FC Bayern in crisis. The fuss about the unvaccinated players can ensure that it gets really dark for the German flagship club.

Munich. The case of Joshua Kimmich (26) is not only causing a stir and discussions throughout Germany. This is of course uncomfortable for FC Bayern Munich, but the real problem for the club is the internal situation. A comment on the dangerous situation in Bavaria.

Joshua Kimmich stuffed his hands deep into his jacket pocket on October 23, 2021. He had to explain with a serious face in front of the Sky cameras what had become public a few hours earlier: The star of FC Bayern Munich is not vaccinated. It was a visibly uncomfortable moment after FC Bayern’s 4-0 win against Hoffenheim.

Kimmich’s arguments: personal concerns. However, he is not a vaccination opponent or corona denier. Did the 26-year-old already have a feeling of what his behavior should achieve in public? Or whether he realized what his behavior had already done weeks before within the team?

FC Bayern Munich likes to call itself a family. And now everyone can imagine what it means if everyone in a family does not look out for one another. Especially when it comes to health. With Kimmich, a total of five Bayern players are said to have been unvaccinated by the end of October. The colleagues who were vaccinated were rightly angry.

It is unclear how it came to be known that Kimmich was not vaccinated. Did colleagues, players’ agents or even doctors push this through to the outside world? FC Bayern may be a family, but it is also a shark tank – full of successful people and alpha animals – including those around the team. Many also pursue their own interests there. And if someone else shows weakness, every means is used for a possible personal advantage.

Joshua Kimmich’s team-mate Thomas Müller (32) made it clear what he thinks of the whole vaccination discussion: He himself is a “vaccination friend” and Müller hoped that “the players who have not yet been vaccinated will change their minds and make themselves Take heart. ”The aim is to“ get out of this corona phase together. As far as I know, vaccination is the best way to do this. ”He’s right. But for whatever reasons, not everyone at Bayern sees it that way.

Now, after another quarantine tam-tam around Kimmich, the 1: 2 at FC Augsburg followed on November 19, 2021. Whether the new Bayern boss Oliver Kahn (52) gets the situation sorted out is questionable. In the past few weeks, many have certainly tried to convince the opponents of the vaccination in their own ranks at Bayern.
