Misfiring Mane headlines Bayern’s woes ahead of Leverkusen clash

The Hindu  

Bayern Munich’s history of success in German football can often see the term “crisis” thrown around the moment points are dropped, but with the team sitting fifth in the Bundesliga after seven games, there is little doubt all is not well. “Sadio is in this process, everything will soon be more familiar to him and we will soon see that on the pitch.” Bayern president Herbert Hainer promised on Wednesday “we’ll see a whole different team on Friday - and a winning team too”, saying his side “will step on the gas” against the visiting Leverkusen. Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann hailed as a potential 10-year coach at the club even before winning the Bundesliga title last year, is going through the toughest time, overseeing Bayern’s longest winless run in more than two decades. Never a good omen, Salihamidzic told the media on Wednesday that Nagelsmann “is under no internal pressure at all” at the club despite the team sitting five points behind leaders Union Berlin.
