Five observations of the nervous victory of Bayern Munich on Holstein Kiel

Bayern Munich managed to snatch a 4-3 marginal victory against Holstein Kiel after having succeeded four goals.

An unnecessarily stressful end to a game that should have been a simple navigation.

Here are the biggest dishes to remember.

Devoid of defensive cohesion

Let’s start with evil, and the boy was the summary defense of Bayern Munich.

Now, I do not want to chalk all the defensive performance until the dying minutes of the game. Although it was undeniably a bad defense, which made Bayern conceded two goals in two minutes of additional time, to tell the truth, Kiel Could have been two goals in the first ten minutes if they had been more clinical.

The defense of Bayern is far from being in ruins. Despite being eliminated from the park a few times this season, Rekordmeister in fact had a strong defense, especially in the Bundesliga. This is mainly summed up with the very improved and physically capable central matching of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae. However, against Kiel, the defensive duo was far from their best.

Probably a consequence of a lack of minutes playing together, the last time ironically another defensive disaster against Feyenoord in the Champions League, Upamecano and Kim certainly need more minutes together to regain their pace.

Maltus game management

After singing the praises of his team for having kept a 2-1 advance against SC Freiburg last week, you cannot imagine that Vincent Kompany is satisfied with the way the Bayern closed the match against Kiel, narrowly avoiding A spectacular self-implication.

A calm kane is never silent for a long time

It would be extremely difficult to criticize Harry Kane’s time in a Bayern Munich jersey. The Englishman set fire to the Bundesliga since he set foot for the first time in the club. Recording the record after the record and the desire for each defense against which he clashed, Kane continues to shine, now becoming the most prolific Bundesliga scorer in his first 50 games, with 55 goals.

However, even the harvest cream sometimes receives a place of criticism and in the case of Kane, the 31 -year -old striker has often been accused of becoming invisible in games, touches and involvement in the game of the accumulation.

Harry Kane’s performance against Holstein Kiel may have been perfect defense, rather useless criticism, Kane continues to receive from time to time.

In the first half of the match, Kane had been rather silent and not involved, which wondered if they wondered if he was actually on the field. Fider the dying embers of the first half, without any evidence that Kane would make a significant stamp on the game, he does the best: puts the ball at the back of the net. To make things even better, it would only take a minute after the start of the second half so that Kane put Bayern 3-0 and secure a splint.

Harry Kane is never only invisible, but rather wait patiently, analyzing and calculating the best time to strike, and when he does, you can almost guarantee that it will be a deadly blow.

After all, let’s not forget what is Kane’s main objective in Bayern Munich: score goals. What does Kane do nearly flawless? I let you answer this one.

Musiala magistrate

While Florian Wirtz was the one who made the headlines of his presentation performances in recent weeks, Jamala Musiala has had an equally impressive season.

The 19th minute opener of Musiala, assisted by Michael Olise, was an excellent example of what Bayern must do, but are so often unable to do to break a low block. Speed, precision and creativity, Bayern has gone through a beautiful sequence of passes which unleashed olise which square the ball in Musiala, which pulled the ball at the back of the net to mark its tenth goal from the Bundesliga of the season.

Even more impressive, Musiala’s goal against Kiel scores the 3rd consecutive season of Bundesliga from the 21 -year -old with a two -digit goal.

The difference between high world class is so often limited to consistency. When others, like Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané, struggled to attract a series of coherent performance, it is good to see Musiala put continuous performance week after week.

Brinus scream at Musiala for celebrating not having been underlying by Vincent Kompany in the 58th minute. It’s so refreshing to see a player so hungry to stay on the field despite the big gap in the scoring at the time.

The importance of a good finish cannot be underestimated

Serge Gnabry was not exactly showered for his final capacity recently, however, after the end of the 29 -year -old world class, he certainly deserves a series of applause, in particular given the importance of the objective.

After the volley of the 54th minute of Gnabry, Bayern was four goals from Kiel and crossed a massive victory, however, the game ended very differently and almost led to Storks Make one of the most emblematic feedback in the history of Bundesliga.

He certainly did not know the importance of his goal in the moment, but it turned out to be the goal that earned Bayern was a vital point of three points and will just show, even three goals for good , each goal counts.
