Despite the opening win
“Horrible!” Babbel settles accounts with Bayern star
FC Bayern Munich celebrated a successful start to the season with a 3-2 win over Hasenhüttl's Wolfsburg on coach Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga debut. And yet ex-Bayer Markus Babbel was merciless in his criticism of one player.
The target of criticism: Min-Jae Kim! The 27-year-old central defender even lacks the level to play in the Bundesliga, according to the former Bayern player.
"They played very confidently in the first half, should have led 2 or 3:0, but then something happened after the half-time break. You come out and after 20 seconds there's a penalty because there are positional errors and individual mistakes again," the German analyzed in "Blick Kick".
"A lot of technical errors"
"The 1:2 was outrageous. Kim worries me a lot. He somehow doesn't fit in with Bayern Munich. He was defensive player of the season in Italy, but at Bayern it's horrible," Babbel continued. "He makes too many technical mistakes, including technical errors, which simply shouldn't happen at this level. That's simply not Bundesliga-like. These mistakes shouldn't happen at Kiel or St. Pauli either. These mistakes also get Upamecano into trouble because he's not the leader type and sees that he has someone next to him who is completely insecure. And then you give up de Ligt, who was the best central defender for everyone. That really worries me."
Bayern were clearly superior in the Bundesliga opener before the break and went in front through Jamal Musiala (20'). After half-time, however, Munich let the lead slip from their grasp. First Wolfsburg's Lovro Majer scored with a penalty (47'), a few minutes later the Croatian even took the lead after an assist from Wimmer (55'). At least Bayern came back! An own goal from VfL player Jakub Kaminski equalized (65'), before Serge Gnabry scored the winner for Munich (82').
"At least they're fitter"
"Compliments to Bayern that they still managed to turn the game around. That shows that they are at least fitter than last season," said Babbel.
