool or you will be sacked (like Jesse Marsch and Domenico Tedesco), and Nagelsmann nailed it. When he got the offer from his boyhood club, he didn’t blinked twice and accepted the role. Everything was fine until Bayern got eliminated from Villarreal in the quarter final of the Champions League last season. From there on, the pressure can be felt for the young coach.Nagelsmann on Mané: “I speak to all players individually. In the end, it’s the player’s job to implement what the coach tells him to do. Then he will quickly find his way back to top form, I’m confident that he will” pic.twitter.com/1NuJI2OU93— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) September 29, 2022 A first defeat of the season and the worst start in Bundesliga for more than 20 years (four games without a win) is like an earthquake in Munich, who is used to grind their opponents and have a point difference already. So, after Augsburg loss, sporting director and CEO held talks with Nagelsmann while the press done their work: reports about dissatisfaction from executives and players were headline for days.Brazzo promises a different Nagelsmann and Bayern after the international breakAnd Bayern’s coach had a lot of time, due to international break to reflect on things, look at the last few games again and try to find a solution, as the Bayer Leverkusen game is a must win.“I definitely was not in a good mood after Augsburg. I reflect on the things that I can do better and try to do better the next day. I’m well aware that everyone here has to feel this personal responsibility. I also feel that for the situation in which we are. In the last two weeks my name has been mentioned quite often and few other names. That leaves me a bit cold because I know that I have a lot to offer. I’m definitely not responsible for the national team not winning against Hungary” said Nagelsmann.Crisis at Bayern: Players demand formation change, Nagelsmann calls them a bunch of chickensBayern coach also said that he didn’t think of resigning, but again pointed finger at his players (indirectly) ahead of the Bayer match. The players have just got back from international duty, so there were no time for a proper preparation, but they have enough quality to surpass that.”I gave the boys four messages. What I want and what I want to see. Where there are no excuses. I invest in the job and I also know that I always give the players clear procedures. I would say that I’m a very decent person and that I deal with them properly. So I’m aware that I’m not responsible for everything I’m responsible. But I don’t shirk responsibility either” said Nagelsmann.They win titles but their football academy is a complete flopLuckily for the Bavarians, Bayer are in worse shape than tonight’s hosts. Leverkusen had high hopes before the start, they have a strong squad, but so far have only one win in Bundesliga with four defeats already, which is stunning, considering the amount of quality forward players, just like Bayern. The guests failed to keep a clean sheet against Bavarians in their last 10 meetings and also played only one game this season without conceding: a 2-0 over Atletico Madrid.BUNDESLIGA – ROUND 8Friday21:30: (1.40) Bayern (5.60) Leverkusen (8.50)Saturday16:30: (1.33) RB Leipzig (6.25) Bochum (10.0)16:30: (2.45) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.35) Union Berlin (3.20)16:30: (3.50) Koln (3.60) Dortmund (2.15)16:30: (2.24) Freiburg (3.40) Mainz (3.60)16:30: (2.45) Wolfsburg (3.35) Stuttgart (3.10)19:30: (2.75) Werder (3.50) M’ gladbach (2.65)Sunday16:30: (2.95) Hertha (3.50) Hoffenheim (2.55)18:30: (2.10) Schalke (3.50) Augsburg (3.80)***odds are subject to change***
