What a tricky decision for Thomas Tuchel (49)!
In the last Bundesliga home game of the season on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky), FC Bayern is facing the penultimate and possibly most difficult step towards the championship once morest Leipzig.
With only one point ahead of second-placed Dortmund, every little detail in the top game once morest RB might have a major impact on the long-distance duel for the cup with BVB (will not play until Sunday in Augsburg).
So Tuchel has to set up his absolute top eleven. But what does it actually look like at the moment?
Not only because of the ongoing topic of Thomas Müller (33) a tricky question. In addition to the fan favorite, another top star suddenly has to tremble for his place in the starting eleven: Leon Goretzka (28)!
Leon Goretzka made 38 competitive appearances for Bayern this season (six goals, six assists)
The midfield worker is actually set in the center next to Joshua Kimmich (28). But in the second half of the season, Goretzka has so far been far from his top form.
Defensively, the national player was overplayed too often too easily. Offensively surprised his many bad passes. Goretzka’s total failure in the Munich 1: 3 debacle in Mainz is remembered as a symbol of this low (BILD note 6).
Significant: After missing the 2-1 win in Bremen due to a yellow card suspension, Tuchel Goretzka sat on the bench in the following home game once morest his former club Schalke. In the 6-0 win once morest the relegation candidate, Bayern played convincingly for the first time in weeks – partly because the flexible double eight with Müller and Jamal Musiala (20) in front of Kimmich worked well.
Now Goretzka is the next problem for Tuchel! Julian Nagelsmann’s (35) successor has to make a difficult decision…
TV legend doesn’t even want to hear the question When it comes to Kimmich, Reif is suddenly stunned!
Does he let one of his most important leaders out once more so as not to blow up the successful Schalke self? Conceivable despite Goretzka’s high standing in the team.
In recent weeks, the coach has often relied on a well-rehearsed team and rewarded the players who had performed well in the previous week. In addition to Goretzka, Dayot Upamecano (24) was on the bench following surviving a torn muscle fiber because Benjamin Pavard (27) had previously represented him in central defense.
Or will Goretzka rotate back into the starting XI because of his experience and leadership qualities?
What might speak for Goretzla: With their fast offensive game, Leipzig will be more open to an open exchange of blows than the Bayern opponents of the past few weeks, who often put themselves in the back. If things go back and forth with counterattacks, that would actually be a classic game for midfield turbo Goretzka.
Until Kane’s free transfer Will Bayern take Dzeko for a year?
Müller and Goretzka – two controversial questions that Tuchel has to answer by Saturday. The coach announced last weekend: “There will always be close decisions. The more hard decisions we have the better – that means everyone is healthy and everyone deserves to play.”
If things go according to that, Bayern can confidently go into their last home game in 2022/23.
