Berlin (dpa) – FC Bayern has dealt with frustration after the historic cup disgrace and remains the league leader in the Bundesliga.
But things are still close at the top because Borussia Dortmund are now also winning bad games and SC Freiburg continues to cause a sensation. Florian Kohfeldt can also laugh as he collects three points in the first game as Wolfsburg coach.
Making amends: The second five-pack tasted much better for FC Bayern within a few days. After the 0: 5 shame in Gladbach – the highest cup bankruptcy in the club’s history – there was a 5: 2 at Union Berlin. Everything is all right again? Not quite, as Thomas Müller notes: “We won here and played convincingly. We are out of the cup anyway. We have to deal with that further. ” After all, FC Bayern remains the front runner and has also set a goal record. There has never been 38 goals in the Bundesliga after ten match days.
Efficiency: 7:19 shots on goal, but in the end there was a 2-0 victory for BVB. Marco Rose trims the black and yellow for success, at the same time he was the first BVB coach to win the first six home games. Not even Jürgen Klopp managed that. And that under difficult conditions: Nine regular players, including striker Erling Haaland, were eliminated against Cologne. This gives other players opportunities, such as Steffen Tigges, who scored his first Bundesliga goal. “I’ll laugh a little more for the next day or two,” said Tigges with a big grin.
Trauma situation: 167 days after his release in Bremen, Florian Kohfeldt stepped back onto the Bundesliga stage as coach of VfL Wolfsburg – and was able to cheer right away. With the 2-0 win in Leverkusen, Lower Saxony managed to end their series of eight games without a win. The coach reflected on his work in Bremen self-critically: “It was about allowing a little more sovereignty for myself. I don’t want to say emotions. I defend myself against it. To keep a little more distance, to stay more rational. In the end I was trapped in Bremen. ”
Bavaria hunter: The mission is clear. “Take Bayern’s lederhosen off!”, It echoed in the Freiburg stadium after the 3-1 win against the bottom SpVgg Greuther Fürth with a view to the guest appearance in Munich next week. The sports club is only three points behind the series champions and is the only Bundesliga club to be unbeaten this season. “After a victory like that, you are of course totally euphoric,” said Freiburg’s goal scorer Nicolas Höfler. “But we know where we’re going.”
Headwind: Last season, Frank Kramer had Arminia Bielefeld still relegated to relegation, meanwhile his credit with the fans has been used up. After the 1: 2 against Mainz and the tenth league game without a win, the appendix is already calling for the coach to be replaced. “Nobody likes to hear something like that about themselves, but you have to show your attitude,” said Kramer.
trouble: Regardless of whether against Bruges, Paris, Freiburg or now Frankfurt – RB Leipzig always gives away a guided tour. “We have everything under control and should have scored the second goal,” said coach Jesse Marsch after the 1-1 draw at the last minute in Frankfurt. «We make too many mistakes and are not consistent enough. I said it weeks ago. It’s not just this game. We have to work on that. ”
Bayern conqueror successful again ?: After the historic 5: 0 in the DFB Cup against FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Mönchengladbach now wants to improve against VfL Bochum (Sunday, 5.30 p.m.) in the league. And that is necessary: Because eleven points from nine games is not enough so far. But VfL Bochum also gained confidence in the cup by beating FC Augsburg. Most recently, both teams played against each other in relegation a good ten years ago. Before that, VfL had often been able to annoy the Gladbachers.
Sunday part II: After leaving the DFB Cup, both FC Augsburg and VfB Stuttgart (3:30 p.m.) want to get back on the road to success. Above all, the hosts are under pressure: The FCA must finally stop its crash after only one point from four games. On the other hand, VfB without a win away from home has not been defeated for four games. Weinzierl can win the 50th Bundesliga victory as Augsburg coach against his former club. After a 6-0 draw against FCA, he had to leave VfB on April 20, 2019. On May 7, 2021 he made his comeback at FCA – with a 1: 2 against VfB.
