Things aren’t proceeding smoothly for Bayern Munich Coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Fresh off a 1-0 defeat to rivals Borussia Dortmund, the Bavarians didn’t just lose their first Bundesliga game of the season, they also surrendered first place in the BuLi rankings, leaving the undefeated RB Leipzig in first place.
This isn’t the first warning sign we’ve seen in recent weeks: beaten by Atletico Madrid and forced to mount a comeback to beat PSV, the Bundesliga title holders have also flattered to deceive in recent weeks.
Jerome Boateng and Kingsley Coman have regressed, while national daily Das Bild had something to say, too:
“The team’s current situation should be a real concern. “Among the main problems, the 4-3-3 system isn’t exciting anyone, the players have too much liberty on the pitch, and there isn’t an offensive mindset in normal circumstances.
“After three intense years with Guardiola, Bayern are still looking for a new identity”.
