Poor defense causes Bayern Munich to collapse

In the early morning of April 9, Bayern disappointed when they lost 1-2 to Inter Milan at home. Main striker Harry Kane failed to score against the Serie A representative, forcing Bayern to win by 2 goals in the second leg to advance.

Responding to Tri Thuc - Znews , journalist Stephen Uersfeld of NTV said that Kane had a match to forget. At the same time, he believes that veteran Muller can help the "Gray Tigers" turn the tables in the second leg.

Kane disappoints

- Was Bayern Munich's two losses to Inter Milan due to individual mistakes?

- Both of Bayern's goals were similar. The defenders were careless and did not mark the opponent closely for the first goal, allowing Lautaro Martinez to score in the 38th minute.

The same thing happened in the second goal when Frattesi easily increased the score to 2-1 for the Serie A representative. Bayern Munich's defense has always had such problems this season. Inter simply punished the "Gray Tigers" mistakes.

Should Bayern Munich blame themselves for wasting opportunities?

- I don't think Bayern have to do that. Kane had two clear chances to score but couldn't take advantage. I understand Kane needs to win to keep his hopes of winning a major title alive. He can still win the Bundesliga with Bayern if he doesn't reach the Champions League final.

But look at the role of Thomas Muller, who will leave the club at the end of the season. He came off the bench and scored against Inter. It is fair to say that Muller should be an option for Vincent Kompany to consider for a starting role. He knows what he needs to do on the pitch.

Muller could be the turning point

Without Jamal Musiala in the team, do you think Bayern Munich will be weaker?

- It's hard to replace Musiala at the moment. He's one of the best players in the team. He plays in the space between the opposition's defence and midfield, knows how to put pressure on them and create chances. It's hard to understand why the coach would replace Musiala with a defender like Raphael Guerreiro, who is a winger. Guerreiro is versatile and can play in many positions, but he's not suited to the "number 10" role like Musiala.

Why didn't the coach use Muller? He was the one who could have made the difference in his final season at Bayern, a player who was excellent right from his debut in the first team.

Injuries are also a big problem for Bayern at the moment. We are talking about Musiala, Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies who are all out due to injuries. The club is in a difficult situation. However, things are not over for Bayern yet.

- Finally, what should Bayern do in the second leg in Italy?

- In the second leg, Bayern must keep a clean sheet, believe in their team's strength and play strong attacking football. The "Gray Tigers" need to score 2 goals against their opponents. In addition, I think the coach should consider starting Muller. The team cannot lose in the same way as in the first leg. There is still a chance for Bayern to make amends.

Bayern's season is not over yet, they still have a chance to win the Bundesliga and still compete for a ticket to the Champions League. If they reach the semi-finals, Bayern could face Dortmund or other top teams. That is the scenario we need to consider later.

Thank you for this conversation.

Kane's classy performance In the early morning of March 12, Kane contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, helping Bayern beat Leverkusen 2-0 away, thereby entering the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 5-0.
