Robert Lewandowski won almost every possible title last season, but he does not intend to stop. The Bayern Munich striker helped them get out of an embarrassing 2-0 deficit against Mainz at the break, and through a double to make it 2-5, to bring the German champions back to the top of the Bundesliga. The champion has won quite a few reviews for her game, especially in the first half, but at least when it comes to conquests, the bunch of Hansi Flick on the right way.
Lewandowski opened 2021 just as he closed 2020, raising his league record to 19 in 13 games as he raced for the top scorers (Dortling’s Holland Holland has “only” 10, in second place). The question now is whether he will be able to achieve the mythological record of Gerd Müller who allowed 40 goals in 1971/72 – the most goals in one season in the Bundesliga. “Gerd Müller may feel uncomfortable this season,” commentator Sky said Luther Mathews“I’m convinced that Bandowski will finally break his record at the end of the season.”
Flick was furious with the players in the half after Bayern recorded their eighth consecutive game in which they fell behind in the league. “Obviously I can also raise my voice,” said the European champions coach at the end. “You have learned over the years that you have to be very clear about everything that is happening. Yes I raised my voice about the players and explained to them that there are things we need to do better. For us (Joshua Kimich moved to play right-back, Nicklas Zola and Leon Goretzka came in). We won most battles and managed to reverse the result. ”
Bayern had concerns about the injury of Serge Gnabry who was replaced towards the end. Flick confirmed it was an injury after receiving a kick from a Mainz player. It is still unclear when he will return to training, but in any case it looks like it will happen in the coming days.
