“The bottom line is that we must and can be satisfied with the point,” said Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick (55). After a home game against Arminia Bielefeld, mind you. Before which for many fans it was certainly only about the height of the Munich victory. But after the 3: 3 (0: 2) on Monday evening, the heavily favored Bavarians were happy to have got away with a black eye.
Flick had even more praise for the Armines. “Bielefeld has shown that they can play football. I liked that, ”said the coach of the club world champion. It probably went down like oil with his counterpart Uwe Neuhaus, even if the DSC trainer would probably not say that in public. The 61-year-old was “naturally happy with the point”. But you could tell that maybe a tiny bit of disappointment could flow into the analysis, that it wasn’t enough for a really big hit.
Arminia had led 2-0 and 3-1 in Munich. History was within reach, because Bielefeld had only won at FC Bayern once in 18 attempts before. That was on March 10, 1979, when it was even 4-0 for the DSC. He was still relegated at the end of the season. The Arminen can ensure that this does not have to happen in the current season. If they appear in the remaining 14 games as well as in Munich.
Goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno always dared to open the game with a flat pass, even against the league leaders. A sign of the belief in your own strength, fired by stable defensive work and skillful play in the top. At least until the 60th minute. From then on, the pressure from Bayern became greater and greater, and the compensation almost inevitably fell. “Bayern then showed why they are Bayern Munich,” said Arminia’s central defender Amos Pieper, who hit with his head in the 37th minute. It was the first Bundesliga ever for the 23-year-old. “The fact that I score the goal – my first for Arminia – is unbelievable, an indescribable feeling,” said Pieper, extremely happy.
Vlap and Voglsammer provide a lot of fresh wind in the storm
Michel Vlap and Christian Gebauer also scored their first first division goals in Munich, of all places. Vlap, only loaned from RSC Anderlecht on February 1st, described his goal (9th minute) as follows: “When I got the ball from Manuel Prietl, I knew: the goal is right behind me. So I just turned around and pulled away. ”The 23-year-old Dutchman also prepared Pieper’s goal with a corner kick. For the first time this season, the DSC scored a goal from a corner. Previously, Ritsu Doan and Marcel Hartel, as shooters, had always tried in vain to deliver a decisive standard template.
Vlap also played the pass to Andreas Voglsammer, who then gave Gebauer the 3-1. Perhaps the newcomer is exactly the missing piece of the mosaic for the offensive game of the DSC, which, despite the three-pack in Munich, is now the second weakest offensive in the league with 18 goals from 20 games.
Voglsammer is also almost a newcomer after a long injury break (until his starting line-up debut in Munich with only 48 minutes). He clearly indicated how valuable he could still be for the Bielefeld team.
It continues in quick succession, on Friday (8.30 p.m. / Dazn) VfL Wolfsburg arrives. “If we can deliver it here, then we can do it against other opponents. We can’t let up, we can’t rest on our performance anyway, ”said captain Fabian Klos.
It remains to be seen whether Ritsu Doan will be able to play against fourth in the table on Friday. The Japanese suffered a slight inner ligament strain in Munich.
