January 29, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich manager, Julian Nagelsmann, has urged his team to quickly return to form after a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt extended the Bundesliga leaders’ poor run of results.
The defending champions have now been held to three consecutive 1-1 draws since the league resumed after the World Cup and winter break, and they sit just one point ahead of Union Berlin at the summit. Nagelsmann went as far as to dub the situation a “crisis” and said: “In order to be able to play big games, you have to play the small ones in such a way that you are in a good run from the psychology point of view.”
With a Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain just over two weeks away, poor form is a cause of concern. “We don’t have too much time before the big games to get into this run. So, we must start at some point – the first step is always the hardest,” he added.
Thomas Muller, Bayern Munich’s captain for the draw against Frankfurt, also assessed the situation similarly and declared the performances are not good enough for a club of Bayern’s stature. “Frankfurt made it difficult for us. But the situation is as it is. We have to do better,” Muller said post-match.
“Drawing three times – that’s not possible, we’re Bayern Munich. It is clear that we are dissatisfied, that we do not win three times in a row. It’s brutally annoying.”
