Bayern Munich

À 21 ans, Alphonso Davies s'apprête à disputer la saison la plus importante de sa jeune carrière. Avec son club, le Bayern Munich, « Fonzy » voit grand et ...

Le 23 novembre, il disputera le premier match de Coupe du monde de sa carrière face à la Belgique. « Je me sens bien dans ce club, a poursuivi Davies. En tant que joueur, tout y est réuni pour s’épanouir. Au niveau du jeu, nous prenons beaucoup de plaisir et nous avons encore beaucoup d’appétit, même si nous avons remporté les dix derniers championnats. À présent, il espère que son corps va le laisser en paix afin de pouvoir enchaîner les matchs tous les trois jours cet automne, avec un calendrier très chargé au programme. Je me sens en pleine forme physique et mentale et prêt à relever tous ces défis. » À mes yeux, il est même le numéro un. Auteur d’une bonne préparation lors notamment d’une tournée d’une semaine à Washington et à Green Bay, aux États-Unis, où il a été le joueur munichois le plus sollicité par les médias locaux, il monte incontestablement en puissance, comme l’atteste sa performance aboutie lors de la reprise du championnat à Francfort (6-1), vendredi dernier. C’est un joueur rapidement devenu indispensable au Bayern. Il est aussi un combattant qui a su forcer son destin en montrant énormément de courage et d’abnégation. » Il vise d’abord un nouveau titre de champion d’Allemagne, qui serait le 11e consécutif pour les Bavarois, et son quatrième personnel. Éliminé dès les quarts de finale par la modeste équipe espagnole de Villareal au printemps, le plus titré des clubs allemands vise le Graal continental le 10 juin 2023 à Istanbul. Nous voulons désormais le onzième. Notre envie de vaincre est toujours aussi forte. Il aura été absent pendant quasiment quatre mois (de janvier à avril) à cause d’une inflammation du muscle cardiaque consécutive à sa COVID-19 contractée fin janvier. Aujourd’hui, je suis soulagé et heureux de pouvoir de nouveau exercer mon métier. »

Sadio Mané had two goals ruled out through VAR but Bayern Munich still managed to beat Wolfsburg 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Alphonso Davies had done well to race down the left before pulling it back for Kimmich. Benjamin Pavard struck the crossbar and Mané’s goal was ruled out before Musiala finally made Bayern’s dominance pay in the 33rd minute. The 19-year-old German forward eluded two defenders before steadying himself to dispatch the ball inside the left post.

Cristante fired a low shot from outside the crowded box to put Roma ahead as the ball bounced off the pitch twice before it landed in bottom right corner. Roma’s new signing Dybala came close to doubling their lead before the break but his strike hit the right post. Mané also put the ball in the net twice more but his efforts were cancelled by VAR reviews for offside. The Bavarians had crushed Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 in their Bundesliga opener last week. Wolfsburg played a lot of long balls to get out of our pressing. We needed some time but got going and maybe we could have scored one or two more goals.”

Slowly but surely, Bayern took control and Sadio Mane was denied a first goal in Munich by the flag when he turned in from close-range. The 19-year-old Musiala fired home the opener in the 33rd minute on Sunday before the ever-alert Muller deflected in a second shortly before the interval. First-half goals from Jamal Musiala and Thomas Muller have taken Bayern Munich back to the top of the Bundesliga, thanks to a routine 2-0 victory over visiting Wolfsburg.

But how far Bayern are from that, and how different things are at least trending in the Premier League — perhaps conventional wisdom overstates these. For comparison, Champions League qualification — which for me personally is one of the more intriguing aspects of each Premier League season given the number of top teams in contention — produced a weaker effect and with statistical significance north of the usual boundary (if barely: p = 0.051). Another quote from that working paper is this — “A match with the highest championship significance...would be expected to attract an aggregate audience size 96 percent higher than one with no implications at all for the prizes to be awarded at the end of the season”, teams involved notwithstanding. Those were the days of a different Top Four — or three? Manchester City have won four of the last five; one team ( Leicester City) not named City, Liverpool, Manchester United, or Chelsea FC — a group of five teams — has won it since 2003/04, and that was the Arsenal’s Invincibles year of yore. In Germany, of course, Bayern are the Empire. The baddies, that’s us.

“I also watched all the training sessions from the first one and he watched my sessions. I now expect the same from my players and that’s how I am as a coach, nothing has changed,” she declared. From her time as a player, Schöne has a lot of points to take, especially her time at Freiburg when she was captain. Asked on what it means for her to be on the sidelines as a coach, Schöne reveals that when she had to end her playing career, she simply couldn’t imagine not working with a team. But Nathalie also taught me a lot about dealing with players and parents and about tactical components,” Schöne said, praising the present coordinator of talent promotion. At the same time, building team spirit and enjoying what they do is equally important, Schöne emphasizes.

Bayern are looking to dominate the Bundesliga once again and secure a seventh UEFA Champions League title, and Coman knows that the club are building a team to do just that. The 26-year-old Frenchman opened up on the prospects of winning more trophies with the Bavarian giants and the departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona. The new Bundesliga season has seen Frankfurt president Peter Fischer take a cheeky swipe at Bayern and their new signing, Sadio Mané.

The latter has had a great start, and Matthijs de Ligt may not get a place in the XI so easily. Alphonso Davies will obviously get a mention because he was easily a top-three player on the pitch today. The security he offers Bayern at the back is invaluable. This is one of the biggest storylines of this season early on, and I’m lovin’ it. Bayern managed to keep a clean sheet (!!!) which deserves its own celebratory article, but for now, a place in the match observations will have to do. It feels good to have such tight competition in the midfield at last. Sabitzer is having a remontada, and it is happening at the perfect time. The Wolfsburg defenders simply had no answer, and Musiala dominated once again. The players formed triangles and conducted small, well-concerted presses that isolated Wolfsburg players and forced turnovers. There was a lot of attacking intent as the team pushed Bayern into their own half for the first 15 minutes. Bayern players switched to cruise control, and while still dominating, let Wolfsburg sit back while they passed the ball around probing for breakthroughs. But I suppose the win is what matters in the end, and the clean sheet is certainly the icing on the cake.

“I think the perception is changing, but it’s changing slowly. “I keep telling people that Emanuel Reynoso could play in the Premier League. He could go in there and do well, without a shadow of a doubt. He said: “I keep telling people that there are players here who could do it in the Premier League, without a shadow of a doubt.
